When you play a fair game, things are likely to break in your favor. It may seem sometimes that this isn’t the case but experience dictates it to be so. It is always tempting to take the short cut but everything has a price. Taking the long road insures that you will be prepared for all of the relative situations that come along. You won’t be caught flat footed.
Today’s society deals heavily in getting immediate satisfaction. I get it. Sometimes it feels good. But, for the more importance decisions in life it is better to take the long road. There is a saying in astrological circles, that “what you achieve in the right way will be a source of happiness and will be maintained.” Again, I can verify this to be true through my own experience.
Perhaps younger people need more time to identify what the right way is. You get this through trial and error. But life is short, so it pays to get the answers sooner rather than later. Peace of mind is highly under-rated. But, if you can achieve it, it will add years of healthy living to your life.
The world is a complicated place. There are two types of people in the world; simplifiers and complicators. Whenever possible, surround yourself with simplifiers. No one has all the answers. Life is about learning and we can learn from everyone. Don’t take yourself too seriously but remember life is serious.
