This is something I think about all the time—am I making things happen, or is it just luck? Different cultures seem to answer that question in totally different ways. That’s why I really appreciated an article https://boroktimes.com/money-and-luck-the-psychology-of-risk-taking-in-different-cultures/ I read recently: Money and Luck: The Psychology of Risk-Taking in Different Cultures. It talks about how in some places, luck is treated like a force you can align yourself with, while in others, it’s seen as totally out of your control. That really influences whether people take risks or play it safe. For me, it offered a fresh perspective on why some people seem to “believe” in luck more than others. It’s definitely a valuable read if you’re interested in how different worldviews shape behavior.
How Much Is Luck?

That’s an angle I never really considered. I just assumed my cautiousness with money was a personal trait, but maybe it really is cultural. Definitely going to think about that more.
