I feel like this "luck" thing is all in your head. It's all attitude, how you feel, how you view the world ...positivity..etc.
i started doing a morning routine when i started working again. early in the mornings i started doing a quick 15min (5 set) work out, daily. I would do it in the morning after my glass of water. Doing it fasted. It's like a shock to the body, a feel good, makes me feel like i accomplished a chore that 80% of the people in this world won't do.
I don't eat breakfast, and just down a black coffee 30mins after the light work out. I'm ramped, full of positivity, confident - cause i feel like a sexy bitch, and hyper.
If i don't work out, i feel like i'm slow and sluggish throughout the day and things just don't go my way.
So it could be all in my head.
that's a wicked way to start your day and it seems to be working for you but your post sounds like fucking one of those Pinterest/IG fitspo lol

A few of my close friends are similar to this (positivity) etc and it seems to me it's always just another phase of riding a peak until shit goes down and they enter depression.
I am a net positive person and have a very consistent outlook/mood without the phases regardless if I am in a rut or riding a peak, I'd like to think my outlook is realistic and I personally don't like overly positive thinking and all that bullshit you see people preach on TV, it only reminds me of people lying to themselves. On the flip side there is nothing worse than a negative Nancy with their doom and gloom outlook on life.
Regarding luck, I bet if you were asked about it when you were looking for that first opportunity you would've said that it plays a big role (because it does). I am probably the last person to admit that luck has played any role in my life because I've worked like a fucking dog since coming to this country and dealing with all kinds of bad shit over the past two decades..regardless some luck you can influence, some you can't. The more shit you throw at the wall the higher the chance it will stick (w/ luck). The frequency of your throws is you increasing your probability of luck. So yes you can influence it, but some is still up to chance.

The more you throw, means the harder you work. The harder you work, the bigger the chance of it sticking, thus the luckier you get. Goes back to hard work brings luck. SO what is luck?
I do read a lot of Instagram quotes, don't get it twisted, i'm a realist - and can get negative. A good friend taught me to look at every single thing you view as negative and turn it into an opportunity.
The more i do this, the quicker i can convert a "negative issue, thing, person, event, etc" into an opportunity - without losing my cool and staying in control of my emotions.
In fact it's my director who does this pretty damn good. You're not tricking yourself, you are simply viewing it in a different perspective.
One huge negative event i run into twice a way is the commute home, i have to subway it. I never believed in audiobooks till one day buddy suggested it. Best creation ever! Now i look forward to listen to my shiznit on the subway.
It takes practice but if you view all negative stuff into opportunity, life gets brighter.
