““Often when things are not working, there is a message, lesson, or gift associated with the situation. At such a moment you may be tempted to rant or try to force a quick fix. But sometimes you may do better to step back and ask, “What would be my wisest action here?” There is something else more vital for you to do in that moment. Or getting what you think you want or need right then might not be in your best interest, and you are being protected. Or there is a more favorable option you do not see that will show up later. Or there is better timing that would unfold to your advantage if you waited.””
