PROFOUND THOUGHTS

The end is not nigh. The day of doom is not upon us. The universe is not about to come to some catastrophic close. And nor, while we are on the topic of gloomy thoughts, is there some special arrangement in the fabric of the space-time continuum that means life can go happily on for all the rest of us whilst it grows steadily more unsatisfactory for you. Cast all such thoughts from your mind. Neither are they helpful, nor are they based on anything other than fear or fiction. Something rather good will happen to you soon- Love? Money? Career? Wellbeing? Whatever your question, you'll find a helpful, accurate answer.
Library shelves may no longer creak and groan under the weight of such tomes but our Kindles and e-readers are still full of texts telling us all how to become happier. So where are the books that tell us how we can become more miserable? We don't need those, because we can manage that kind of thing quite well on our own thanks! You have lately become a little too good at feeling bad. You are about to gain good reason to feel a whole lot better. You are, after all, very special and you deserve the best.
If something is making you feel vulnerable, you should do all you can to increase your sense of protection. But be just a little careful. Sometimes, in our efforts to keep trouble at bay, we inadvertently render ourselves more accident-prone. Trust and confidence are wonderful qualities. They can encapsulate us in a bubble so safe and strong that no potential threats can intrude upon us. You don't have to be blindly optimistic today. But you should allow yourself to be optimistic whilst keeping your eyes wide open.Shall we discuss the weather? How about the state of the traffic on the local road? Have you seen any good soap operas lately? I just thought a little trivial conversation might distract us both from the... well, you know. Must we dive deep into yet another round of intense speculation and exploration? Must there be more sharing and baring of the soul? Of course there must be. Absolutely. The more profound your thoughts and words now, the more power and success you will begin to muster. Fear neither depth nor candour today.
There is always something you want, but you can't have it. There is something that you don't want, but you can't seem to get rid of it. There is something that you know to be true, but which you do not understand. There is something that you fully understand and trust but which you cannot prove to be true. Hey! Welcome to life on Planet Earth. It is not a 21st-century thing. The world has ever been this way. Right now, though, you hunger for a less perplexing set of circumstances. Be a little more philosophical today!We all like adventure stories. We don't really want to hear how someone has slowly, patiently negotiated a fair compromise with a person whose interests differ to their own. We are more excited by the idea that the two fought a pitched battle and one firmly trounced the other. There's nothing especially fascinating about reason, gentility, and gentle persistence. But the results of prioritising such policies are so well worth having. Don't worry about what sounds good today. Just do what you know is truly good. Turn the light off. It is stopping you from seeing clearly. That may sound contradictory, but there's no conflict here if what you are trying to see is a shape rather than a texture, a colour or a detail. For optimum contrast on the outline, you really want semi-darkness. Right now, in your life, you're getting too much information. It is revealing, even fascinating, but it is ultimately misleading. You need to get a little more context before you can fully understand how everything fits in to the overall picture. We have so many blessings, so many gifts, so many reasons to be thankful. Yet we spend so much time rushing around hunting for things that, actually, we already have.
 When there's a sense of uneasiness in your life-specially these days. Yet almost all of this is unnecessary. There's no real reason to rush, to hurry, to worry or to push something further than it naturally wants to go. Look at what's good; celebrate this, be inspired by it, then aim for a more relaxed yet successful journey from here to where you need to be.Is there more to life than success and popularity? There is plenty more! There is happiness (which is not always a natural by-product of success) and integrity (which doesn't invariably accompany popularity). You fully understand these distinctions. You give far more thought to such matters than most folk do. The choices that you must now make in your life, all relate, to some extent, to issues which arise from an ethical question and a matter of true personal preference. It is important to honour your deepest feelings.
Troubles are like buses; you sit around for ages, yet none come along. Then several turn up at the same time. They are like buses in another way too. They take us places. We should be glad of our difficulties and challenges. They move us on and introduce much needed change for the better. Often, when we look back, we are grateful. It is just that at the time, while everything is happening, we tend to feel threatened. You're on a journey towards highly positive progress. Passing tension is just a necessary side effect of this.Welcome to the world of tomorrow. It is a bit like the world of today, but slightly more futuristic! In tomorrow's world, today has become yesterday. Oh, hang on. I see what you mean. This isn't really tomorrow at all, is it? It is just another today! Or is it? Sometimes, every so often, little windows of possibility open up before us. They present us with choices which, if made well, really can cause us to start travelling down a very different road. And there is something about what's happening now, that definitely fits that description.
