Let us imagine, for the sake of argument, that life is a kitchen, the surfaces of which are smooth, clear and clean. Behind those fitted cupboards, though, are little inaccessible areas of dust and grime. Normally, out of sight is out of mind. In emotional life,it is as if you are changing a cooker. Or installing a fridge. In the process, you are revealing something superficially unattractive. Try to see what's happening in the right sense of perspective. It is for the best and will contribute to a long-term improvement.
There is a lot that it is not yet wise to do, there's plenty to keep you busy while you wait. Instead of seeing these other tasks and involvements as a poor substitute for your desired activity, find some way to throw yourself into them wholeheartedly. This will help you to clear the decks so that, when your opportunity arrives, you are ready to take it. It will also help you resist the temptation to strike before the iron is properly hot.
Form plans, develop ideas, clarify your intentions. Keep yourself busy and relax. If you feel fed up, celebrate. If you seem to be at a dead end, raise a cheer. If nothing makes sense any more.
These symptoms are an indication that magical change is coming. You need to feel that you have gone about as far as you can go in one direction. Without such a mood, how can you summon the determination required to take your next big leap of faith? Nothing can change for the better till you stop settling for second best.
