People do make their own luck though.
And like does attract like in the bigger picture, although some people are sometimes into opposites (so that each opposite point of view gets tested out to its full limits).

I dont think you can claim total bullshit or total fact, there's too much to it all even to just categorize it as positive and negative. Mindset works.

Its more about tweeking your mind up so that your expectations meets the endless possibilities that arise so that you are in the right frame of mind and place at the right time and you are not stuck in an old thought pattern that would have you not recognize your glass is still half full and not just half empty.
