Does being lucky have anything to do with being an INFJ? or it's just me?

There's a Zen story that sums up my idea of luck:

Once upon the time there was an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbours came to visit. “Such bad luck,” they said sympathetically.

“Maybe,” the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. “How wonderful,” the neighbours exclaimed.

“Maybe,” replied the old man.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbours again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune.

“Maybe,” answered the farmer.

The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son’s leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbours congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out.

“Maybe,” said the farmer.

Like a Gypsy "I have been lucky in love, but not lucky in money", agree very much what Jocobi has mentioned.

I think it has more to do with your positive attitude and likeable face. Congratulations, you win at life

Have no idea if it has anything to do with INFJ, but If it ain't broke don't try to fix it. Just enjoy it :becky:

I'm going to go with the Branch Rickey thing: "Luck is the residue of design."

Most people fail to notice cool stuff in their lives.

I don't think this has to do inherently with being an INFJ, however, I have also felt the same as you, even to the point of having the sneaking suspicion that my luck will "run out." It seems pretty ridiculous when I think about it, but I just wanted to let you know there's someone in the same boat

If it has anything to do with being an INFJ, perhaps it's our strong intuitions. This lends itself to a lot of critical elements of my life that could be looked at as luck.For one thing, I have a good sense of people and can read people quickly, giving me the appearance of being "lucky" to have healthy and positive relationships. Same with larger-scale life decisions and minutia. This is from personalitypage.com: "They know things intuitively, without being able to pinpoint why, and without detailed knowledge of the subject at hand. They are usually right, and they usually know it. Consequently, INFJs put a tremendous amount of faith into their instincts and intuitions." I think some of what you're experiencing could be because of this, even if you may not be aware of your use of intuition.

It's probably just you.
And people with good karma.
Sounds like you have good karma

I don't believe there is such a thing as a reoccuring "luck" in that sense. Especially not "luck" assigned to a certain group of people regardless of their mindset.
If you are open for good things to come for you, they will. Same for the opposite. I'd like to call it something like "mental karma", if anything If you go around the world focusing on how unfair life is and how much you are forced to suffer by the force of random events, you'll most likely be too busy to be noticing opportunities and the good things, as well as making people keep a reluctant distance from your negative radiation. Same for the opposite.
