I don't think luck in this context is actually a thing that happens by chance but rather by actively finding and selecting the right choice presented to you at that time.

I've seen it with myself and many of my colleagues that the one big chance that you thought you simply can not let go was actually one of many chances that come along quite regularly but seem to be very tempting at first. In the sense that you feel like you have to take it or there will never be such a chance again. But to be honest, if you are doing a good job there is almost always a way to grow, and if there really isn't then it's time to switch.

Funny.. I have had multiple chances, like you said, and the ones I did not pick ended up doing very well and the ones that I did pick...did not!
