with different gifts and limitations. And by knowing and understanding our limitations, we will be able to embark on the path that will lead to success instead of obstacles.
One's Fate is determined at birth - impossible to be changed, or difficult to be modified. This is what one started out with. A person's birth chart is a manual for a new cellphone which gives you the specifications of the phone, the model, operating instructions etc. These default specifications are designed by the manufacturer. Our birthdate and time, our parents, our siblings etc. are examples of such defaults.
What can be changed - are our other aspects in life which are affected by Luck. What we have control over, and achievable with our efforts.
The western definition of 'luck' is not different from 'chance'.
The Chinese's concept of luck is similar to the orbit of planets - cyclical and predictable. An orbit is not a random movement and passes through space and time in a specific pattern. That makes it knowable.
And if we know the status of our luck, we can base our actions on how strong or weak it is at that time. Besides understanding our own strong points and weaknesses, we also need to realize our potential and limitations underneath our facades. Only then will we be able to move in the right direction effectively....
