Why is one person not talking properly to another person? Who has the hidden agenda? And who is hiding their own hidden agenda behind someone else's not-so-cleverly hidden agenda? That's the trouble with issues. They're worse than magic porridge pots for self-replication. If you add just a little accusation to such a sensitive situation, you can make it really foam with futility! But if a breakthrough is what you truly want, you just have to be willing to see what can be changed!
You can't do everything, all at once. Indeed, you can't do everything, no matter how much time you take over it. There's always going to be something that gets put to one side, left till later or handed over to someone else. What's wrong with that? Nothing, as long as you've applied the best possible priorities to the choices that you have made. How sure of that can you be? Well, you need to check just one thing. Is there a fact you're trying not to face? If so, face it! Then you can start making wiser moves.
What if you say something to someone? What if they tease a secret out of you? What if suddenly, they know what nobody else was ever supposed to know? How could this harm you? When would you ever stop regretting your moment of candour? How about, never! There really is nothing to fear now. In the extremely unlikely event that you actually were unwise enough to be indiscreet, you'd still learn something that ultimately benefits you enormously. And somewhere in your life, there has to be trust!
There are many people who think they know you. There are few who really know you. And while we're tiptoeing round the edge of this sensitive topic, here's a question. How well do you know yourself? Or do you just think you know where your limits lie and your talents are best applied? Might it be time you replaced a somewhat restricted view of your own potential with an understanding based on greater self-confidence, vision and imagination? To let out a great light, you've only got to shift a small bushel!
What they ought to do is this.' 'Why they decided to do that, I will never understand.' 'Surely it was obvious that X would never work and the solution has to be Y.' We all hear comments like this from time to time - because we all make them! But they can't all be correct, can they? Some situations are more complicated than we realise. Some sensitivities are too crucial to ignore. You're trying your best now to be practical. You'll be even more successful with that, this weekend, if you resist the temptation to make judgements.

We don't say what we ought to say. We say what we think we ought to say. Then we wonder why nobody understands us. And, because other...
