Luck can be increased with frequency. The more often you put yourself out there, the greater the chance the right people/time/moods will align.

I believe that I should knock on all doors, be overjoyed at those that open, but not be crushed by those that don't. I knock on ALL doors to take my luck and turn it into opportunity.
