You don't have to sort anything out. You don't have to reach a decision. You don't have to make a commitment. You don't have to do a deal. You don't have to come to an understanding. You don't have to... but you may want to. Try not to want to. Most definitely be aware that you don't have to. Act only out of inspiration, never out of obligation. You have more time at your disposal than you know. If, in your emotional life, someone else is putting you under pressure, it is because it suits their purposes, not yours.
Advertisers like to make the public feel that their particular product is the best. Not only should it be considered the highest quality, the purchaser might be justified to think that in making this selection they are affirming their own merit as a 'superior' person. And when we are not being bombarded with such messages via commercials, we are telling ourselves much the same things about our own needs and preferences. But today, you should try to be sure that the best that you are holding out for, really is the best.
When you are slowly starting to make sense of a baffling situation. How are you supposed to reconcile the contradictory requirements that are being imposed upon you? You can't be in two places at once and nor can you be expected to give full support to two individuals who are at loggerheads. You have got divided loyalties. You have also got a series of logical non sequiturs to wrestle with. No amount of intellectual analysis is going to help you sort all this out. You are just going to have to be patient and good-humoured.
If your shoulders were really as broad as you seem to think, no tailor would ever be able to make you a jacket. You are carrying so much, taking such responsibility. That's admirable. It is also exhausting and, ultimately, disempowering. In feeling so duty bound, you are depriving yourself of your entitlement to say, 'enough is enough'. As you move, closer to the freedom you deserve, remember that in solving other people's problems for them, you may be preventing them from learning vital lessons.
