Your time is precious and your existence is important in this world. Be glad of matters to you today and now and advices are to get the best out of a person or situation being optimistic and enthusiastic plus open to listening others what they want or have to convey.
For example there are black holes up in the sky, out in distance space, where whole galaxies eventually disappear. But really, we don't need to build a rocket and travel so far if we want to experience spiralling hopelessly into a vast canyon of nothingness! We don't, indeed, need to go anywhere at all. We just have to stay right where we are and start worrying. The more upset we allow ourselves to get, the deeper into the unnecessary abyss we go. Even if you're already feeling drawn in, you can break free.Your time is precious. Your existence is important.
You didn't come to this world to wrestle with stress and suffer through struggle. And you certainly didn't come here to worry. Whilst I'm not offering you justification for wild and reckless behaviour, I really don't think that what you're doing now is either wild or reckless. It's appropriate. It could even be considered essential. You have already looked at your situation through a pair of cautious eyes. Now put on the spectacles of reason, look at it again... and relax..If only you cared less; cared less about people and less about situations, imagine how much more free time you'd have. Your life would be less expensive too. Fewer causes to support, fewer campaigns to back, less need to make financial decisions based on ethical considerations. Whatever is least expensive could become, automatically, the most obvious choice. But how much of a price would you pay if you somehow stopped allowing yourself to pay all those other prices?
if you were to get up to some mischief like stolen goods,telling lies or do something not right, you'd stand a fair chance of getting away with it. Think of your conscience and how your soul would suffer.If you know what has to happen, if you're willing to do all you can to make it happen, if you've got the patience to explain why it needs to happen - and if you're willing to keep gently persisting until something happens, it will happen. What's more, it will probably happen sooner than you think. Indeed, if you keep thinking that it's all going to take such a long time that by the time it happens it will be too late, you may inadvertently contribute to a delay. So don't do that. Give a sensitive situation your faith and concentration.
Sages, seers and self-help experts are always encouraging us to be more like childlike. It's good advice but there's a difference between being childish and childlike! Childish behaviour involves tantrums and sulks. It's the sort of thing you see politicians do when they refuse to compromise with each other, even if this is sure to hurt them more than it helps them, or anyone else! To be childlike, by contrast, is to be loving, receptive, open-minded, light-hearted and full of hope!Liars aren't the only people who can't be relied on to tell the truth.
Some people have absolutely no idea that what they're saying is inaccurate. They may be in denial or they may be so deeply indoctrinated by dogma or philosophy that they can see only whatever seems to support their belief. Accusations and confrontations won't be constructive with such people. But then, even deliberate liars rarely respond well to that .Neither Mr Heinz nor Mr Kellogg are still with us to this very day. Yet the brands they pioneered so long ago still carry facsimiles of their signature. And while nobody knows whatever happened to the original Mr Coca and Mrs Cola, we still feel reassured when we see their names in elaborate writing on bottles and cans. we have to ask whose standards you are still upholding?
The question for you to ask now, perhaps, is not, 'what will be right forever', but what may be right for right now?If religious people tend to pray where intellectual people tend to think, what do religious intellectuals do when two seemingly mutually incompatible ideas are jostling for position within a single frame of reference. Should you be deciding which to drop and which to embrace? Or can there be a shaky compromise? Maybe two notions needn't clash as badly as you might at first imagine? You could at least consider that possibility.
Life is not a roller-coaster. It is a fairground containing several such rides among other diversions and attractions. We are not obliged to strap ourselves in for dramatic ups and terrifying downs... and we certainly should not feel that if we find ourselves having such experiences (perhaps because we have climbed aboard the wrong ride by mistake) we will never be able to get out and enjoy a more peaceful time. You're currently concerned that you may never find a solution to a particular problem. But you will! If you've got a point to push, push it. If you've got wheels to set in motion, set them rolling. If you're not sure of the right solution to a pressing problem, stop feeling as if you may never find it and start looking with a little more determination. These are exceptional times. You need to get in touch with the aspect of your own personality which is most exceptional... and then expect some exceptionally positive results.
