In my contests, everybody wins.

And in this one, I want to make a point but instead of just spill it out, it'd be better if you give it a thought for a while. And getting some SBD is always good too.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to answer this simple question -

Are you a lucky person and why?


The Rules:

  • The contest begins today and will last until the end of the month;
  • Give your answer as a comment. Only one comment per person;
  • A yes/no comment would not be sufficient. You must explain why.
  • Your comment does not have to be a written one only;
  • The prize: 15 SBD;
  • How the prize will be divided?: 100% will go to the person who gave an answer that I will have chosen most fit. If there is no such, the prize will be divided between my second favorable answers.
  • To keep the contest fair I will not comment on any of your answers. I will upvote each (1%) to show that I have seen it. In the end, I will announce the winner and post my explanation for choosing.

    Good luck!

Everyday I'm seeing people begging money in the streets, they can't work because of their disability and I'm seeing people having a new Lamborghini but yet they aren't satisfied and happy so they bought a new Ferrari, i'm seeing people who have all the resources he wants; but yet never satisfied and committed suicide.

I realized that I'm the luckiest person alive, i can run outside and feel the fresh air, i can touch my cute dog, i can taste the sweetness of ice cream, i can smell the fragrance of a flower. Being alive in this world is an opportunity to everybody, but yet few people gave importance about life. Life is full of adventure and volatile emotions, but despite of ups and downs we never quit in the game of life, because we only live once, be grateful and enjoy the moment. :)

I am lucky to be alive!

Hospital v2.JPG

I died twice after complications with ulcerative colitis, in total I had twelve surgeries over three years and now live with a permanent ostomy bag.

I am lucky I am fit and healthy

Insideout Banner No Logo with shoe.jpg

Me kicking arse! I spent years fearing a hernia as with an ostomy it is 50% more likely. My hubby @shai-hulud and I have now been training consistently for over three years and I have a very healthy relationship between chocolate and cardio.

I am lucky to have found the most amazing partner

Wedding v2.jpg

Love was something I thought I would never find living with an ostomy bag. This man accepted me and not only loved me as I was but taught me how to love myself again.

I have a million more reason's why I am lucky but I know by the end of the month you will have a lot to read so I will keep it to just these three. Thanks for putting this contest out there :)

I'm lucky one can't believe you married that neckface pretty sure that I should be winning this competition for being so lucky to land such an amazing wife.

Ok so maybe I didn't pick the most flattering picture of YOU... lol... But our wedding was pre-gym days. You have a much better-defined neck these days lol!

Amazing! You are like a cat, you died twice and came back! Lets not try again though! Keep going to the gym and keep getting healthier! Use your kick to kick all adversities!

Haha thanks, yeah twice was enough. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my entry :) was fun finding the photos to portray the luck lol.

While reading so many stories from Steemiens such as @insideoutlet, @soumon lol 😂 about his lost steemit password, @brigitte0659 and so many others “why they feel lucky” it made me share my story as well. I’m very shy person. Steemit platform was the first time I’ve ever shared something personal publicaly. Perhaps, because to me steemit feels like a family.

I feel lucky not getting killed in my 20’s when my friend took me for a ride with his new sport motorcycle 🏍. We crashed head to head with incoming car, both at speed of 60 mph. That day police called me flying @milano1113. My best childhood friend had broken leg, hand and surgery of his abdomen. I was not injured at all, instead they found me laying in shock between trees 90 feet away from the accident. I also feel lucky I didn’t kill myself when I bought my first car Dodge Daytona when I had a few moments feeling extremely lucky.

There are so many times when I felt lucky to be still alive. But one “I feel lucky” stands above all. It was about two years ago when our friend had been diagnosed for the third time with cancer. One of it was skin cancer “Melanoma”the worst cancer of all skin cancers. She told us and everybody she knew to get checked, to see doctor or dermatologist. If she wasn’t diagnosed soon anough, she would not be here with us anymore. About two weeks ago her 40 years old daughter passed away, she had a cancer. She left behind two small children and husband. I’m 40 years old as well, I lost my father when I was 10, but I can’t imagine the pain of mother loosing her child.

One day I went to the beach with my wife. It was a beautiful and hot day. We went swimming, we had a great fun when she noticed this strange tiny mole on my back. She immediately remembered our friend’s advise. We scheduled an appointment with our doctor. They took biopsy from my back and we thought it all was just a precautionary. After few days past I remember shopping with my wife when I had phone cal from our doctor. I immediately knew something was not right. I picked up the phone and doctor said “you have a skin cancer melanoma”. The same day I was immediately scheduled for surgery. Fortunately it didn’t spread to my blood. Today I feel lucky 🍀, because my wife noticed this very tiny mole on my back. We both got checked from toe to head and fortunately we are healthy and in a great shape today. I’m getting checked every six months, I had about 20 precautionary biopsies since then and everything seem fine. I encourage everyone to get checked for skin cancer. Even if you don’t see anything unusual, it’s worth it. Sometimes you can’t prevent accidents, but you can prevent in many cases this killer #1. Don’t wait! It can happen to anyone!

