We all want to feel that when we make a choice and commit ourselves to a plan, others will support us. Is this an unreasonable aspiration? Have you done something in the past that might exclude you from such an entitlement? Well, of course, you haven't. If it currently seems to you as if you are wading through treacle or wrestling with more than your share of adversity, you should not see this as a punishment. It is more the result of a necessary step along a path that will eventually lead to much greater fulfilment. somewhere, somehow, in your world, far too much is being made of something that really needs to be played down. 
The words, 'only you can fix that', it really didn't mean to imply that you were doing all that amplification and exaggeration yourself. Or say, 'you are creating this problem.' It is just that no matter where the fault lies or who is to blame, you need to keep things in perspective.Whenever something seems obvious to us, we have difficulty imagining how the same point can't be just as obvious to someone else. 
If we have only recently had a revelation and we can still remember how bewildered we felt before the penny dropped, we may be able to help others to overcome the intellectual obstacle. But often, the longer we have known something to be true, the less able we are to show someone else how true it is. Doubts about the validity of a claim may now be just the result of a misunderstanding.If you find a four-leaf clover, if you meet a fairy, if you encounter a gnome on a toadstool, are you entitled to make a wish? And what if you see a shooting star or drop a penny in a well? According to folklore and tradition, not only can you make a wish, you can expect it to be granted. So what's wrong with the wish that you have most recently made? Did you displease that fairy? Or inadvertently insult the gnome? Actually, you just asked for something that was rather difficult to supply. 
A little more patience might be all that's needed.Many of us get such a thrill from a sense of danger, that we simulate it by riding roller-coasters or watching horror films in darkened rooms. That's our prerogative. We can surely spend our leisure time how we choose. But what if such behaviour gives rise to a diminished ability to distinguish between a genuine threat and an artificial cause for concern? Are you making the right judgements now? Or are you overreacting to a set of circumstances that look far more daunting than they are ever actually likely to become?
 Resentment is a form of poison. Though the damage it does is not immediately physical, the main danger that it poses is in its potential to form a secret justification for bad choices. It can become part of the reason why we allow ourselves to eat unhealthy foods or to indulge vices that can lead only to trouble. That's why it is so important to recognise and tackle the existence of such an emotion. Apply the only known antidote, namely love. Specifically, the kind of love that fuels forgiveness. Telepathy or our urge to know future- where millions will explore their psychic potential with great success. But when such a day comes, a whole new set of social problems could arise. 
How will our private thoughts be private any more? What would stop someone being punished, simply for entertaining particular ideas? We are thankfully a long way from this now, at least, nobody else can read your mind. So you need not worry on that score.something isn't working. You are pulling out all the stops. You are investing energy and effort into a campaign, a plan or a policy, yet where are the results? Why does it seem as if you keep going round in circles? Could it be a question of, 'if at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again?' Or could it be that you need to stand further back, look at where an emotional wound has been incurred and seek some way to heal this? Solving a problem now, involves first understanding the cause of it.
 Is your resistance to an idea now based on a real objection or a false fear of overcoming shame? Or pursued by someone who has changed mindset and ideas which were never tried before.
