Could be just good vibrations.
Fate. Destiny. Karma. Divine Rule. Chance.

Then again . . . can we make our own 'luck'?
Now we can explain this ('scientifically' ) as just a coincidence.
Or just a 'random event'.
Both explanations can be easily accepted as 'reasonable'.
Or is it that faith not only moves mountains but can be profitable?
Or that she managed to collapse that wave probability with what A Course In Miracles would call the 'Holy Instant'?
Bolded mine.
And I am at a disadvantage, then; I'm doing my best to understand this phenomenon of a concept that doesn't (or logically shouldn't) exist, and yet the label is applied to many circumstances. if 'Luck' doesn't exist - then 'lucky' shouldn't.
You say that your answer depends on the definition of luck. I wholeheartedly agree. That is what we are trying to do here. Define the ineffable. 'Forces of Luck' you say . . . that is infinitly interesting. If such 'forces' exist, how do we harness their power towards a favourable outcome?
AFAIK - everything has a frequency. So can the atoms of this so called luck, when converted to energy, be coerced to radiate fortune? A rabbit's foot may work for some. Others have a locket of their loved one's hair around their necks. And still others fight over whether 13 is lucky or not. (Maybe fortunate for me, since it synchronistically seems to crop up at 'fortunate' moments)
This is an excellent show about luck and how it is perceived. Definitely worth a watch.
