Sometimes, just when everything looks as if it is about to go horribly wrong, it turns out to be going wonderfully well. We cannot always rise to the top until we have first sunk to the bottom. Now, I know what you're thinking. 'He's just trying to tell me that every cloud has a silver lining.' Well, yes I am. Have you got a problem with that? All clouds have them. They are inevitable, as too, are the moments just before those linings appear when we fear we have come across the only lining-free cloud in the sky. Just relax.Sit back in your seat. Feel the engine purr. Watch the tarmac roll out before you, wide and clear. You've got fuel in the tank, a favourite album playing and a destination that you're keen to reach. Where's the problem here? Ah. I forgot to mention the passengers. A wailing kid. A whining in-law. A droning bore. Or travelling companions of such ilk. And maybe it's not even a car, it's a minibus you're driving. Don't be driven to distraction by all this driving that you seemingly need to do. Calm yourself and others will follow your example.Treasure your dreams. Be glad of your visions, your hopes and aspirations. Some will come true in the fullness of time. Others may not but that doesn't make them any the less important. Dreams are food for our hungry souls. We need the nutrition that only inspiration and imagination can supply. Of course, we also need love. But there is love in your life now, even if it isn't quite taking the shape that you might wish it would. Don't close your mind to your big ideas; let them bring you energy and motivation todayYou think you want to know the answer to a pressing question. When you get it, though, what do you think you will get with it? A new question, of course! When you are hungry and you eat, what happens after that? You get hungry again! Seek satisfaction by all means now. But be aware that it cannot last long. Unless, that is, you pursue a different kind of understanding - an inner-peace based on a deeper, wiser desire to learn what the universe wants to show you, instead of what you want to be shown!
