In conversation, so much information is conveyed by context. To really tell what someone is saying to us, we must listen for tone of voice, not just the choice of words. And if we're merely reading written words, we'd still better have some clue to what the author is likely to want to communicate. There may well be various different ways to interpret a message that's being sent in your direction now. Only one view is hopeful, positive and inspiring. Why would you even want to look for some other meaning?
The art of cooking a stir-fry involves chopping the veg before you turn on the heat. If you try to prep with one hand and shake the pan with the other, you'll end up with a less-than-desirable dish. And that prepping has to happen first. Imagine refusing to slice till you see proof of the flame below the wok! It's only a small act of faith to chop in advance and, really, it is only a similarly small act of faith that the universe now requires of you. Anticipate something good happening soon. Then when it does, you'll be ready!
How much can we tell about how things will be from how they are right now? That partly depends on our understanding of the various processes at work in our world. A forest blooming in the spring gives us little clue to the sight we will see if we return in winter. A sandy beach, exposed and dry, tells us little of how it will seem when the tide comes rolling back in. Your challenge now is to recognise the trends that the long-term future will bring. Be wise enough not to act only on the basis of an immediate impression.
If you're acting on an impulse, you can't keep stopping and questioning your own right to experience such an urge. Either you have to force yourself to be dispassionate, to look only with logic at a set of circumstances and act in the way that an impartial, outside observer might consider appropriate or you've got to give credence to your own deepest feelings! Intuition is a powerful, positive force. It deserves much more respect than it usually gets. But it is leading you in the right direction today.n far more from our mistakes than we ever do from our successes. Success feeds a sense of confidence. Confident people believe they have few questions to ask and even fewer reasons to worry. But when things don't go so well for us, we soon stop and wonder what we may have to learn from past experience. It's precisely because something turned out to be stressful lately that you're now in such an excellent position to make a series of wise, productive choices that bring rewards at many levels
