I don't think outside the box, I don't think there is a box.
Luck is not what gets you the acting gigs, your talent does, but luck
gets you the opportunity to audition for the acting gig. Once you get
in that casting room your luck has run out and all that you're left
with is your talent to rely on.
A true artist could and should create till the day they die. You don't ever fail as an artist until you quit being an artist.
