 Many stations and airports are unpleasant places. Even if they are reasonably clean and well looked after, they have a soullessness about them. They belong to nobody. They are not attractive places to visit. Why then, do we ever go to them? Because of where they can take us to, of course.
Don't ask whether you are lucky or unlucky. Sometimes a voice of caution prevents us from pursuing an essential impulse. If any of us really knew where luck was sure to come from, we could enjoy endless success. But we can, at least, identify the ideas least likely to be wise... or lucky. All you need in your emotional life, is discrimination. The luck you need, you already have. Some people can see far into the distance with clarity - but find it hard to focus on a book just a couple of feet from their face.