Strive on and live strong my friend.

Luck - success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions.

For the past months I can surely say that luck was on my favor. I discovered the Steem blockchain "by chance" after I attempted to google something out of the blue. After which, I only waited for less than 2 days for the confirmation link which took many people weeks or even months to get.

Less than two weeks of being on here, I was lucky to get noticed by a "soon-to-be-dolphin" at that time @techslut because of how I did well on a Curation Engagement League something2 to which I also discovered "by chance" as it was the first thing on my hot list feed. I was also even far away from winning that one, most likely on 7th place, but I was still lucky to be the one chosen by her to be delegated some SP which tremendously helped me on my journey here on Steem.

So to answer your question, Yes! I think I am pretty lucky. XD

I once heard that luck is when preparation meets opportunity. I've always felt pretty lucky myself. Raised by intelligent and hard working parents in one of the highest standard of living countries in the world. My parents taught me well from a young age so i was able to excel in school. I still remeber being complimented by many of my teachers and even one of them pulling me aside and telling me i have to gift to do what ever i want in my life as long as i stick to it and give it a full effort. My later day in junior high and highschool we're a breeze. I was able to get through with little to no effort. Good at most sport without much effort either, something i attributed to natural gifts. During and after college things were great, i had plenty of friends and parties, causually dated lots of beautiful women. That lead to a few longer term girlfriends. Landed a pretty decent job where i got to travel lots and see tons of beautiful places on my journies. Then a few years ago i got fairly sick with an immunological disorder that would require me to be on multiple forms immunosuppresants that were also used as chemotherapy to treat some forms of cancer. Once the medical problems started i lost my girlfriend at the time. She didn't seem to want to be around a sickly guy with an uncertain future like myself. After the first two medications i was on failed to treat my condition depression started setting in. The luck i had come accustomed to seemed to be a thing of my past. Well everything in my life seemed to be taking a spiral down to toilet I decided to text a girl i had met a few years previous that I had a crush on. Well things ended up going good and now we have a handsome young lad and my medical condition is starting to look very optimistic that i will likely not need another chemotherapy infusion. After having a lot of time to reflect where I've come from and where I am today I've come to the conclusion that luck is a lot about how you look at things. If you have people that love you, a roof over your head and some food in your belly then consider yourself very lucky because many people don't have these luxuries and it can all be taken away in seconds. A few things that can possibly increase your luck are having an optimisic point of veiw. Living life in the moment. Working hard. And strive to become one with the universe, you'll be surprised what she has to offer you. Love you all. Peace be upon you and stay blessed.

Yes...because I participate in this contest :)

I think yes
Interesting gift, easy job why not

Yes
I like your contes mr. @nomad-magus

Yes
Why do not you give very many gifts who is not interested?

Loading...

Yes
who is not interested?
But contest is amazing

Am such a lucky person because i always be at the right place at the right time, and i make use of every opportunity that comes my way and i think that's the most lucky thing one could do for himself.

Very wonderful competitions I really wish to be a winner
The anthrax is really successful😍😍

Yes, I am fortunate, rather very fortunate, you know why ?, because I grew up in a home full of my parents' love, a humble home without luxuries where I learned those principles that help us to be better people. I had the opportunity to prepare myself academically and achieve a university degree. I am fortunate because I met and married the best man in the world, the best husband and the best father for my children, I have 2 beautiful children who represent the engine of my life. So, I can not ask for more from life. I have a home that little by little my husband and I have built and where we are very happy. In spite of the strong economic crisis that Venezuelans are going through today, I can still tell you that I am fortunate since we met Steemit and with this we have been able to resolve many of the debts we had. I am just lucky because my family and I are together, we are healthy and in spite of everything we are ALIVE.

15 sbd, not the least amount of bosses, the rewards are quite interesting, for one contest

אני ברת מזל, כיוון שכל כך הרבה דברים היו צריכים לקרות על מנת שאהיה חלק מן עולם הזה שזה מדהים לחשוב שלמרות ההסתברות הנמוכה זאת אני כאן...

עכשיו אני חושבת חיי למה ולאן ?
בשביל ההגינות, אומר שבתגובה זו ועם היוזר הזה (שכוונתי שישמש לפוסטים בענינים מדעיים...כמו סטטיסטיקה והסתברות למשל :-) )
אני לא משתתפת בתחרות שלך.
פשוט בא לי לשתף כאן בעוד כיוון של חשיבה, אז תודה על ההזמנה לתחרות שהעלתה בי את המחשבה!

