charmed life
Fate's favorite path
A charmed life is one seemingly protected from harm or misfortune, as if by magic.
Someone who survives dangerous situations unscathed or enjoys extraordinary luck is said to lead a charmed life: He's crashed three motorcycles and walked away every time—the man leads a charmed life.
The phrase suggests fate or supernatural favor rather than skill.
