Where there's a will, there's a way.' That's what they say. They are not wrong but they may be oversimplifying things slightly. It definitely helps if there's a will. Determination is powerful stuff. But probably, too, some imagination will be required and some flexibility. And for best results, alongside that will, there also needs to be some patience. Whatever you are trying to achieve, or even beyond it, over a longer period of time you will require commitment and motivation but also an ability to go slowly yet surely.
To whom you trust and why?Because they will supply a greater reward for  your emotional investment.' It is rare for anyone to offer their affiliation for such reasons. It is unheard of for someone to change the recipients of their support on the basis of common sense alone. Choices based on feelings simply can't be explained with logic - and that's as it should be. Trust what you feel.
Successful politicians soon learn to speak in sound bites. They come to understand that even if people are willing to follow the subtle intricacies of a complex argument, TV and radio reporters, generally, aren't. If you can't explain yourself in a few words, you may almost not bother trying. Yet life is rarely quite so simple. When details are not properly understood, mistakes get made. Speak like a politician, if you think it will further your cause, but don't think like one.
When there's tension that needs to be resolved, it is often suggested that two protagonists should somehow 'agree to disagree'. That all sounds very reasonable and adult but it can be the kind of medicine that is much easier to prescribe than to take. If someone's attitude or belief is so very disagreeable to you, it may be almost impossible to agree to disagree with it - and if that level of disagree ability is reciprocated, there may never be peace.
In many lands, when children lose their first teeth, their parents play a game. They tell them to put the tooth under their pillow. During the night, parents swap the tooth for a coin. The child finds the money and the adult looks baffled. 'How did that happen?' they say, 'it must have been the tooth fairy.' The loss of innocence, whilst inevitable and necessary, is always slightly sad. Just ask yourself: do you believe in the tooth fairy?

Why do some people spend extra money on fair-trade food? They don't expect the quality to be any greater but they feel that in making this choice, they are also helping to make the world a better place. I don't mean to imply any criticism here; it is a praiseworthy thing to do - if you can afford it. But if you had a hungry child crying for a banana and only enough money to buy them one of doubtful economic origin, conscience might need to be temporarily suspended.
Do facts need to be faced? If so, why might this be? Why would anyone ever want to do anything with a fact other than acknowledge and accept it? Facts get given unfairly bad press. People talk about them as if they are inevitably going to prove unpalatable or depressing, just because they are true. But most truths are actually delightful and inspiring.
 It is life's lies, deceptions, suppositions and half-truths that are actually unpleasant. Face some of those, and you will be left looking only at facts that inspire. the power of imagination. If you can only bring yourself to see the possibility of something in your mind's eye, you stand a far better chance of making it happen. Now, of course, there are limits to this principle. You can't just look out of the window, fancy yourself as being able to fly and then jump out and start flapping your arms with impunity. But if your vision is even half viable you may be able to do much to fulfil it.
