I feel the same. In my 20s I got it into my head I was going to go to grad school, no one thought I could do it but I had a fiery passion and in my heart I knew I could do it.
I seriously over shot my target so much that even I was shocked.
I think it is a little of both. I was going to make it happen but there were little things I couldn't possibly help and I feel like the universe was there for me.
For instance I studied as much as I should but I couldn't control how much other people studied. I feel like the universe pushed them to put the book down or go to the bar while I never did that.
During this time there were a zillion things that could have gone wrong but I feel like I was on a roll and as long as I believed in myself I could accomplish anything. With this idea in my head nothing did stop me for quite a while.
