Are You Listening?

Both the practical and idealistic play a part in our current view of things. These two elements are very hard to blend.  Earth and fire are elements that usually have the effect of steam rolling over things.  It’s as if no one is listening to you or they are talking over you as if you don’t exist.  This erratic behavior is somewhat unnerving.  You may not be able to get other people to stop doing it, but make sure that you aren’t doing it. People who listen always have a lot of friends.

Being an idealist is a tough ideal to maintain.  As life goes on, you realize that compromise is needed.  You may have to work in an industry that isn’t necessarily ideal but you have to earn a living.  Apply your good values to whatever you do.  You can’t do more than that.

Nothing is perfect except the un-manifested. Once something comes into being it is no longer perfect.  Try to strive for attainable and realistic goals.  Otherwise, you may become down-hearted.  Our life is a creation of our own making.  Some things are given and other things have to be worked for.  Life isn’t fair but we all have gifts and handicaps that challenge us. 

Work at getting to know yourself better.  This is a tangible and rewarding goal.  You pay for everything. You pay for what you want and you pay for what you don’t want.  Know what you want and be willing to pay the price.  It’s different for everyone.
