When you become more conscious of your vulnerability. Try though you may to act tough, you are aware of stressful issues that threaten to undermine your stability and confidence. How can you resolve these? And if you can't see a way, how can you expect to enjoy yourself? Under such circumstances, there is only one viable plan of action. You must make up your mind to stop thinking quite so hard about all those factors. Perhaps, if you ignore them, they will ignore you!
The best route from A to B is not always the shortest or the quickest. We should always consider the quality and comfort of the journey. If it takes us down a road that is less bumpy or is lined with attractive scenery, it may provide a better experience. Likewise, if it brings the opportunity to interact with someone who we might otherwise never meet. Though you have lately felt inclined to question the efficiency of a path that you have chosen, you may yet discover that it has led you to a very worthwhile place.
What kind of a situation have you got yourself into? What are you to make of the circumstances in which you now find yourself? Should you be rubbing your hands with glee? Or wringing them in woe? Do you deserve congratulations or commiseration? The fact that you aren't quite sure says plenty. If a situation were really hopeless, you would know. So, if it is not entirely bad, it must be partially good! Now all you have to do is build on that basic positive factor until it becomes worth more than anything else.

 Even the world's most gifted clairvoyants don't waste their powers on mundane matters. A psychic, wondering what might be available for breakfast, won't go into a trance. They will just open the cupboard or the fridge. Esoteric arts and supernatural gifts are best employed in situations where all other, more obvious, avenues are closed. Much the same can be said about miracles. Too many of us wishing for one of those when all we really need is a good idea. Getting what you need  will prove easier than you imagine. .
