They say that there is an exception to every rule. But how can it be so? That very statement is in itself a rule, so it must have exceptions! Therefore, there are surely some rules to which no exceptions can ever be found. In ways like this, we can all tie ourselves up in knots in the act of striving to free ourselves from the ties that bind us. Suffice to say now, that your current quest to find a loophole in a law is far from hopeless, you are up against a rule to which there is an exception.
What are you waiting for and why? Are you being treated harshly by a cosmos that apparently takes pleasure in watching you gnash your teeth? It may seem as if things are that way but that's not the case. You are effectively being protected and prevented from making a move you may later regret. Give the benefit of the doubt to circumstances that you are tempted to rue and rail against. Important discoveries and developments will shed fresh light on a situation you think you are familiar with. We can no more hope to control the future than to change the past. Such aspirations, we are taught, are beyond us. The only thing we can do anything about, is the present. And the only power we have over that, is our ability to adjust our attitude towards it so that we feel less fearful or resentful, more accepting and appreciative. But in the very act of doing that, we exert an influence that stretches out over time in all directions and produces a real, positive, result. You will see some of...
Today's children grow up expecting glass screens to sense exactly when and where they are being touched. Tomorrow's children may well expect computers to read their very thoughts. It's not any more far fetched than the current reality sounded to most people just a few decades ago. But somebody had to be first to see a different possibility and then work on ways to make it into a reality. It won't take you years, nor even months, to imagine and apply a brilliant new way to meet a current need. It will just take vision. Seeds, before they take root and grow, don't fill in forms requesting planning permission. They don't conduct feasibility studies. They don't write health and safety reports. Nor do they take out insurance in case they fail to reach fruition. They follow a natural impulse and trust the circumstances in which they find themselves. If the inspiring idea that you're now beginning to be blessed with is really the right urge to pursue, you won...
'Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.' This little rhyme is sung to babes in arms, all across the planet. It is not just empty doggerel. It probably represents the most important information that a new arrival on the planet can ever be supplied with. It is a vital code, a precious instruction, a priceless piece of lifestyle advice. There's a sense now, in which you are beginning to feel as if you are living in a dream. And that's because you are! Relax and row! First, be delicate, discreet and diplomatic. Then, if you're sure that this is not working, ramp up the intensity of your message. Don't go from a whisper to a roar. Go gradually, from a quiet word, to a firm statement and only slowly, if really necessary, pick up a megaphone. There. That's good advice isn't it? Why wouldn't you follow it? Unless, perhaps, you are so emotionally involved with a situation that it is growing e...
