Is it luck?

[Decadance]

This has absolutly nuthing to do with Move, I just wanna know wat you guys think about this lil story. I was visiting my brother and he got me a Luck bracelet from my home town in Brazil. Now the day I put it on, I got hit in the eye playing football right before my class picture (so I had a black eye) and the same night I was in a car crash (no one was seriously hurt). Now is it luck that I never got seriously hurt from all of this or just purely a bad luck bracelet?

Personally I don't believe in luck or fate, but that's just my opinion.

I have the opposite view as Richard. I'm a religious person, so I definitely think things can be 'surrounded' with good vibes or bad vibes.

Your bracelet isn't necessarily unlucky. But if you associate that bracelet with bad things happening, you might choose to stop wearing it for that reason alone. Spirituality is intuitive, so you kind of have to listen to your heart. Hope that doesn't sound corny.

There's some places I go to that just have an overall "good feeling" about it, and other places have a overall "bad feeling" about it. For example, there's a street corner in a nearby city that gives me bad vibes. It has children scam artists, it feels like people would run you over in a heartbeat, and the store owner practically worships the devil, so I just don't get good feelings about it. I have even prayed for that street corner. You have a power against evil forces when you pray for angels to protect you.

If a person says something negative like "I'm never going to pass this test," then it's almost like they're talking themself into a ditch. So people shouldn't set themselves up for failure, so to speak. Words have power. Have positive thoughts because the rest of the body follows what the mind is thinking.

Life is unpredictable. All you can do really is surround yourself with good positive things. For me, it comes from praying a lot. I pray for business, traffic, weather, my car, my family, safety, everything. However, bad things still happen to me. Does this mean my prayers don't work? No, but prayer does have a positive effect, though God is ultimately in control.

But no, I certainly don't think that just any luck bracelet can bring you good luck. Nonetheless if someone has a bracelet or ring or whatever that they say brings them good luck, I certainly wouldn't discourage them from believing that good things will continue to happen to them. In my family, we like to use the expression "good fortune" instead of luck. "Luck" implies that God had nothing to do with it.
