There was nothing I could do.' 'I had no other choice.' We find ourselves saying such things sometimes. Are they true? Or are they justifications? Ways of making ourselves feel better. We will never know. What's done is done. What's gone is gone. Hindsight is twenty-twenty. We can all be wise after the event. While we are busy looking back, the present is rapidly turning into the future. It's what's happening now that counts. Here, now, in your emotional life, there is something you can do. 
 To you, it's an irrelevance. To someone else, it's an essential. That's the magic of life's rich tapestry. It's full of contrast and variation. It's also, though, a proper pain in the proverbial. Why do people have to have such annoyingly different tastes? Why do we have to go so far out of our way to accommodate each other's preferences? And look at how much unnecessary argument we indulge in over matters that hardly matter. Here comes a chance to build a bridge... and nurture the sweet joy of tolerance.  
 The outcome of a key process in your personal life will be fine, as long as you do it for the right reason. What's the right reason? That's not such an easy question to answer. It's probably easier to single out the wrong reason. If you're doing it because you feel afraid, insecure, anxious or under pressure, you're acting on the wrong motive. The action... and the justification for it, needs to be hopeful, optimistic, healthy, genuine and sincere. If all that's the case, coming events can only bring you clarity, insight, wisdom and success!
