When should we draw a line and say, 'Right. That's it. I've had enough of this situation'? I have faith that they will improve if I keep doing my best'? There is no hard and fast rule. We have to balance what we know with what we feel. Then, we must evaluate the result of this against the outcome of a further equation, involving what we hope versus what we fear.
Necessity is the mother of invention.' There is no arguing with that - or though I still think there is some debate about who or what the father is.
They say we should be glad of life's disappointments because without these, we'd have nothing to compare a triumph to. Without its ups and downs, our journey through the world would be flat. But when we feel as if every day is a struggle, we'd happily swap some hypothetical sense of excellence for an actual experience of comforting mediocrity.
If we want to understand someone, we are often advised to walk a mile in their shoes. This may be an admirable technique for preventing ourselves from judging others too hastily but it may cause others to judge us instead.
If a problem can't be solved, no matter how hard anyone tries, perhaps it isn't really right to keep describing it as a problem. If it's a fixture, a feature, a factor that's simply unlikely to alter, it must surely somehow be worked around, accommodated or incorporated. Arguably, under such circumstances, the thing that's most problematic is the tendency to keep using that 'P' word.You must ask whether the destiny you are heading for, is simply the one that you have persuaded yourself to expect.
