They say that if you find a successful formula, stick to it. You can relate to that. But sometimes formulae get results in spite of, rather than because of, their intrinsic merit. Think of the way kids try to avoid cracks between paving stones. They fear that if they fail, the monster will get them. So they do not fail. They avoid those cracks. And as the monster does not subsequently get them, they feel they have proof that their plan has worked. How many imaginary monsters are you avoiding in your emotional life now? It's time to relax!
We praise candour and admire honesty, but just imagine what life would be like if everyone said what they thought. We often fall out with one another quickly and easily enough, even when we know only a tiny fraction of what's going on in someone else's mind. If we could hear the whole unexpurgated version of their opinion and they could hear ours, how could we ever exist again? Some truths definitely need to be told But not all truths have to be aired. A little discretion could yet take you a very long way.
For many people, weekends represent a chance to forget about the trials and troubles of daily life and enjoy the company of friends and family. Monday mornings, therefore, symbolise a return to the old routine and that is not always a welcome transition. That experience of being back with something that you were quite glad to have left behind, is never pleasant. But sometimes it can be positive and productive. Even a brief break can produce precious perspective, a little inspiration will take you a long way..
You really don't have to put up with a situation you find impossible or unbearable. There may be no way to wave a magic wand and make everything wonderful, but there is, nonetheless, an important element in your love life over which you have plenty of choice. It is almost as if you feel offended or upset by the fact that you face a particular problem. It makes you feel inclined not to try or to bother. 'If that can go wrong,' you argue, 'so can everything else.' Not so. You do have power you can use. Now is the time to exploit it.
Some tell us that we all have auras: invisible halos of light so large and bright that, if more of us could only see them, we'd all widen our doorways for fear of damaging them on our way through. And that's as nothing compared to the cartloads of invisible memories we all drag along behind us plus the secret streams of hope and desire that we project so far into the future. There's more to you than meets the eye. There's more to another person too. Do more looking and less leaping. It's time to appreciate more of what you've got!
