Luck -- Made, Inherited or a Depleting Resource?

I've always been quite the optimist. Sure, terrible things roll my way. Sparingly though, enough to give me hope, and actually enough to make me wonder when something awful is looming. A girl's gotta wonder, you know. How long can one make it before major disaster? How long before you fall down the stairs in a crowded restaurant? How long before you spill red wine on your snow-white cashmere sweater? How long before the ball is dropped on a major project? Before you fall in love with an incredibly handsome, impossibly tall, successful man, (who wears cute glasses to boot) and he dumps your ass -- just like that.
Don't you wonder? Does luck ever run out? Are some people naturally luckier than others. Does luck deplete like a natural resource? Can one just be lucky in some segments or facets of life -- and if so, can we will it to shift, just as money could in a bank account?

Wow you really write some interesting stuff. Really drawing me in here. So to put my 2 cents in this shindig, I think people make there own luck. People think luck comes by chance but I think making smart decesions with your gut and keeping a positive outlook on things, somethings are bound to seem like "maybe planet alignment might mean something afterall..." You can always feel lucky when you have the outlook that everyday could be the best day of your life because you never know what will happen. Who knew I would perchance read this fine blog? Luck? Meh who cares, who knows, roll with it I say.
