Being luck-centric makes you lazy; instead, being change-centric is true to life.

The secret of life is curiosity, consistency, courage, confidence, and being prepared to meet the unexpected.

Let me start to elaborate on my views on fate with a quote from Thomas Jefferson:
"I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have."
To me, it is well said. As I take it, your actions have determined who you are at this time. This equation is valid for the days ahead, with some exceptions for not getting what you choose for deep reasons that usually come to light as the years pass by.
To specify, I am not echoing fate from angles of faith or philosophy but simply from lessons in actual happenings. 
There is no place on this globe where everything glitters infinitely for you and them. You just bring fate into the picture when something starts baffling. 
Once I conclude that it is my luck, it amounts to the full stop of life.
"This is what I have been made to have" is the voice of all luck-centric folks. 
They never question their efforts. They hesitate to share real stories, particularly bad ones. They are reluctant to modify their approaches. They believe all this happens accidentally. They accept defeat before trying. They never rise after falling.
Falling is a chance, but not rising thereafter is a choice. Falling is to regain strength and to attempt with greater force. 
Fate-minded people hugely resist change of any sort. 
When there is no change, you lose control and focus on how you are in control of others. Here, fate gets wide space to dominate. 
When you are always engaged in knowing happenings outward, you have no time to look inward for change. You stay with the word "fate or fortune," keeping all your weaknesses wrapped up. 
Life gets signals from the universe to rise and be tough to deal with the odds. You are not working on signals because the theme "luck" keeps you in the mode of inaction. 
Happiness is not a prime factor in making you lucky. Happiness is for hours, and you are again on the next episode. It is only action that will elevate or transform you and bring you to a higher rung of luck. 
Experiences tell us that fate is also dynamic, not a frozen status. 
You have been empowered to transform and retransform yourselves, and you have not been made to have a rhythm of luck. 
A higher and higher rung of luck is termed growth. Growth happens incrementally and normally slowly. 
Spending time with nature is a tool to comprehend how growth happens. Looking at the opening of flowers shows a lot of how careful nature is for all that has been created. 
Reading every day about life has not only the power to change perceptions but also influences your thinking about fate. In addition, we conquer fears remarkably well when we read regularly. 
"Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand, so that we may fear less." Marie Curie 
Fears force you to take shelter in the orbit of luck when you have nothing but fears. 
 
People love to talk about problems, setbacks, injustices, disruptions, and disadvantages, knowing that they are also participants in all messy conditions, directly or indirectly. Here they are, in the grip of fear, and find themselves blaming outer forces. 
Fear and fate are two sides of a coin. Work on what scares you and see how fate loses its significance. 
Anyone can transform. 
Success and failure are lights marking in which direction to go. Taking these lights as the final event stuck one to accepting it as luck. You need to reprogram your mind, which keeps you energized to go far and too far.

Keys to life:

Let us be fact-based.

Live life to the fullest.

Invent destiny. Keep questioning yourself.

Change is a must. And change from the inside, not only in appearance.

Do not judge your actions through external validations.

Keep away from fate-centric groups.

Life is the sum of events, pleasant or unpleasant. Unpleasant moments awaken you to action.

It is not fate but the essence of forwardness that works for wellness.

It is not a time to stay with luck but a right moment to create new stories.
