Some very good-looking people lead lonely lives. Others, whose physical features might at best be described as ordinary, find themselves almost fending off admirers. So which ones have the most enviable assets? While I leave you to ponder this philosophical conundrum, here is a further thought... Where are you bemoaning the lack of something that you don't really need? To attain all that you might now desire, you simply have to work a little more cleverly with the assets that are already at your disposal.It seems as if you are continually having to take actions that suit other people more than they suit you. Friends, loved ones, co-workers, even representatives of institutions, are all going to some length to make you aware of their needs. No one ever easily manages to push you around, unless you have sympathy with their cause. When they are able to play on your emotions, they don't even have to push you. They just have to tell you their troubles, and wait until you jump!
 If you are not going to hold back, go forward with full force.In some parts of the world, there are 'emergency services' and 'non-emergency services'. The non-emergency services sometimes prove more difficult to administer. This may be partially because one person's idea of an emergency differs from another. A real emergency is, well, an emergency! It has to go first. But what about a pressing situation? How pressing is it? How long can it wait? How badly wrong will things go if action isn't taken swiftly?  You need to distinguish between what's on fire and what's just getting hot. 
Complicated words and phrases are rarely a deliberate attempt to bewilder the layman but they have that impact nonetheless. Nor is it just in the realm of the technical that some folk place a barrier to understanding in their language. As you now wrestle to make sense of something that someone is saying, you sorely need a little more explanation. Whenever you are advised  to try to rise above a source of irritation, you may be turning into a source of irritation yourself!  
There is nothing so annoying as being told to 'calm down' when you are in a tearing rush for a good reason. How are you supposed to take it easy when you are keenly aware of an outrage or an injustice? Stand back, draw breath and nurture an objective perspective, only then will you recognise and implement the most appropriate and effective plan.
When children first learn to ride bicycles, they inevitably fall off. Wise parents and teachers encourage them to get back on the saddle and try again. The longer you sit around wondering what went wrong and analysing the mistake, the more you compromise the instinctive ability to keep the right balance. And ultimately, it is an instinctive ability! It cannot be intellectually understood. It is just something that you have to do and keep doing, until it comes naturally. The same can be said now of your need to try something again. I have been advising you to be generous with the benefit of the doubt. But not wildly generous and most certainly not extravagantly so. 
Leopards rarely change their spots. Old dogs don't often learn new tricks. But clever, exceptions are always there . Some people can summon enough psychological authority to gain and keep the upper hand over potential miscreants. At least part of the reason why things went wrong in the past was because you invested too much trust in someone. If you fix that flaw on your part, the rest should work out fine. Even people who are set in their ways aspire to an ability to find new ways! We cannot help but take an interest in far horizons. We want to know what's out there, waiting to be explored.
 We may just take an academic interest. We may feel that we have no real desire to go on an adventure but nonetheless, those potential adventures interest us. Much the same can be said about the desire to experiment with fresh ideas. You are not now obliged to embark on a path that may lead to major change but if you want to, you can.It is all too easy to divide up the world into things we approve of and things we don't. 
The politicians we vote for, the religions we believe in, even the football teams that we support, all colour our views. And they all, potentially, alienate us from those whose affiliations lie elsewhere. Life now obliges you to interact with someone whose attitudes and expectations are markedly different from your own. This need not be a cause of conflict. It is a rare chance for you both to learn something valuable from each other.The tumbleweed blows around the empty square. The townsfolk are nowhere to be seen. They are cowering behind doors and windows, waiting for the showdown to be over. Just two figures in cowboy hats can be seen sauntering towards each other. But who are these gun-toting strangers? And why are they so set on a shoot-out? Look closely. Both look a little bit like you! One represents your past, the person you used to be, the habits you got stuck in. The other is fighting for your future.
Change is going to win the day.'Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.' So said the inventor, Thomas Edison. He was right to point out that most opportunities require effort. We have to work hard to seize them. Sometimes, too, we have to work fairly hard to create the opportunities themselves in the first place. But some opportunities just turn up suddenly in our lives and all we have to do is keep our eyes open wide enough to recognise them and then swiftly take action. That's all you need to do today.There are times when we all want to ignore the potential consequences of a particular choice. We recognise that it will lead to trouble but we feel justified and entitled. We figure that if there is going to be a bridge, we will cross it when we come to it.
 Why should we stop and worry now, when tomorrow seems so far away - and when the needs of today are so pressing? But though the old saying informs us that, 'Tomorrow never comes.' Experience teaches us that it does!, all will be well soon,focus on it and do the right things.