Yeah I am a lucky person. Cause I lost my steemit password and my account value was near about 15 dollars. I already stopped doing work by this account. Fortunately one day when it crossed over 15 dollars that day I found a screen shot in my recycle bin folder. And OMG there was my password of steemit account what I am using right now @soumon.

Are you a lucky person and why?

Yes and not.

It's simple, I live in Venezuela one of the countries with the most homicides in South America, where we are going through a humanitarian crisis, there are no medicines, food is difficult to obtain, we are trapped here to a certain extent.
the times I have been robbed I have not received any shots or stabbings, you could say that I have a good immune system, I can eat at least once or more per day and best of all I still have the strength to keep going and fighting.

The luck is not more than the vision that we have on the things that can happen to us, already it depends on you if you think that it is good or bad.
Now i feel lucky to stay alive.

No, I'm not a lucky person. Because results I have gotten, are products of a conscious effort to get better and met set goals/milestones. The reward? Fulfillment and achievement. I'll be very worried, if I had to rely on luck. What happens when my luck runs out? I've never heard of the dividends of hardworking running out. Besides, when people usually say someone is lucky, they have no idea about the amount of sweat, tears and grinding that individual put in. Working hard puts you in a position to be seen.... This is what the "lucky crew" call luck.

I think I need to turn this into a blog entry. Lol. Have something similar though.

At the end though, it's not a yes or no question in general. It is, in specific instances. This is why I believe you asked for reasons. Cheers

what you say this word ..?

I am lucky!!!
It's because I am alive, had/have the chance to see the beauty of the World that was created by God, and also I because I have a loving family who supports me all the way.

no doubt i am a lucky person

in my childhood i keep myself in a general family.but i am now a service holder.

because

    i all time believe my religion.

in my childhood some time i didnt
get any money and food..but i all time try to repect others.but fall in down from those person that i respected. once i worked in a rich home . they torture me some time with harder. i was crying alone...
i never told anybody anything.but some time heared motivational speech. and beside work i start studying.and i becoming to gain success day by day.no dout i study harder to change my luck..
now i am a bcs service holder.now where i worked as a worker in the rich man.

i am now the husband of his little daughter.
i worked hard and i gain a great success,,
thanks for posting contest

obviously i am a lucky person

i am a student of engineering. but i never
remain to be an engineer.in my life i dont get any help from other.once i had no money. i went one of the rich person of my villege. he did't give me money.
so i decided to be a great person..and i got my turning point to a great life..
now my hard working keep me an engineering student.no doubt i am a lucky person..thanks
from zero to become a great. i all time believe myself
thanks for contest

I am a very lucky person !
I was shot from almost zero distance, I was injured in my 2 hands..
I saw the end for a moment in the mouth of the gun I was shot from.
I waited for death for another shoot but I was saved ... I am still alive, do you beleive it ?
However, some people would say the opposite, I am not so lucky to be involved in such a coincedence.
What do you think ?

Yes I am a lucky person.
Because it can still breathe the air has become a very big favor.
And there are still many things that make me feel very lucky.
I can still write for this contest.
Although I live in a place some distance from the city, internet service is still fast so it can still play steemit

Yeah I am the lucky person.
Cause i will get the 15 SBD prize without doing nothing.

My answer is probably not going to be as good as anyone else's, but I am a simple guy so my answer will be simple as well.

I am a lucky person because:

  • I am alive
  • I live in a truly democratic country (Australia) where I am free to say and do almost anything I like
  • I have a beautiful wife who loves me for me
  • My wife and I had a beautiful healthy son with no complications or health issues, almost three years ago. A lot of people these days are finding it hard to have children, requiring IVF and other assistive procedures
  • I have a decent paying job and job security
  • I have a roof over my head and we own our own house (well a mortgage)
  • I have access to clean drinking water, a toilet, hot water to bathe in
  • I eat three meals a day; breakfast, lunch and dinner. I never have to worry about where my next meal is or if I am going to eat today
  • I am healthy and have no debilitating illnesses or disabilities
  • I can read and write because I was afford the privilege of being able to attend school
  • I have access to government subsidised healthcare and prescription medication. I can go see a doctor if I am sick and not have to pay anything.
  • I live in a safe area and can walk around day and night without fear of being assaulted or seriously hurt.

Sometimes luck is just acknowledging what you have, things that a large portion of the world have never had and wish they could have. I am lucky to be born in Australia and have what I have.

In our country namely Indonesia, especially Aceh province is one of steemit users very crowded. However I am very lucky to be able to contest your title.

