May be the good fortune is none other than the culmination of a series of good events (wins). And so may be your good fortune is impeded by your tendencies to indulge in pleasure (or in Buddhist perspective to fall into the traps of greed, anger and foolishness).
Most virtuous success stories involve sacrifices which their narrator had made, they are people who are in sync with the universe. So why not you? You've discovered yourself that when you engage in activities that breaks the miracle in happening, you get displaced from the path of natural flow and recede to square one and then you're left to struggle with negative emotions for few days. To get back on track, you become regular at gym, challenge to attend Buddhist meetings, listen to spiritual and philosophical podcasts, like those of Sadhguru's, Jordan Peterson's and Academy Of Ideas'. With some struggle you get back on track and stay on it until the urges return. As soon as the urges get hold of you, what can be observed is that you don't make deliberate efforts to win over them, you've tendencies to give in easily.
Now you know and have observed from your own life that once a positive action is done, it gives way to cascading effect. One action leads to another.

And it is not only an emotional standstill, it inhibits psychological and spiritual growth too. Once disturbed, one has to rebuild that spiritual state of life.
So next time there is a strong urge to indulge in any wrong doing, remember to read this.
DON'T STOP CASCADING EFFECT. BE IN SYNC WITH THE UNIVERSAL FLOW.

Nonviolent civil disobedience throughout India was a wake-up call for British raj. It realised that once the conscience of 'enslaved' gets awakened, it cannot be thwarted for long. For today's society, 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley gives a great insight into how when your conscience finds its' voice, solace comes in seeking the answers to the questions that hitherto you were oblivious to. I personally feel that many wouldn't want to awaken their inner-voice, for many 'ignorance is bliss'. It would be cruel to subject an unprepared mind to existential realities, nature has its own ways of doing that. We as mortals should limit ourselves to our own search, not make it a personal agenda to awaken everyone, that would be equivalent to a tyrant/e...
