I think if you are responsible and plan for the important things, you appear luckier, but some of that is because you were responsible and planned and "most" of the time, that makes life go smoother.
Then there are things, like having an empty seat both ways on a flight, that are just plain luck of the draw, unless you paid for both seats ! 😂
Sometimes good things happen, planned or unplanned.
Yep, I agree completely, luck is a thing and it's good sometimes, or bad, but through applying some effort one can usually secure better results than sitting back and doing nothing at all right?
