Just my luck...

Honestly, I’m struggling with the feeling that I just have zero luck in life.
I always dream about hitting it big on a lottery ticket. I played for a couple of months, but I eventually quit because I actually save more money when I don't play. Then I tried poker for two days. No luck there either, so I stopped. I even gave roulette a shot a few times with some small change, but nothing happened. Even when it comes to romance, it's a total bust, despite a few brief flings here and there.
The only thing I have going for me is my job, but I really don't want to spend my entire life working for someone else. Why does the universe feel like it's against me? What am I supposed to do?
If you said this at a bar or a local diner, people would think you were just having a momentary breakdown. We all get caught up in those fantasies sometimes.
I'm not telling you to stop dreaming, but listen to this...
For example, I've been putting off paying my bills for a week now because I'm broke and have to borrow money. I have nowhere else to turn, so I end up going into debt again.
In the meantime, I'll run down to a gas station or a convenience store and play some random small bets, hoping to win enough $167 to cover my bills.
It feels pathetic, but that's just how it is.
Even if I win that $167, I'll still be short $5,000 tomorrow. I'm short on cash today too, but I can't just sit around claiming I'm unlucky.
It's more than that...
You know that CIA saying; Mission Impossible.
That's where it starts.
To make things change, you have to provoke them.
Don't wait for luck to arrive. It will come.
Luck doesn't work without one key ingredient: surprise.
It arrives when you least expect it.
