Everyone needs a little bit of luck in order to feel more positive about stressful things. I think that luck isn't something that you need, you already have a little bit with you whether you know it or not. That's the most extraordinary thing about it...it's secretive and hidden until the moment that you need it; although, it sometimes seems like we get luck in moments where we least need it. At other times, it's reverse luck: karma.

Karma is a funny thing, yet it's only funny in one direction. We wish all the bad luck on those that we dislike the most, hoping that one day luck won't be in their favor...then we go to so many precautions to preserve our luck. Maybe it's just superstitious of us to hold horse-shoes upright, step over the cracks in the sidewalk, and walk around ladders instead of under them. We all try so hard to keep luck on our side, hoping that someday it will come in handy when we need it the most; yet that's hardly ever the case. Instead, luck is something that just makes you feel more confident about life in general so you have less fear. That's the true beauty of it's "magic."