Tnx for the chance to open up in the matter 😎
I think I'm a lucky person because of one main reason: I try to give as much as I can to help the ppl around me, and thus giving me a lot of good vibes and energy to my circle of life. My belief is that good things come to good ppl. Besides that my life prooves it, I'm most happy with all the thing that concern others, like personal economy, relationships, my profession work and educational level.

Yes am a lucky person especially here on steemit because i have been enjoying so much love from person i have never met before, their kindness, care and support are amazing.

Loading...

I'm a lucky person because I am here reading comments and joining the contest as well. Someone that managed to be here are all considered lucky because obviously we don't have poverty issue, no major health problems, nothing critical on us!! Therefore we are all lucky!!!

Don't you agree with me?

I'm lucky borne seven children and still alive.

I can't imagine myself how I do that, a 4 feet 11 inches small lady like me giving life for those beautiful human is a luckiest thing ever happened to me. My one foot is always in danger everytime my husband bring me to the hospital. Lucky me, coz' I still strong and alive until now.

Yes, I am a lucky person because I have a big happy family! I have 5 gorgeous girls and a loving husband! Despite all the challenges that we have encountered financial problems, death in the family(my mom just past away last year) we have conquered it all. My husband/partner now is my 2nd husband, he's the father of my youngest girl! For him to accept me and be the father my 4 other children is a wonderful blessing. He's my soul mate whom I've met at a perfect time that was set for both of us. We might not know how everything works in our lives but there is a certain bond that brought us together. I am lucky because I have felt that the universe gave me the other half of my soul in this lifetime! Thank you very much @nomad-magus for this awesome contest! :)

Use your youth, before your time comes. Use your spare time, before your time comes. Use your healthy life, before your illness comes. Make the most of your life, before your death. As a result, I judge myself is still including people who are losers. Indeed, human beings are in disadvantage, except those who take advantage of the above. They are the lucky ones.

Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 New International Version (NIV)
11 I have seen something else under the sun:

The race is not to the swift
or the battle to the strong,
nor does food come to the wise
or wealth to the brilliant
or favor to the learned;
but time and chance happen to them all.

12 Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come:

As fish are caught in a cruel net,
or birds are taken in a snare,
so people are trapped by evil times
that fall unexpectedly upon them.

Looking at the quote above, you will wonder if there is anything like good luck or bad luck.

I will like to so answer this by quoting Jeremiah 1:5 King James Version (KJV)
5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

I will end by saying I am lucky with God on my side.

yes.
I deserve a reward of 15 sbd from you.
because I need a lot of money to treat my child.
my child is seriously ill, and I have no money to cure my child.

hopefully my son is lucky.

Hi@nomad-magus I really think am so lucky in many ways

  1. Am God’s special possession, that I may declare the praises of him who called me out of darkness into his wonderful light. I accepted Jesus as my personal savior at a tender age we all think being born again is our own effort but it takes the grace of God. So am really lucky that God chose me out my family not because I have something special but because of his mercy and love
  2. I have a shoulder to lean on when things are getting tough because I know Jesus is really close to me, he guidances me on how to live my life and a friend
  3. am lucky because I always expect good things to happen to me all the time and am positive
    thanks @nomad-magus

I always thought that smart people could only be broken or defeated by luck. No matter how smart he is, if he is not lucky he will not get it.

In my life I had an accident while riding a motorcycle five times. I am lucky enough for this moment. Because it does not suffer serious injuries let alone broken or died. Until my friends always say you're lucky, do you spare life. 😁😁

In terms of education I am not a person but I always have a principle If I can not be a smart person then I must be a lucky. And this I can feel when in my grades class is not very good, but every test follow me often appear my name on the bulletin board that I graduated.

And the luckiest thing in my life, I joined the steemit platform and can follow the @nomad-magus contest. :)

"I am 33 years old and I have been trading seriously for over seven years, I study everything myself, read books, forums and master the innate analytics tools in the terminal, the most important is to understand the chart and make decisions quickly. is a show of determination, learning and experience.I prefer short-term trading and usually not too long to hold positions.I use Bollinger bands, moving averages, draw trend lines and channels.I am looking for a reputable broker, paying attention to offered trading conditions as well as spreads for the instruments I'm interested in.

Thank you for this great contest @nomad-magus
Are you a lucky person and why?
The answer:
Yes I am a lucky person.
There are several reasons I can say that I am a lucky person.
The reason is that as long as the sun is still rising, it still shines in the morning, it to me is a sign that it still has hope to survive.
And although I've failed a few times. But I still survive. Failing is not a reason to despair. As long as I live I will keep trying to survive. Trying and being grateful is the key to success

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Well, obviously I am a lucky person.

