Imagine if there were a world market in happiness. What if the price of joy and fulfilment rose and fell according to the laws of supply and demand. What if a global shortage of wisdom meant a steep rise in the cost of contentment? Yet if we all had as much delight and magic in our lives as we could ever possibly want, we'd never devalue the currency or create a kind of emotional inflation. Deep in the bank of your heart, there's an endless reserve of kindness. Make a withdrawal now. Give generously.
And as you sow So shall you reap, the rest of us had better start standing to attention when we talk to you. We had better get ready to take our orders, carry out our instructions and quake in our boots, should we even suspect that you are going to unleash your sharp tongue on us. Really? Are you actually about to become that powerful? Well, no. Not 'become'. That's how powerful you already are. It's just that recently, various pressures and conflicts have prevented you from recognising this
There may be moments  when you start to feel as if you are trying to push the heavy cart up a steep hill, using only your nose! How much of a sacrifice is life asking you for? How overwhelmed with worry and woe are you in danger of becoming? Pause and watch:  the less stressful your situation will start to seem. You will have amazing resources available to you, both psychological and material. As you become steadily more able to draw upon them, your spirits will rise. 
You don't need to be a businessperson to be a deal maker. We all negotiate, all the time. We debate and discuss. We give a little here and take a little there. We make arrangements. We reach compromises and understandings. Sometimes these go wrong; an imbalance develops or an injustice arises. You are now aware of an accord that has produced a discord. It is just possible that a current drama in your emotional life may make that worse before it gets better, but it WILL help make it better.
