'There's always someone worse off than you are.' That's what some people say when they want to cheer us up. Oh yes. Very inspiring, I'm sure. What? We are supposed to feel better just because someone else is feeling worse? Surely, we ought to be looking at the folk who are better off than we are, and then asking them what their secret is!!!!

We all have wish lists. Often, these run into several pages. Dreams, hopes, desires, fancies and fantasies. These ideas play a part in shaping our attitude to life but they are not always as influential as we might like to think. Only the wishes at the very top of the very first page are truly powerful. By and large, in life, we end up getting whatever we happen to be prioritising the most. But sometimes we feel lost and wonder what's at the top of our agenda? And why is it there?
and when we don't have the answer to a crucial question like that, everything is a nuisance. We don't just have to keep watching our backs, we have to watch our fronts and our sides too. For if we don't really know what's going on, we don't know which direction to look warily. It is though, far better to be in a state of honest doubt than false certainty.
