Both can be true depending on the context tbh. Circumstances at birth determine a lot in a person's life that cant be changed or makes certain things near impossible to achieve by mere willpower or hard work, luck is a big factor. People generally settle and work hard to improve the reality they have to live, because they are conditioned to believe those area the "dreams" or the lifestyle they should be chasing.

In my personal case I can say I have the job I have out of luck for being born in the family I have, but what I have done with that job and what I have achieved is due to my own hard work.
