What is luck?

What is luck? I am probably in the top .1 percentile of the luck spectrum but that includes bad luck as well as good. I have so much luck that I started a spreadsheet awhile ago to keep track of it all. The challenge in making entries is defining luck.

Last night driving home was a clear example of good luck. 93 to 95 south has a great decreasing radius cloverleaf that I try to go through cleanly, at speed. Last night, no cars in either lane (rare) so I want to take it fast, Waze was off for some reason, accelerating into the decrease looking left through turn and all of sudden I see a state trooper out of the corner of my right eye. I then looked at the trooper in the car, our eyes met. Continued through the turn, was doing mid-60s through it with the BMW, now with 264K miles on it, though whole suspension is new. Could not believe no lights. Drove home slowly.

I think the speed limit is 35 through the cloverleaf.

What is luck? Are you lucky?
