Here is an article about the difference between karma and luck.
https://medium.com/@garyvee/karma-is-not-luck-81adf3956f37
I think if you want to see how karma works in action, you have to notice
your environment more and make the connections.
Speaking about luck then, even when you don't know the connection behind
it, there is one.
So seeing karma is about how far you want to look and what is reasonable
for you.

Thank you for good article.
Before I didn't value karma very much, but reading more and more about it and actually opening my eyes made me realize
there might be something in it.
It's tempting to see most things don't happen because of luck but because what I did.
But in the other hand, is it possible that you see the connections just because you want to see them?
Human mind is interesting.
I'm still bit of between.   _________________ "Having 2 ears and one tongue means we should listen twice as much as we speak."

Good question, Ville-Pekka. I think there is a chance for that. People tend to see what they are
ready to see, and what they are looking for (consciously or not).
For me, I look for connections that have are meaningful for me. The more I look, the more I see.
I think it does not matter if some of them are false alarms, because some of them are not.
You might find this article interesting as well:

Someone said "the more I do the more luck I experience"
Also, we live in a world of cause and effect, so everything we have / do not have is a result of our intentions and actions.   _________________ Вячеслав Мащенко   |

Well, the more you do, the more everything you experience, and luck is part of that.
Maybe it is one of those things that once you practice a skill in a very intensive schedule, the more that skill seems to have been there all the time or because of luck.   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee

By my previous comment I meant that there is no such thing as 'luck'. It's said by people who lazy to work and build their life and who are jealous about other person achievements.   _________________ Вячеслав Мащенко   |

I agree. But maybe people are ignorant rather than lazy or jealous?   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee

Thank you for asking, vmashchenko. Sometimes people have a set of beliefs that restrict them from going forward. Some do just not believe that they can chance their behaviour or way of being.   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee

Цитата: | Sometimes people have a set of beliefs that restrict them from going forward |
I would say NOT sometimes, but always!
And it seems the personal growth is a constant process of getting rid of limiting beliefs!   _________________ Вячеслав Мащенко   |

Of course it can be determined more complex, maybe scientific.
But one phrase I try to remember always. Tony Robbins: Complexity is enemy of execution.
Strongly recommend this guy! He is very cool. I was twice on his live seminars.   _________________ Вячеслав Мащенко   |

Thank you for the recommendation, vmashchenko. I am currently reading Mr Robbins book "Awaken the Giant Within." Great stuff there also!
And indeed, the more concretely steps are defined, the surer you can take them.
But hey, since we have this conversation about luck, let's define what luck means for each of us.
For me, luck is the combination of good things in life that have been given to me without me doing anything (in this life). I have great parents, a splendid hometown near nature and many great childhood friends. I feel very lucky to have so much love in my life   _________________ "As you think, so shall you become." - Bruce Lee

Luck to me means something good that's not in anyway in my hands. Great and supportive parents. Home with so much love in it, good friends that have stick with me for so long and the opportunities I have had. Though, I wouldn't necessarily call that luck.
I'm also reading Mr. Robbins and the chapter on decision making was very teaching. Looking forward to read more very soon.   _________________ "Having 2 ears and one tongue means we should listen twice as much as we speak."
