.If there is something that you don't want someone else to know,How can we think about wasting our time appreciating natural beauty, when there are so many bills to pay, pots to wash, jobs to do, battles to fight, arguments to engage in and problems to solve? Don't we understand that life is about survival and that there is simply no time, in the modern world, for reflective, philosophical musings?

  How much excitement do you want? How many intense emotional experiences do you feel you need? Do you have to get caught up in some great drama? Must you deal with problem after problem? Sorry to ask all these questions, but then questions themselves can be so very destabilising. As soon as we start to ask them, we begin to chip away at whatever is making us feel most stable and secure. You can't just ignore an unsatisfactory situation, but nor do you have to give it your full attention right now   Imagine if one day we all wake up to find we are living in an ideal world.

 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!
