The roads of the world are congested with traffic. In every vehicle that's hardly moving, there is a driver wishing that they could be elsewhere. Meanwhile, in gymnasiums there are people paying for the pleasure of pedalling away on exercise bikes, covering no distance at all. What's the difference here? The folk in the cars are frustrated because they feel that they ought to be going somewhere. The cyclists are happy not to be going anywhere. So much depends on intention and expectation. Are your expectations appropriate now?

There is always someone who will disapprove. There is always, too, someone who will damn you with faint praise, and then go on to explain that, 'what you really should have done is this'.  Folk don't always mean to disempower each other when they make such observations.

You may have your doubts and reservations but you can put some faith in what's changing. It's not the start of a new and ide...

 So much a problem if what's moving, here, is your own understanding of how to make much-needed progress in your life! You have learned what you do not want.   we find ourselves doing much the same as usual, we think unusual thoughts, have unexpected responses and end up making big emotional or intellectual discoveries! No sooner have you restored peace and order to one tricky area of your life when, it seems, you now need to troubleshoot another problem. The two issues may appear to be related but they have different causes and must be addressed in different ways. Forget whatever you had to do in order to put one thing right. This next challenge calls for a different approach. Trust that what has happened so far has been good, and waste no time doubting yourself. Just get ready to rise to a bigger challenge - and to excel!
