Play Along
It can be easier to play along with people than to confront or challenge them. Depends what it is about. If it’s something minor, this can be for the best. But as things get progressively worse, you may want to call time on the storyline.

Knock On Effects
Few things happen in isolation. We may only see the initial impact but usually there are other unintended consequences. Many ripples spread from the point of impact. Look forward and consider what else may happen from that point.

People Overcompensate
If you’re driving, and you veer to the left, you may overcompensate and put yourself off the road, but on the right side.
When someone does something you think is wrong, you may go even further in trying to correct it.
Be mindful of this correction bias.

Is This Love?
What is it to you? How does it make you feel? Have you lost that loving feeling? Is it amazing?
Are you giving or receiving? Waiting or providing? Could you get hurt? Are you exposed? Is your communication like beautiful prose?
Define love in your terms. Then see where you can find it. Or maybe you provide it.

In Pursuit Of Feeling Good
This can be a prescription for disaster in life. While feeling good is wonderful, the constant pursuit of that feeling can lead to poor choices, pain, misery and regret.
Often there is a choice between something that feels good and something less enjoyable. For example, watching your favourite tv show rather than doing an hour of homework. Or perhaps you’d rather pay for a holiday rather than research and invest your funds into a sensible venture.
Making the feel good choice once in a while will usually work out fine. However, developing a habit of avoiding harder work in pursuit of feeling good can leave your life in tatters after several years.
Your life can slide into a series of pointless undertakings, unfortunate failures and directionless drifting with no joy of accomplishment or giving. You may find you are lacking in life’s key elements such as health, relationships, finances and happiness.
You are in control of this. Pursue more than just feeling good and with a 20 year time horizon. Your future self will thank you.

Ocean Or Lake?
On which type of water would you prefer to live? Oceans are vast, powerful, teaming with life. Lakes are often more quiet, serene.
Or perhaps neither and just have a pool. Fresh water chlorinated or salt water? What do you really want in your life?

Sometimes Silence
That’s the best answer.
