You said it. And it really, REALLY sounds like you believe in pre-determinism. Because the way you framed the below quote was that the person who caught a stray would have caught that stray regardless of anything. There is no changing what would have happened.
>Can you give some examples about what scenarios would lead to your desired outcome depending on your belief.
It's not about scenarios. It's about your perspective, and how you have influence over any scenario in which you take a part.

The perspective you take determines the situations you will find yourself in, and how you will behave within those given situations.
As an example, a person who has a victim mentality will find themselves in situations where they are the victim. And to them, it will appear as if they just have bad luck and things are random.
But they're the one creating that with their own perspective of themselves and the world around them.
