People will call it luck. They weren’t there for the part where you took the risk nobody else would.

Observers see outcomes and almost never see the decision that produced them. They were not there for the version where it could have gone badly, so the result arrives in their view without its cost attached. Being called lucky is often just a sign that your risk was invisible from outside.

Do not spend energy correcting the record, since the people who matter usually know. Spend it instead on remembering which risks actually paid, because that is information you can use again. Keep a quiet note of the calls you made and how they turned out.
