Lucky In Love

By Paul Winter

Regardless of whether your leading a group or a solo performer in a duo or simply pursuing your dream. Having the good luck that you find something you love to do so much that you will jump through any hoop imaginable to do it. That's the key.

You don't do that reading from a book of how to get ahead in the world. It's something biologically driven and your possessed. It's falling in love.....you can apply it to romance, to work of any kind to taking care of children. Any worthwhile path to devote your life to. If you have a sense of adventure and explore to some degree you'll have a better chance of stumbling into something that you love. I don't know there's any formula for it other than just being open to life. If you are lucky enough to be lucky in love however it might manifest is the greatest reward for your sense of adventure.

I would like to think that love is part of our nature. You read the history of human behavior from the last two millennia it's really staggering to think how destructive and horrible our species has been to each other
to the planet to other creatures. All along though it seems to be that the deeds we read about are the dramatic ones. In many cases done by men. You have to think all along there have been women, wives, grandmothers who had been tending the home fires and bringing up the children who felt this universal love that is most manifested in our feeling about kids.

In my most optimistic moment I would like to think that it really is part of our nature to want to be connected to others and to bond with others. For me I became a parent quite late and I have two daughters now. Kids are the real meaning in life. They show us what it's like to be a purely innocent and honest in the moment being. The feeling you have toward them, to me, is what life is about.
