You make your own luck.

You get lucky this time because of something you already did, something you didn’t do as preparation, but as exploration. Luck is not the result of trying to get lucky; it is the result of being busy, productive, energetic. The more you do, the more opportunities you will find, be able to recognise, or be well suited to.

If there’s something you want to do, do it. By doing it, you increase your “surface area of luck”, as Paul Graham says. The idea I most loved discovering was James Austin’s four types of luck, which is all about increasing the surface area of your luck.
