Negativity has a powerful perfume, better described as a cloying, unpleasant, aroma. Once it has been expressed, even in the most cursory fashion, it hangs in the air for some considerable time. It clings to the curtains, settles on the settee and requires many windows to be opened and many fans to be run before it can be chased away. But time effectively enables you to apply the air freshener of optimism and to see new hope in a plan that you had begun to fear was futile.
 We would all like to be waited on hand and foot. We would like to be worshipped and adored, indulged and cosseted. But not all of us deserve it, do we? It is certainly hard to think of anyone who deserves it more than you. Somewhere in your world, there is someone who seems to think this is what you should be supplying to them and not vice versa. If you are seriously intending to allow such an audacious expectation (far less, comply with it) you had better hope that you have a remarkably good reason.You have got what you need.
 Does it automatically follow then that you need what you have got? Maybe you have got all you need in order to help you get rid of all that you don't need! I'm not advocating a policy of passivity. You shouldn't try to force yourself to feel thankful for something that you would far rather be free from. But, at the same time, some key factor, somewhere in your world, simply cannot be all bad. Indeed, it contains the potential to make you start feeling a whole lot happier. Keep looking and you will identify it.
