I carry a buckeye that has been handed down for 3 generations. It is in my left pocket every day. I was curious if anyone else carries anything

I carry my daily Cash 3 tickets.. they make me feel lucky.
No, there is no such thing as luck. But if carrying the object makes you comfortable, have a happy.
No, but I am going to follow this thread like a blond in short shorts, because I am fascinated in this type of stuff, people's beliefs, superstitions and such. 
Mine is more a family tradition than luck. If I carried it for luck I would have thrown it out a long time ago lol
Slightly different than for luck . But I wear my Grandfathers watch everyday.
I've never had much luck so perhaps I should find a talisman of some kind that is pre imbued with said luck.

I don’t carry anything for luck but I have behavior patterns that continue to pay off.
I get up in the morning ready to lace my boots up and get my sorry ass ready to work hard.
I’m simple that way.

I have a minor tendency to wonder if this is a lucky color or that is a lucky pair of shoes, so I avoid carrying any good luck pieces. I'd get weighed down with all the symbolism and forget to mind my business. I do have little rituals to keep track of things, keeping things in specific pockets, and putting things in specific places so they don't get lost. I have a bit of superstition about getting up; I'm not an early-early riser, but I feel uncomfortable if I sleep too late without some reason -- late hours the night before, a cold, etc. As Ben Franklin said: "He who riseth late must trot all day." Trot, the perfect word. I believe in "luck," as in ones good fortune or lack thereof. But I think choices are more important, as is work and struggle. I'm intrigued by sports fans who get deeply into evocation of luck, wearing their lucky shirt to watch a game and following certain rituals, this longing for more agency and control in things beyond our reach.

They take advantage of the disadvantaged.
Once you get people in a vicious cycle its hard to break
Really it’s sad. It’s a way for the state to rip money away from those who don’t have it anyways, rather than getting it from the most enriched portions of society.
in complete straight up honesty. Yes my pipe. I completely and fully believe that it is harder for anything bad to happen when one has a pipe especially if they're smoking it.
While there is no such thing as luck I will paraphrase my particular belief "fortune favors the prepared" and I always carry my Leatherman Skeletool:
In a sense you can "make your own luck" by being prepared.
I hate going places where I'm not allowed to carry it.

I guess since we're not talking about magical cosmic luck things, I would have a pretty rotten day if I was out and about without my truck keys... or my cell phone... or the pipe that I just had in my mouth.
Some people confuse “odds” with luck, they are two different things.
My favorite take on luck is this quote that has been attributed to Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Goldwyn and several others:
"I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."
or sometimes more simply:
"The harder I work, the luckier I get."
