Are you a mind reader? Are you a psychologist? If you do not have either of these skills, how can you hope to know what someone else is really thinking about a sensitive matter? And without that understanding, how can you ensure that the choice you are about to make doesn't lead to more controversy than you can cope with? Actually, you have enough information on which to base a wise decision. You know which course of action will prove most unpopular. So why take that line?                                     When is a gain really just a loss in disguise?

 When we think that we are going to benefit from a development, when in fact it is going to cost us so much to take advantage of an apparent opportunity that we might be better off allowing it to pass us by. And when is a loss actually a gain? When we cannot yet see the hidden benefits to letting go of something that we see as an asset but which is actually the cause of many problems. You now need to look more closely at whatever it is you think you don't like the look of. 

 What is really yours and yours alone? Where are you being asked to share involvements, arrangements and even emotions? Don't feel as if you are being pushed into accepting a solution that applies to someone else's problem. The solution you can see is the solution you need. Trust that. You are now keenly aware of so much in life that seems neither simple, nor easy nor nice. 

Some artists have more fame than talent while others have more talent than fame. So which should we feel sorry for? Isn't the simple knowledge that you can do something wonderful worth more than any amount of public recognition and financial gain? But if you find yourself being feted and rewarded for a fairly unremarkable set of skills and abilities, isn't that an enviable position? There are two ways to look at the situation in which you now find yourself. Focus on the view from which it would appear that you are being blessed. 
 When Superman is having his power sapped by red kryptonite from his home planet, how can he fly to anyone else's rescue? First, he must free himself from the debilitating situation somehow. Only after he has solved his own problem will he be in any position to fly forth and save the day. And if the only way to make that work is to forget completely who else needs him while he puts all his energy into an escape, does that make him selfish? Don't be impeded by artificial guilt. Just be sure to do things in the right order.
