Just a few fed a crowd. But, then, sharing and caring can work wonders. When you're unhappy, you can eat till you burst and still not feel full. And when there's joy in your life, a nibble may sustain you for hours. Maybe the whole thing was achieved through clever crowd management and portion control. Logical or magical, there's now a way to make something big, lasting and precious out of a seemingly scant resource. All it takes, on your part, is a little less fear and a little more faith.You don't want everything to be perfect and wonderful. You may want to think that one day, it could be, but if it ever were, it would all feel a bit uncomfortable. A bit like one of those minimalist hotel rooms where the very presence of a guest immediately causes everything to look scruffy. A little trouble and tension is like the salt in a stew or the pepper in a pie. It's only when the spice is too strong that it all seems wrong. Don't waste energy reaching for the impossible. All you want is improvement.
Brand names. Don't we just love them? We consume conspicuously. We want the world to know exactly how much we are willing to pay for the privilege of looking like people who believe the advertising that they see! There are an awful lot of emperors with an awful lot of new suits to show off - and an awful lot of people to applaud them. Though, you don't have to participate in such an empty ritual. Especially not if it is likely to put you at a disadvantage that you can ill afford to be in. Stick with what's good, not just what looks good.just keep on doing the same thing and expect a different result. But for you, maybe it's different. Perhaps, somewhere, secretly, deep down within, you want the result you keep getting. Maybe you only claim to be interested in change. Maybe the status quo, awkward though it is, suits you better. Perhaps you even enjoy complaining about it. If this suggestion makes you cross, be provoked by it! Start to do something that you would not normally do this,recognise and understand  what's about to happen!
