DO NOT KID YOURSELF
Don't kid yourself that you are powerless. That's a soft option. It's a bit of an insult to your true strength and character. There may be many factors over which you genuinely have no control. There are others, though, that you definitely can exert an influence over. This is why the story or your emotional outlook has to have a happy outcome.You often see things that other people seemingly cannot see. You care about matters to which your companions are apparently oblivious.
You set high standards which eat up much time, energy and, sometimes, money. Few seem to understand why you do this, far less offer to support you. Still, you struggle on. Your life is often hard as a result. What do you gain from this? A lot actually! Soon you will become very glad that you have recently held your ground over an important choice in your emotional life.We all want to please others if we can. That's not because we are weak; it's because few things in life are as satisfying as the knowledge that we have somehow helped someone else. Your current desire to make a particular person happy is a good one. But you do have to ask how unhappy you or a third party may eventually become if you plough ahead without further thought. You may be under pressure to do what's most expedient, but resist this for a while. There is a way to proceed that benefits everyone.advice. Do this. Don't do that. Watch for one thing. Avoid another. Look forward to X; be wary of Y. Rules. Guidelines by which to navigate a path from here to the future. Now, though, it's arguably unnecessary for you to do anything.
Be careless, lethargic, pessimistic and even self-defeating if you like. The cosmos intends to do all it can to better your lot and raise your spirits. Soon, you'll get help whether you request it or not! Your heart and your spirits will soar.Some things in life are priceless. We can't put a value on them. They mean the world to us. Others have no intrinsic value, regardless of how many millions some misguided soul may be prepared to pay. Just because something is irreplaceable, we can't assume it falls into the former category.
There are questions arising now about how much some item or situation is 'worth'. The real question in all of this is: how much is your peace of mind, your emotional well being and your sense of perspective worth?Nothing you can do will make a current source of irritation go away. It is, for the time being at least, a part of your world and you may as well get used to it. But though you may not be able to lose it, you can lose the part of your own personality that has a bad reaction to this trigger. Will you be somehow selling yourself short if you suppress this side of your psyche? No, you'll be demonstrating crucial flexibility and proving that you won't let something silly spoil your enjoyment of an otherwise inviting and inspiring horizon.
To some extent, in your emotional life now, you have no option other than to keep on playing a waiting game. You are not in control of a particular process. It is unfolding at its own pace. You either accept as much or you drive yourself crazy. That does not mean, though, that there are no other factors you can alter. Often, a sense of helplessness in one area of life fosters an attitude of unnecessary passivity in another. Assert yourself where appropriate.
Be patient where you have to be. And don't worry.The pessimists are excited. They have found a gap in the fence. One by one, they can crawl beneath it bringing their doom and gloom with them. Each invader can widen the entrance a little on their way through, making it easier still for others to follow. Sad, sorrowful feelings can fill the hearts of millions in no time. In the space of a single breath, joy can turn to sorrow. You don't like this? Then breathe the other way. Breathe out negativity.
