We all understand the idea of 'going the extra mile'. It is such a laudable concept, an inspiring idea. We don't just do the minimum we can get away with; we reach for the best. Nothing less will do. So far, so good. But what if we see someone diligently pursuing an objective in which we perceive no value? Should we support them in their foolishness? Or educate them towards a wiser set of choices? Unless you want to risk being thought of as pompous and interfering, it may be better to say less. The adjustments are not always major nor dramatic. Usually, though, they bring a shakedown. Chaos gives rise to order. Messes get straightened out. There are many factors in your life that could now benefit from this type of transition. Rest assured that whatever is complicated will soon become much simpler and whatever is now a source of stress will bring comfort..
When you plant a tiny seed and water it, you can watch it grow into a most magnificent plant. All it takes is time and patience. Oh, and a seed! Even the most talented gardeners don't produce something out of nothing. They work with 'next to nothing', which is crucially different. With that in mind, let us consider a current, mooted, solution to a problem. It isn't instant. It won't do much to relieve pressure in the short-term but the long-term will be here soon enough, and you will be ready for it if you apply this idea now. This is a chance to clear up confusion from the past and inject fresh energy into old hopes.You have got what you need. Does it automatically follow then that you need what you have got? Maybe you have got all you need in order to help you get rid of all that you don't need! I'm not advocating a policy of passivity. You shouldn't try to force yourself to feel thankful for something that you would far rather be free from. But, at the same time, some key factor, somewhere in your world, simply cannot be all bad. Indeed, it contains the potential to make you start feeling a whole lot happier. Keep looking and you will identify it.
