We all feel happier when we have something to look forward to. When that something comes, no matter how pleased we may be to experience it, we can't help but start looking forward to something else. That's our nature. We are wired that way. It only proves problematic when we are so busy looking ahead, that we can't fully appreciate where we actually are - or when we begin to convince ourselves that all that awaits us is undesirable and that the best is in the past.First, we breathe in. Then, we breathe out again. All day, every day. There is poetry in the very idea that all our lives are made up of so many individual expansions and contractions.t we would all understand the importance of rhythmic change. All natural forces, from tides to seasons, go first one way, then another. Yet, though we love it when things are on the up, we panic when they seem to be moving in the other direction. What kind of world is this? According to some, it is a 'dog eat dog' kind of a place. Or it is a 'rat race' in which everyone must fend for themselves and we should all be keeping a wary eye out for those who might wish to trick us. And it is true that, on bad days, it can seem as if such negative assessments are credible. Yet that's all most unfair and very one-sided. Planet earth is also a heaven, a haven and a magical source of delight and inspiration. 'Where there's a will, there's a way.' So we have to ask what your force of will is driving you towards now. Are you creating a way forward for yourself in accordance with some deep, unexpressed need?There is nothing wrong with anything that's happening people are happy to trust some subjects to mystics. But in the realm of the heart, events are not entirely random and nor are the elusive forces that govern fortune.Love,money a,..nd luck everybody need the most. But there are other areas of interests too!Sometimes, we cling too tightly to our dreams, hopes and wide-eyed, wildly unrealistic, beliefs. But better that than to maintain such a fierce grip on our fears, worries and resentments. Those, we can and should always let go of. They bring us no benefit. And as for those other objects of our extraneous attention, well, the worst it can do is lead to a little disappointment. And that's only a problem if we are hanging on too determinedly to all those negative emotions. Be idealistic.
