Never mind the gap between rich and poor or the educated and the ignorant. Forget the distinction between the spiritually enlightened and the materialistically focused. For the human race now, the real great divide is the distribution patterns of the new iPhone 5. Or so some folk would have us believe. But - whisper this quietly, lest it sounds like blasphemy - some who have the phone are disappointed! And there, in a nutshell, is the analogy you now need regarding a questionable aspiration elsewhere in your life.
According to some authorities, the population have been divided into two groups. The happy ones, who now own the latest version of the iPhone and the sad folk who have yet to be blessed with this technological miracle. If only it were all so simple! It is perfectly possible to enjoy inner peace and contentment without such a device in your possession. And equally feasible to be miserable, even if you own a 5S 64-gig. Now, with that in mind, consider another thing that some might feel you ought to have!.
It isn't fair when people are blamed for problems they have not created. Nor is it fair when they are praised for successful enterprises that they have made little or no contribution towards. You are uncomfortable about an awkward set of circumstances. The wrong people are being held responsible for a set of factors over which they have very little influence. But does it really matter where the praise or the blame is being directed? The chief priority, surely, is to make the right thing happen.
What is the objective? To attain applause and appreciation? To earn recognition and respect? To achieve a position of status and influence? Or to enjoy the quiet satisfaction of knowing that a job has been done well and that you have played some small but crucial part in the success of an important plan or project. Now, I do know who I am talking to! I understand that you believe in giving credit where it is due - and especially so, if that credit is due to you! But for a host of social and emotional reasons, that's not so vital now.
There are some who say, 'You are what you eat.' A healthy diet, they believe, improves the body and the mind. Others argue that the real indicator of a person's state of being is the company that they keep. We are only as good (or as bad) as our friends. But surely, though, we are all best identified by our demeanour. If we aim to be sunny and optimistic, those traits shine out of us for the world to see. And if we embrace resentment or pessimism, our reputations alter accordingly. So what do you want to define you now?
 If you seek a better understanding of poetry of philosophy, you won't necessarily get it by joining a gym. If you are interested in developing an impressive physique, you can't much expect to gain this through regular attendance at flower-arranging classes. We go, reasonably enough, wherever in the world we think we need to go, in order to get what we think we need to get. But the real question for you is, 'What do you think you need to get?' First identify the true objective. The appropriate strategy will then reveal itself.

 Some situations are straightforward. We don't have to think long and hard about what they might lead to. If we are dealing with familiar factors under standard circumstances, we would be wasting our time envisaging a whole catalogue of unnerving 'what-ifs'. Right now, you would be wasting your time for a different reason. There are so many unknowns that it is simply unreasonable to expect anyone to reach a clear conclusion about what's happening. That leaves you with only one policy to pursue. You must have faith.
We humans have a natural, almost primeval urge to make order out of chaos. The very moment we come across a series of unpredictable forces or seemingly random factors, our minds go into 'organisation mode'. We want to start categorising, analysing, understanding and rearranging. But if we rise to the challenge too hastily, we risk the inaccurate identification of key components in the puzzle. Don't be daunted or frustrated by a current conundrum. Just stand back and subject it to a few more tests.
.ere you are again! And you got here, just when I thought you would be turning to this page! I've been waiting here patiently to talk to you. I knew we would get our moment together eventually because I have such an important message to share with you. It is simple but vital. You just have to trust that the right things will happen, just when they need to happen - today, and indeed, over the next few days. And as for any wrong things that seem to be happening? Well, they may yet turn out to have hidden blessings attached to them.
 Welcome back! It's nice to talk to you again. How have you been since yesterday? More crucially, have you made good use of the advice that I gave you then? I was keen to point out that things are happening in just the right way, at just the right time. You just need to have a little faith in this idea. Be grateful too, for the coincidences that are working in your favour. But remember, that's an inner thing, you needn't act surprised. You can even appear to be taking it all in your stride. Other than that, just trust and relax.
