Finding four-leafed clovers

Aside from drinking Guinness and pinching those who don't wear green, something I've always associated with St. Patrick's Day is luck. It's sometimes difficult for me to accept the idea of luck. Much like with the concept of fate, it is uncomfortable to think that my ability to influence my own life is limited. Regardless, it is indisputable that the world can be unpredictable. What is important is how one chooses to react to this broad range of situations. I feel that if you're able to find something redeeming about both big breaks and unfortunate turns alike, bad luck loses some of its power. And when something unexpectedly great happens, all the better.
