Something and someone nagging at you, but nobody would be able to upset you by mentioning it is nagging at you. The difficult issue becomes more difficult soon, but then it starts to get easier. Hasten this process of improvement by taking your fears less seriously, and less personally. Nobody else has a right to put emotional pressure on you. You have to need to put it on yourself. You have a little emotional damage to repair. The trick with any exercise like this is not to make matters worse, by mistake, in your effort to make them better. That requires a steady hand, a calm frame of mind and some information. Ideally, you need experience. Failing that, you need to be familiar with the theory. Only if you can see exactly what's wrong (and why) do you stand a good chance of making everything right. But you are now in a good position to find out the full story before you act. Then all will be fine.
Have you got a hunch? Is there a feeling in your bones? Does something deep within you resonate, inexplicably, whenever a particular topic is raised? All too often, we ignore our intuitive reactions. We talk ourselves out of them. We tell ourselves that we have no information with which to support our suspicions logically. We ought to have much more respect for our primordial power. They are gifts that can make an enormous difference to our ability to succeed. Don't ignore what you feel now. Trust it!
Another day, another journey on the great roller-coaster of life. One moment, we are creeping up the ladder of success. The next, we find ourselves hurtling into an abyss of uncertainty. The bends are tight. The rungs are steep and the plateaus are deceptive. Stability is only ever a temporary state between two unsettling dramas. Is that bad? It depends on what you expect. Don't ask life to supply what it simply can't provide - just be grateful for what it clearly wants to offer. This is actually rather good.
Suppose you have to complete a jigsaw puzzle. After hours of painstakingly assembling the pieces, you find you are missing one crucial bit. It is not in the box. Have you lost it, or was it never there? How frustrating! It makes the entire exercise seem pointless. Your quest for a missing link has so far failed to produce a rewarding result. You have tried to apply every intelligent solution you can think of. So now, stop trying to be clever and follow your heart instead. You will yet stumble upon the very thing you need.
No matter how far we travel, we never seem to get more than a brief break from trouble. Like some cackling tormentor, trouble tracks us down and demands that we once again submit ourselves to stress. There is a sense now, in which you feel like a fearful refugee from the tyranny of tension. You have escaped one awkward scenario, but suspect another will arise soon. Instead of seeing yourself as a victim in hiding, think of yourself as a victor in waiting! Rise to a challenge and refuse to take a silly situation too seriously.
Keep your head below the parapet now. You don't want to make yourself a target. Think of how people in the public eye come in for so much criticism. As soon as anyone, in this world, ever tries to take a little responsibility for anything, someone, somewhere feels entitled to have a go at them. To hold an opinion is to invite an argument. To make a statement is to invite a counter-statement. Don't enter into any battles unless, a. they are worth fighting, and b. you are sure there is no other way.
You can now persuade almost anyone of almost anything, provided, that is, that you can first persuade yourself of it. Though, in one way, you can persuade yourself of anything too... you can't remain persuaded for very long. An idea must have true merit if you are not to change your mind about it sooner or later. A deep belief is currently coming under question. You aren't sure what you think any more, and others are dubious too. That doesn't necessarily mean, though, that it is time to think again. Try to trust what you feel.
Some things, seemingly, never end. Perhaps that's better than never starting. Or, then again... well, anyway, all you can be clear about now is that, somewhere in your world, a question remains unanswered. You yearn to draw a line, finish a chapter, close a casebook or just shake hands in final agreement over a matter that has been the cause of much contention. This may prove possible eventually, but for the time being at least, you will have to live with a degree of uncertainty. Remember, no news may well be good news.
Every single day, the Earth turns right round on its axis. Once a year, this spinning ball travels around the Sun. Even the Sun itself is slowly orbiting some object in far-distant space. No wonder you feel your life is going round in circles. What's happening in your life now, has happened before. In some respect, your current saga is very similar to a previous one. In other ways, it is very different. Certainly, your ability to change the final outcome of an emotional situation is much greater than it has ever been before.
Why reinvent the wheel? Someone has already solved the problem you are trying to tackle. All you have to do is find a person who has been through a similar situation, and overcome your reluctance to take their advice. There may be no substitute for a lesson learned the hard way, but you have neither the time nor the energy to put yourself through whatever it takes to gain all this experience. There's too much at stake. Put aside your pride and allow yourself to appear vulnerable. You'll get what you need once you actually ask.
You keep getting moments of clarity - short sudden glimpses of something exciting and inspiring. Then, just when you think you have started to focus your vision, you see the fence again. All you are aware of is a barrier, an obstacle or a problem. Hence you swing from one mood to another. This is emotional confusion. You can't decide whether things are wonderful or terrible. One thing is for sure, though. What you're going through is momentous and significant. Stick with it. Soon, you'll get a much better view
