Is it possible now to snatch success from the jaws of failure? Might it be reasonable to assume that you can turn a troublesome situation into a triumphant one? Or is this just the kind of cheery pep talk that starting to seem very pessimistic. You truly do have the chance to turn everything around. But you've got to act as if you believe that this is possible. Put your best  foot forward.
When people speak nicely to each other, the most wonderful things can happen. Agreements can be reached, resentments can be reduced or even transcended. Of course, it's hard to speak nicely to someone who doesn't seem interested in speaking nicely to you. Why should you be the one who makes the effort? What if your efforts to offer an olive branch simply render you more vulnerable?
If, one day, you were going to gain access to a Time Machine, wouldn't you know that now? No matter how long you live, you will never forget the challenging time that you are going through right now.  You will always look back and wonder how different things might have been, if only you had made other decisions. Though you don't have an actual Time Machine, you do have the next best thing. The choices you make and the priorities you pick can yet alter everything.
No matter how much we may choose to see ourselves as such, we are none of us victims of circumstance. Nor are we victims of our own past. We can change our circumstances more easily than we can alter our history but we have the ability to do both. It may not be possible to go back in time and cause something that has happened to not happen but we most definitely have the ability to alter the way we feel about our memories and our previous experiences. Forgiveness is the key to moving.
Is the world full of people who take pleasure in making life difficult for one another? Is our planet populated by secret sadists? Do we perhaps, all look at people who are trying to achieve something and think, Most of us genuinely want to help one another and you will see the proof.There is no point in getting upset about the factors you don't like. There is nothing to be gained from resenting a situation or wishing that somehow, it could be different. There is a reason why things are as they are and the more you think about that reason, the more you have to concede that it is a reasonable reason! Somewhere within the cloud that now hovers over you, is a magnificent silver lining.The world sometimes seems a little too quick to make sweeping judgements based on levels of superficial attraction..
