“Regardless of whether luck or coincidence is involved, desires directed in the right way have a tendency to manifest.”

“It is by being fully involved with every detail of our lives, whether good or bad, that we find happiness, not by trying to look for it directly.”

“I am dragged along by a strange new force. Desire and reason are pulling in different directions. I see the right way and approve it, but follow the wrong.”

“Life is full of luck, like getting dealt a good hand, or simply by being in the right place at the right time. Some people get luck handed to them, a second chance, a save. It can happen heroically, or by a simple coincidence , but there are those who don’t get luck on a shiny platter, who end up in the wrong place at the wrong time, who don’t get saved.”

“Manifest plainness,Embrace simplicity,Reduce selfishness,Have few desires.”

“To free desire from the tendency to cling, we have to be willing to stumble over ourselves.”
