Luck can open an opportunity, but it cannot guarantee you know what to do with it.

Doors open more often than people notice, and most of them close again unused. An opening is only raw material. What you do inside it depends on skill you built earlier, on whether you recognise it in time, and on whether you have the room to say yes when it arrives.

The useful work happens before the opening, not during it. Ask what you would need in place to accept a good chance next month without scrambling. Some slack in your schedule, one skill sharpened, a savings buffer. Prepare the answer while nothing is happening.
