The Lottery-Brown

I'd say that i make a lot of sacrifices in hopes of finding good luck on a pretty regular basis. It's hard for me to think about why I may do this, because I don't see myself as a person with an external locus of control, but maybe I am. For example, when I'm snowboarding and I land a trick, I sacrifice trying a new trick because I feel like sticking to that same newly learned trick in hopes of it keeping me from falling for the rest of the day. But it's not only when i am snowboarding, if i go to the mac lab here at school, and find a computer that works good for me one time; I'll try my best to go and use that same computer every time I'm down there. I'm aware that most likely that computer isn't the best, in fact it may even be the farthest away from the printer, but since it worked good for me once, i sacrifice being close to the printer in order to use that computer. I think that even if you don't believe in external forces having control over your actions, you still are willing to make sacrifices in hopes of finding good luck.
