Luck

Does luck exist? I'm debating whether or not it does. Do things happen in one way or another for someone's benefit or misfortune, or are they all preplanned events, or can anyone get lucky at random?

In some ways I lean toward the belief that luck does exist. I consider myself lucky to be the way I am. I would be better off if I was 100% normal, but since that won't change I consider myself quite lucky by comparison. In other words, it was my stroke of good fortune! (I've kept my day job after that one)

At the same time, though, I doubt my own theory about luck once I consider the people with severe CP. Was it just their luck that they happen to be the way they are, or was having CP or any disease/disorder part of some kind of plan (I like to think that someone up there isn't conspiring against them). Is my Cerebral Palsy, let alone how mild it is, just a random circumstance?

What if everyone has a personal plan? Is it okay to mess with it? It must be, because as far as I know my plan is a mystery, if there is such a thing at all. I guess faith is the key word here. Maybe the "plan" isn't exactly that, but rather an introduction followed by a blank outline, like preparing to write an essay. Maybe each person is set to begin their life in their individual and unique situation, whatever it may be, then from there they are on their own. That would support free will. Does God intervene at all? The questions are endless...

There must be an answer. However, I think that it is not something that human beings are meant to comprehend because thinking about it is so overwhelming. Again, faith is the only answer I can come up with. God is good.