** I am lucky because I have seen how beautiful life is today, I have seen the sun today.
I am lucky that my parents are still here with me when I need them ,I am lucky that i have seen them while others don't even remember their face….i am lucky that i am not an orphan.
I am lucky that i have all my body parts working well …i can utilise them to earn my living not everyone is lucky like me.
I am lucky because I am living in a democratic country …i have my rights reserved while others. You know very well.

I am lucky that i have a partner who loves me so much and cares about me.
I am lucky that I am alive and strong enough to write this answer here.**
So yes I am lucky. Thank you

I'm I a lucky person? No.
Why? Well, people often say that life is unfair, but I'll counter that. Life is fair because it is unfair to everyone. Just like some will argue that often times I have made my way because I was at the right place with the right person at the right time. But isn't everyone given the same chance at some point in their life? I have made my mark on the sand, learned my lesson, did my homework, paid my dues and earned what I got. That's not luck, that's work.

yes .

I think, I deserve 15 sbd from you.
because I've made 1934 posts for 94 days.
I am a serious person in steemit.

Yes I'm lucky...!!!

  • Lucky in the sense that I choose to be successfully lucky.
    You know, one could also be lucky in the sense that he had bad luck.
    Life puts it as a choice before everyone.
    It's up to you.
    Choose your luck, life says! ! !
    @braveit

Why am I a lucky person?

I love my family more than anything.

They are the best.

We enjoy spending time together and laughing.

But few weeks ago, my mother was diagnosed with a tumour on her leg.

She had to go to a surgery to remove it... She was scared and we didn't hear her beatiful laugh.

It seems like the surgery was successful.

Any why do I consider myself the luckiest person?

Because I can see my mother laugh again.

Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this contest.
Luck is success or even failure brought by chance rather than personal effort. To understand our luck is firstly identifying where we have not made personal efforts. Then we outline whether we were successful or whether we failed at it. For me, I have been more successful than failing in my endeavors. Things tend to work out good for me despite my little or no effort.
Then I conclude, it can only be that I am a lucky chap!

YES , I am a luck man indeed. despite of having a hard times and financial problems I am happy that I live and breath and most specially God loves me making me a lucky and blessed man. Even though my father pass away last April 16, 2018 I am lucky to experience a father like him a father who had fulfill his responsibility even if he had a sick heart. I am very thankful to him so much thankful, And I am truly a lucky man. :)

For me, there is no such thing as being lucky.

Being lucky insinuates conicidences. Yet there are no coincidences. Everything happens for a reason, and comes along with a learning lesson for us.

Even more, as we feed our expectations we cloister ourselves away from miracles. Expectations rely on Knowingness. Miracles go beyond our Knowingness, being open for the unexpected and unknown without the pondering of past patterns. Exclusively seeing the limitless possibilities in each Now, disabusing our purported Knowingness by placidly trusting that the perfect epiphany will blossom just in the nick of Time. Going with the Universal flow without any attachment to Time gives us the golden opportunity to cultivate a splendidly fruitful friendship with our Unknowingness. Drawing our power from Unknowingness makes us to practitioners of our Intuition, the gradual development of which safely and soundly enhances our reconciliation with the feeling state of Beingness, Trust and Love, finally lending us the authentic and inherent feeling that miracles are all around at all times.

Once there, we realize that the Universe has always been conspiring beautiful things for us. It is only our thoughts which attempt to cajole us into thinking that the Universal flow is not perfect. The more we let our thoughts go the more are we able to eavesdrop the Universe's whispering guiding us to the right place in the right time, which indeed might be considered as "lucky", hence coincidental.

Once Steemit goes mainstream, many people will consider most of us Steemians as being lucky for having found this place before it went mainstream, yet in actuality the predominant number of people on Steemit are Souls which have been experiencing an expansion of their Awareness on their journey, and then were lead to Steemit just in the nick of time, as the Universe's voice became louder within us.

:)

yes.
I deserve a reward of 15 sbd from you.
because I am a new person in steemit.
i have not get sbd this much.
15 sbd is a very useful gift for me.

Thanks for sharing with us ♡

Yes, I do consider myself to be lucky, but I also believe that hard work and good luck are close allies

Soy una persona afotunada?... Si... A pesar de pasar calamidades en esta vida tengo algo que siempre me hace sentir afortunado y es la capacidad de hacer, enseñar y disfrutar la musica

Well I’m a lucky person and this I can explain and express in so many ways . But I’m gonna choose the main one I call the biggest luck this year and at all times

Answer

I’m lucky cause I’m alive

Explaination

This explanation is simple and almost everyone who’s alive today can do this I’m about to do . So see it’s not by my power that I don’t have accidents which kills so many every day, I’m not perfect to to get shot by thieves, tyrants or stray bullets. I’m not so special to be able to put food on my table daily while so many die of starvation every daily and yearly

I’m not upright or righteous enough to say all the diseases and outbreaks couldn’t attack me but I was lucky, i was lucky to have parents who didn’t abort me and that contributed to my being alive today.

