Luck Vs Blessing

How do we respond on good things that came to us?
was it "wow, what a luck"?
Then how do we respond to bad things happened to us or when we don't do well?
If we always consider good things that happened to us as "luck'', most probably we will consider the bad thing as the opposite of luck.
Then the possible respond of that bad thing might be "what a curse?", "such a bad day", "that was bad luck'' or anything negative as the opposite of the positive outcomes. Are they sound constructing to us?
When we think that its a curse that came to us, what are the possibilities we will going to do? because a curse sounds so permanent, the most possible thing we are about to do is to accept the fact and deal to hold it on. With the pain, with the guilt, with the disappointment or anything.
All the negative respond above slower our process to rise up. Because our primary focus is "acceptance"only.

When we think we are lucky, it will sounds like everything that we achieve or gain is from ourselves, because of us good on this or that, known by....., loved by....., or anything I I I , Me Me Me....
Then when we failed we will either blame ourselves back, or blame people or even the situation. In fact that will help us nothing but bonding us with revenge, deep grievance, low self esteem, or bitterness.

In the other hand if we expand our heart and mind to find everything that come to us as a blessing, it is possible for us to take things when we didn't do well as a blessing too instead of nonconstructive responds. The blessing that we received is not because of who we are or what we do but simply God's grace.
God will never harm us, His purpose in our life is always good. always.....

When we failed it is actually a learning process for us.
There must be good reasons behind it.
There must be something greater revealed in the right time and in the right place.

To take failure as a blessing is to acknowledge failure as a stepping stone, a new lesson for us to learnt and for us to be a better person or for us to be use more by God.
Instead of revenge, bitterness, long last sorrow or anything caused by false respond to failure, we will experience new things for us to enhance our knowledge on certain things and enhance our capacity to be a better person to be used more by God and to do more for people.
