Good Luck, Something everyone has heard of, but not everyone believes in. Who would believe in something that magically comes up and makes you good at things like an artist getting a muse, its weird to think about it. Like a fairy godmother giving you the strength to get better at something. That’s basically luck. Good luck is an expression saying I hope you are great at what you are doing. Does luck really exist?