You see everyday we live, we face a thousand ways to die but I wasn’t a special agent to have dodged all those thousand ways to die. A lot die in their sleep, while walking , eating, giving birth , at birth, after birth and a lot more ways than I can mention at this moment. I’m not any holier than those that are gone . But luck has kept me

I’m just a lucky man cause I’m alive today

I am lucky because I feel strong.
I am lucky because I am healthy.
I am lucky because I feel free.
I am lucky because I feel optimistic about the future.
I am lucky because I feel i have the power to change whatever I want to change.
I am lucky because even if I won't win the SBD prize or any other prize, I will still feel lucky.

hell yeah...i'm the luckiest person on earth for the fact that i am still alive today to see this wonderful contest setup by @nomad-magus. its honestly a very great privilege for me. I know no one would understand what I'm saying but that remains the fact. I been looking for so many ways to come into personal contact with this great writer of our new age but all my efforts seems to be fruitless and yeah and behold, i am giving this wonderful opportunity to write a comment right below his post. I hope I win this at the end.

"Our own luck"
There are people who usually say "you're so lucky"! Or, in our humility or to show gratitude when something good happens to us, we sometimes react by saying that we were lucky. But, mathematical probabilities and our blessings apart, to which we must always be grateful, it’s fair to say that luck implies work.
We make our own luck. It implies risking, getting outside the box, suffering, committing ourselves, leaving a track, being uncomfortable, seeking for something. To turn the stones out, if we have to. I order to be lucky, we always have, by definition, to get out of our comfort zone, to sweat our pants, to accommodate ourselves, to face solitude. To the point that, sometimes, when I go to sleep, I sometimes think of creepy things, like being literally and eternally alone in an eternal sleep if I die in my sleep ☺... things that don’t matter to anyone, but that we end up thinking about when we are TRULY alone... But I'm lucky.
Fortunate are those, for a start, who have friends that may help in bad times. Because luck implies work, but there are people who struggle with it, so we always find others who leave their comfort zone in order to seek it. Luck implies work. It has setbacks, it has bitter moments, it has the reverse of the medal. But it's a kind of fate and is even considered its synonym. Not the fate of the crystal ball, but the one that is inside us, the luck that is our calling, that we have to fulfill in order to be truly ourselves.

Yes. I am lucky. Because every day in my life is a new hope. As saying" Never forget those experiences what have gone away, but use those experiences as leaders in the future".
I am still steem on, and I am still move on.
Thank you very much.

I am unlucky because I didn't get what the lucky people got. Their looks, their wealth, their genius minds, and their wonderful wisdom. I didn't get that from my tree because my childhood world consisted of hate, drama, and negligent family practices. I am unlucky because the world tends to believe in the most valuable opinion based on who can give it the most upvotes. But I didn't give up on life. No matter how much unluckiness came my way, I felt the need to keep going. Because the more I failed, the more I couldn't be like the other lucky people, I became my own thing that I couldn't compare to anyone. I stopped looking into the mirror like it was multiscreen that showed me what I lacked and successful people had. I am me. And I can be unlucky. I can be so unlucky that life doesn't push me over when I lose. Then the doors opened. The doors for opportunity to make wonderful connections to both lucky and unlucky people. The passageway that lets me walk alongside with people regardless of their luck. This has made it all singular and true, that luck is a game played where the world is composed of winners and losers. Life comes with other games, and I prefer to play all of them for my real human experience to pass on to the next player.

When I was only four years old my father left me and my mother alone. My mother is a small payroll employee's next super shop, where the mother suffers a lot of hardship and gets a monthly salary with a little money. My mother admitted me to school and I occupied first place in the first annual exam. The mother used to work in a super shop and used to sit at night to teach me and I used to see that the mother was asleep, I could understand she was tired. The mother woke up at 5:10 am every morning and cooked for me and used to join super shop in the morning for six.I would wake up in the morning and go for school at 7:30 am, after eating the food. My school ended at 12:30 pm.Whenever I stood in front of the school gate, I could see that all their mothers were taking their hands to their house. It was very sad why my mother did not come to take me.When I returned home and found that my mother was not home, I felt very sad.When it was evening, I saw my mother come back home.At night the mother would give me food and she would have slept as she used to eat some food because she would have to join the super shop again in the morning.Now I study in a university and work in a big company, there is a large amount of salary every month from which my mother and my family's family leave very well and my mother is very happy now.Now mother does not have to go to work in that old super shop, now mother sits home every day for me and cooks delicious meals for me every day. I come every night to eat these meals with lots of fun.Mother and now I have passed 22 years without father, I've had a lot of hardships. Now we have a lot to remember about my father.Dad, wherever you are, be good I and my mother are good at God's end. If it is understood by this I am lucky then yes I am really fortunate!

