The Opposite of Luck Is . . .
Posted from Royal Oak, Michigan--
When I was in the music business many years ago, I got in the habit of thinking in "song titles." A good song title is a memorable and provocative word or combination of words that somehow triggers a deeper meaning.
This skill comes in quite handy today as I now make a living thinking of and marketing titles for my audio programs and books.
"The Opposite of Luck" sounds like it could be a song title or lyric, but I'm even more intrigued by the question, "What is the opposite of luck?"
Feel free to post your answer and I'll weigh in later.
Funny, Angie! Makes me wonder . . . if luck is perceived, then one must be able to decide if one is lucky. Thanks for posting!

Thanks, John. Pre-destination is a very creative answer. You've got me thinking . . .

Hi Michael. I love your blogs! I had to respond to this one! I believe that we are able to create our own luck. "Luck" can essentially be defined as the time when preperation and opportunity meet. Therefore, the opposite of luck would be "unprepared."
I am lucky!! Angie Maher

Hey Michael, sorry I hit send too fast, the opposite of luck in my opinion is predestination, not predetermination. My bad. Hope you're doing well in life.

Hey Michael, I'm still enjoying your blog. I'd have to say the opposite of luck is predetermination. I know for sure it's bad luck because that's still a form of luck, isn't it?
