I have been talking to you about the various ways in which you may be able to have your cake and eat it. Or at least, get more of what you want and less of what you don't want. Influences influence us  but to what extent is up to our mind who tend to rule over body, you'll be astonished by what can be revealed about yourself. If you want to get on in the world, it help as long as you've got true friends, it doesn't much matter how successful or influential you are. If they are people who consistently take more from you than they give back, that's another matter. But that's not the kind of friendship that is now beginning to play such an important role in the story of your life. Someone who is capable of saying and doing very constructive things is now available to help you.. 
So if somewhere in your life, something appears to have reached a standstill, it is not so surprising. But this phase will be followed by a time of renewal and revival. Fear not. Everything is moving may be at snail's pace.Your life is not about to change beyond all recognition. You have not woken up this morning to discover that you are an entirely different person, leading an entirely different life. And nor will that prove to be the case tomorrow, the day after or indeed, in any of the days - But when you come to look back, after several months, you will soon see how many things have changed significantly. And all those changes will be changes for the better.
 We all like to think that we know how the world works. We are proud of what we have learned - especially if we have had to learn it the hard way. We are passionate about our beliefs - especially if they involve ideas that we once resisted. Yet certainty and accuracy are not always as closely connected to each other as we might wish. An old assumption now sorely needs to be reviewed. Better now, to keep an open mind and be judged as inconsistent than to uphold a fixed position and be proven wrong, that affability on your part would help you attain some of your own goals. You could. There's no reason in the world why any of us can't be both approachable and guarded at the same time. 
Whenever there's a choice between a sweet way and a sharp way to do something, the sweet way is best.
If there weren't so many criminals, we wouldn't need so many police officers. If there was less illness, we might require fewer doctors. Once you start thinking along these lines, it becomes tempting to ask who has the greatest vested interest in the ongoing existence of a problem - and wonder why they might be causing it in order to keep themselves in business. Such things may happen from time to time, but as a general rule - and certainly a rule that you can safely apply now - there is no point in looking for such connections
When people lose things. They look again and again, in the place where they felt sure that it should have been, as if to convince themselves that it is missing. Even when they begin to widen the search, they keep returning to that initial place - the one where they looked in the first instance. Then they start hunting in ever-more-unlikely locations. Only after a while do they sit down and search their memory instead of their rooms. To find what you seek now requires brain power, not brawn.
 'If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm.' Another quote today from Mahatma Gandhi. Whilst most examples of wisdom closely match our instinctive idea about what must surely represent common sense, here's a controversial notion. Eternal patience? What are we supposed to do then when our patience wears thin with someone or something? Only you can now decide how much patience someone or something may deserve. 
The truth,' they say, 'will set us free.' Indeed it will, but how many of us truly want to be quite so liberated? We quite like some of our obligations and limitations. They give us a sense of rhythm and routine in a world that might otherwise prove to be too loose and chaotic. Some of us might even prefer to live a lie that they can relate to than to dwell in a state of intimidating integrity. Yet there is nothing to fear, from knowing the real state of someone's mind - or what the score in a sensitive situation actually is.
There is a somewhat chaotic situation, over which control must be taken. Who has the authority to issue commands and accept responsibility for these? It is no use looking elsewhere. You are the best person for the job and to some extent at least, the only person. So if you've got doubts, you had better get over them. Even if your policy is flawed, it remains preferable to allowing things to remain just as they are. Act as if you believe in yourself, and you will yet find some really good reasons to justify that faith.
Sometimes, we say, 'There's no telling what might happen if I were to do this or accept that, or set a particular process in motion.' But that's really just a figure of speech. Very few consequences and repercussions are ever entirely unpredictable.
 What we mean when we say, 'there's no way of knowing' is really: 'I could think it all carefully through but it would be quite hard work for me.' It may be more productive now, to venture bravely into unfamiliar territory than to cling to the false security of familiarity.