Walking in the streets as a part of my daily life is making me observe how other people are. I mean, I am an introvert and I love observing people. Thinking "how are their walks of lives?" "Where will they go after they have gone here?" Stuff like that. And, I can't skip those little children begging money in the streets. I pity them. I wonder where their parents are. I wonder how life is for them. I wonder where they sleep and then, it make me realize,

"Yes, I am still lucky." :)

I am lucky I have my family who are always there to support me and striving hard to provide our needs. It may not be that much like the other people but, I am lucky that we can still eat 3 times everyday.


I am lucky we have a house. Though our house doesn't have walls. And yes, I am serious. Our house doesn't have walls. We only have walls in the rooms but in our living room, we don't have walls and we don't have doors, either. :D :) But still, I am lucky we have a place we call "Home" :)

I am lucky to have discovered Steemit. Currently, I am unemployed right now. I had a job in a call center for a year, I guess. But, I had to travel 6 hours away from home just to be able to do that and, it is on a graveyard shift. My dad is concerned about me because as what he say, I am getting thinner so, he wanted me to resign in the call center and go back home. And I did. Because I understand he is concerned with me. Right now, I am just applying to jobs out here. And luckily, while I haven't found a job yet, I have Steemit. :) At least, I can still have a little earning. :)

I am lucky to have God. He never fails to amaze me every single day. My parents doesn't have a job that pays 100,000 every month. My mom works at church and my dad is an electronic technician which have a very unstable salary. But, look where I am now. I am able to graduate a Bachelor's degree in Education. And I already passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers. :) And my sister is studying geology right now and she is already in her third year. And also, I have 3 more brothers who are also at school right now. If you will think of the salary that my parents are getting, to send 5 children to school is really not sufficient but God, always provides. :)

I am lucky I have found a boyfriend who is very supportive with me and loves me for who I am. When I look at my facebook, there are a lot of people posting about having nobody loving them or, people looking for Mr. Right. And I realized, I am still lucky! :) Though me and my boyfriend are thousands and thousands of miles apart, but still, love conquers no matter how long the distance may be. We are in a relationship for almost 2 years now but, believe me, we haven't seen each other in person yet. HAHA :D yes, because he is in Texas and I am from the Philippines. Though we may want to fly so we can see each other but, there are really things in life that no matter how bad you wanted it, you still have to work for it. My boyfriend's earning isn;t enough for us to meet sooner that is why, we are here on Steemit. This account is actually a joint account of me and him. :) Our way to also raise funds to be able to see each other. But despite all that, I am happy I found him. :) Even if we are very far from each other, I can feel his love so much. We are always together on Skype almost 24/7 :D So, I can always feel his presence and love. :) We are hoping one day, we will be able to see each other. :)


Well, there are a lot of things that i can say I am lucky about. But, while I am writing this, I think those aren't luck. We may think it is but, if you try to look at things in a different perspective, it is God's blessings. :) :)

Oh you have a contest. Hmmm let's see. I kind of don't believe in luck. We make our own luck by taking action on the things we can do.

What I believe is, if we give a lot, we receive more. If we give less or nothing, well what should we expect? 😂😂😂

So to answer your question based on that, I might not be so lucky.

But then again, if you factor in God's grace, I feel I am very lucky. Why? Because there are things/situations that come my way when I ask for them (or not) but sometimes I don't grab them if they are opportunities. I will just maybe be curious about it and then nothing. (Maybe I am making myself unlucky eh? 😂) If I really like it of course I will grab at the opportunity.

If you are referring to luck as like when you are part of office/work/party raffles and such, well I have never won any major raffle prize at all like a big TV, car or something. Only the little ones, most of the time nothing at all.

There was one time though, i was really feeling down but then I still had to go to work of course, when I got to the office they told me I won 5k from the raffle which was the major cash prize. How surprising is that? I only had one ticket entry out of the hundreds of entries. Haha, God is so good.

So I really don't know if I am lucky or not. I just live my life the way I do.

I'm lucky because I'm still interested in my life. And still suggest life as adventure)

I consider myself very lucky because almost 40 years ago I am in this world, I can breathe, walk and do everything I set my mind to do, and although life is not easy, I always hope, I consider myself fortunate because today I have a functional family I am happily married with @antonio189 for 17 years we have a beautiful daughter @yulita15.

We are together and struggling to learn each day more in a society hit harder, we are Venezuelans and it is not a secret that the terrible situation that crosses our beautiful country, we see people every day in terrible circumstances and often by their own choice, because I am one of the people who believe that only we can change our lives because I do not believe in destiny. Nothing is written. God lends us the gift of life and it depends on us the direction we give it. I hope I am lucky to be selected by you @nomad-magus I have been sincere and I will not invent a tragedy because by the mere fact of being alive we are already lucky.

