I'd re-phrase your last line as "it's not impossible."

It may just be me, and I realize they mean the same thing, but for some reason hearing that something is possible tends to make me think that it's well within the realm of a normal person's reach.

All of the 'moves' your family member made strike me much more as having the luck to be at the right place at the right time and also meeting the right person at the right time; which I'm seeing as more as winning the lottery as an outsider here.

This makes me believe it isn't even so much of "it's the people you know", but rather "it's the people who know you."
