There is an old saying, 'If things are going well, steel yourself. Sooner or later, they're going to get worse. If things are going badly, cheer up. They will improve, even if all you do is wait.' A very natural law dictates that sooner or later, everything must change. If you want the fun to last longer and the stress to pass faster you must identify less closely with narrow definitions of success and failure. Stand back to see your situation for what it is, not what you think it is.
Ever tried to buy popcorn at the cinema? You ask for a small packet and they give you a tub that's almost large enough to do your washing in. What kind of a world is this? People accept overblown propositions and outrageous assumptions as if they were normal and natural. No wonder we have lost our appreciation for the finer things in life. In your life lately, far too much has been made of something that's ultimately small. September brings a much-needed chance to stop pumping up a problem and start playing it down at last.
Life is a constant education. Each day we learn something new we don't always appreciate the lesson. If we can't see an immediate application for the discovery, we tend to feel that it is of no real use to us. What you're going through this month may seem to be of limited value with regard to your current situation, but there will come a day in the not-so-distant future when you will feel immensely grateful for all that you have been shown.
Open your eyes wide as triumphs and trials alike are all blessings. It is almost as if you feel afraid of your own power. You know you can influence the outcome of a situation, but you are not sure whether you should. What if you make things worse instead of better? What if you make a decision you later regret? Whose fault will it be? Like it or not, though, action must be taken. Deep down, you know the right move to make this month. That puts you in a position of great responsibility. You are right to feel wary. Think carefully... and then have confidence in your conclusion.
