Lucky Situations - The Equation

The last post pointed us in the direction that luck is not really good or bad, it is the outcome which we can impact that can be more good then bad. Calling someone Lucky or unlucky is not truly accurate, it can only be applied to situations in a person's life. So how do we use luck to get a good outcome rather then a bad one. I think luck can be used in each situation differently and is only one multiple in the equation. If we assume for now that luck is a constant value or number which is impacted by the person and the situation itself. I think the equation at first glance is

"(person + situation)Luck = Outcome"

The determination of someone is lucky is only by looking at the outcome and applying judgement based on our own definition of what would be a good outcome versus a bad outcome. It is interesting to think of luck as a constant. It would mean there is nothing we can do to change the impact of luck. If you think of all the things people due to increase their luck, when maybe luck never increases or decreases it is a constant in our lives. That means the other variables must be the ones that people knowingly or unknowingly change to get a positive or negative outcome from a situation. It would almost make luck a non factor in many situations. The right person in the right situation must achieve the right outcome if luck is constant. But we have all seen the most likely winner lose or the favourite lose the game. How does that happen? I think we will need to look at this equation in more detail. Maybe the equation will change through our discussion or it will remain the same and we will look the other parts of the equation which may answer some of the questions.
By reading this blog maybe you are changing the equation for you or at least thinking about is which I think is a good thing. Take care and may luck be in your control and the outcome be one that you desire.