No i am not a lucky person, because to be lucky means to have or become something by chance. Rather i am blessed person because i am beautifully, wonderfully and magnificently made by the God through which all good things comes from. And more over i have read althrough the Bibke i have never seen the word "lucky" before but the word "blessed" is a predominant word.

I really like with in the contest like this

Ok, so I'm rooting for insideoutlet, but I'll still enter because I am lucky. Some reasons--too many to list, some personal: 1) When I started school I couldn't read. Two years went by. I still couldn't read. When I graduated from high school I got a full scholarship to a great university. That's luck. 2) I was born really poor, grew up poor, but have lived a comfortable middle class life. 3)Most of all, I have a family and I am loved, truly loved. Wow, I am really, really, lucky.

Yes. I am lucky because i have a good job, a roof over my head, food in my stomach, and the love of a good woman. When there are others who don't even have the basics necessities of life.

Yes, I am a lucky person. Today I still get the same chance of breathing, yesterday and today is my lucky day because it is still endowed with real life. Still with a beloved family, even still with loved ones. What a very simple thing that I want until now, because I just want to be in the sphere of my closest people, spend a lot of time with them, tell a lot of things that maybe even the story is ridiculous, but why I am happy because with them I is the perfect person to feel happiness. And this is the greatest fortune of life.

No, I don't consider myself a lucky person but not because i believe i'm unlucky for being born in a disadvantaged position in such a bad country that Venezuela is, but because i don't believe in luck. I believe every single of event in our lives in mostly based on RNG, random chances, coincidences, there's no such thing as luck, just happy coincidences.

Believing in a thing like luck may lead you to believe you are unlucky, which in turn will make you put an emphasis in the negative things in your life, because "you are an unlucky person"

We make our on fates and no matter the situation you are placed in, born in or thrown into, with enough will power and work, you will get out of it.

So in short answer i don't believe in luck, i don't believe there's a fate for us but i believe in the power of human willpower, willpower can make us turn the worse situations into opportunities and make us shine, some people call it luck, I call it hard work and willpower.

I feel lucky, I act never feel arrogant and arrogant. Because, behind my success / luck, there is the prayer of a special woman, always granted by his god. Therefore, as a child, I never upset a mother. Therefore I also as a child must be devoted to parents, especially Mother. Because I know, the saying says heaven is in the soles of the mother's foot. Therefore, as a child I should try to respect my mother. mother is my luck

Yes!

I am an extremely lucky person. I am blessed with personal angels who guard me in extreme danger.

It happened about two months ago. I was traveling back from work on a Friday (about two and a half hours' drive), and about 10 km before I would have entered the city that I live in, Witbank, Mpumalanga, I developed a terrible migraine. I had no choice, I had to stop. Thing is, the place that I needed to stop was exceptionally dangerous. It was next to a "hijacking hotspot" and after dark. Now in South Africa, I am afraid it is a given that you will be robbed when you stop for any length of time next to the road.

So I stopped, and then I lost consciousness. And sure enough, while I am out cold, someone broke into my car and stole my handbag. So where is the luck then, you ask?

Well, the place that I had to stop, is renowned for horrific crimes. Not too long ago, a woman was stopped, amidst busy traffic, in the light of day, and dragged from her vehicle. She was kidnapped and raped repeatedly in the fields nearby. Her body was found a few days later. At the very same spot that I stopped.

So they only stole my handbag. My purse was lying outside my handbag because I had recently used it to pay toll fees. The robber did not take it. Also, my laptop was behind my seat. It was not taken.

Now normally passersby would not even look around in this area. In my case, however, someone saw the robbery taking place and phoned the local police. Unheard of...

The best of all: in South Africa, you are lucky if the police responds at all, let alone hurry to a scene of crime. However, the police was apparently on the scene within minutes. At that point I was more or less conscious, and I could only explain about the migraine. A kindly police officer helped me into the passenger seat of my car and drove me to the police station, where he phoned my husband to come and fetch me. Again, police in South Africa is not really well known for their kind acts. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Things could have gone so much worse.

Yes, I am lucky. I am lucky that I have God's Hand over me all the time.

I am a lucky person, because I can be able to follow this unique contest. I do not expect to be a champion, I just want to find great guys in steemit and make friends with them. Then I will learn how to succeed in steemit.

If I am a lucky person, of course you will give me a gift SBD. My question is, "If I'm not lucky, would you give me a SBD as proof of your generous big person?" (LOL, BUT SERIOUS)

I want to be your friend in steemit ...
