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. One positive reinforcement motivates you for another such experience. But once the process reaches a bumpy road, any temptations or ignorance that obstruct the free-flow, you're left to struggle with the guilt-trip. 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.

Words came easy to me once when describing any piece of art, literature, or music that moved me. I used to find my innocence when I found stories that were so beautifully unreal that they seemed divine. But lately, love stories appeared cornier and cornier and the stories became so predictable that even if I watch a love story (which I generally avoid), it fails to move me. Today, after watching the late-night show of Sita-Ramam, I feel I have found that old believer in me. I am glad he is still there, believing in the idea of magical love. This film was so complete in experience that it will remain with me. Sita-Ramam is...
