Luck (also known as chance, fate, destiny, fortune, lot, accident, kismet) is a much bigger part of Life than we generally realize. Luck appears to come in only two flavors … good or bad. But, as the Sages remind us, who knows what is good and what is bad?

Luck can be very fickle. And, our relationship to luck is very fickle, too. We tend to embrace and take credit for good luck, but we tend to disown bad luck and point the finger of blame elsewhere.

For most Americans, our very first stroke of incredibly good luck is where we were born … the United States of America. Consider this: Half of the World’s human beings somehow live on $5 – or less – per day. Imagine! Most of “us” spend $5 – or more – every hour of every day. So, luck is also quite relative.

In conclusion, you lucky devils, thank your lucky stars, don’t press your luck, good luck with that, best of luck, good jeux jeux, mazel tov! and break a leg.
