There is a little invisible man who lives inside your shoe. He is only very small and he gets well out of the way every time you put your foot inside it. But as he is a magical character and I practise a magical tradition, he's asked me to have a word with you about the way you are walking these days. Your gait is not as confident as it was. It is almost as if you are limping or you have lost your centre of balance. Yet really, nothing need impede you. You can recover from all recent stress in your emotional journey. Just put your best foot forward.
Whatever you do, you may upset someone. That's possible too, even if you don't do anything! Even if you set out consciously and deliberately to please one individual, it may come at the expense of someone else's goodwill. How are you supposed to square this circle, crack this conundrum, get out of this bind? By being honest with yourself about what you feel, what you think and what you want. At least that way, there will be one very happy participant in the ongoing drama of your emotional life. Trust yourself
