ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) โ March 17 is Saint Patrickโs Day, but luck isnโt just for the Irish. While over 50 percent of Americans donโt believe in bad luck superstitions like breaking a mirror or spilling salt, many people still attribute opportunities and accomplishments to having good luck. From horseshoes to four leaf clovers, to a penny face up on the sidewalk, everybody has their own idea of a good luck charm. Experts say that unexpected, โluckyโ actions tend to come from our subconscious, a phenomenon called pre-emptive perception. So, whether you call it luck, intuition, or just a good guess if it feels right, do it.
