Why is breaking glass good luck?

Breaking glass is not good luck- it is bad luck. If you have bad luck coming your way, breaking glass will, according to superstition, eliminate it. Breaking glass, without any (bad luck) precursor, will supposedly manifest itself in only bad luck. Speaking in more detail, according to superstition, when one has bad luck coming his or her way, breaking a mirror works as a shield to bad luck. A mirror is a reflective device. When one breaks a mirror, it will reflect the bad luck of a broken mirror. But, when already in the presence of bad luck, it reflects the bad luck in the bad-luck dimension. Bad luck in the bad luck dimension is good luck, which we all obstinately have.

Just broke a mirror is there anyway of not getting bad luck?

The superstition of bad luck is based on an idea called "confirmation bias." Because you're paying attention to your fear of bad things happening, that's all you notice. You can also choose to pay attention to all of the good things happening, and you'll suddenly realize that you have good luck. Everything, good luck and bad, is an opportunity to learn. In the case of a broken mirror, it's probably better to learn how to be careful with something breakable than it to worry about the bad luck that results.
