Don’t confuse what you know as the truth

Delays, confusion and general upsets can be beyond frustrating while you’re in the thick of them. Few people enjoy having to go over old data, be that paperwork, logistics or having to communicate your desires or intentions over again. 

Alas, fear not! Sometimes, the chance to re-do something is the chance to make it better. Then there are other times when things don’t go according to schedule, it gives you an opportunity to change your mind. How good is the feeling when you know you’ve dodged a bullet?

Chances are this week, your original plans aren’t going to work out. You could get all up in your head about this and try and figure things out. Don’t.

Instead, breathe in and put your hand on your heart. Did you really want that thing anyway? Where you just going along to get along?

You’re going to get a rare opportunity to not only change your mind, but also express what you truly want. It’s likely not going to be the thing you thought it was. Don’t allow the hype, the spin and the mixed and confusing messages to confuse what you know is the truth.

Only three people have ever cut my hair: There was the older gentleman that my mother brought me to when I was young. Then there was the son of my dad’s barber, who cut my hair for decades. And finally, there’s the guy I’ve been going to for the last several years. I especially liked…
