Advice We here equate having it all physically with having it all mentally, focusing on the mental processes that might lead a person to the dream life. Sometimes that mental life is the dream life, an end in itself. Ask Mr. Einstein, who had no shoes. Enlightenment comes before satisfaction with life. If you keep doing the same thing, realize that must be what you really want to do. A silly idea can make you rich. (At the time of production, there's no way to correct the lack of space...

Advice Women get together and get things done out of sight of the menfolk. There's a sisterhood that operates as a co-op when no guy has a part in the deal. He senses that the womenfolk are in agreement about him when he's not around. The girls are glad he didn't want to share their doings, now there's more for them. He sees the woman he left behind making fast progress. But some fellows rush right over; they have the idea to join in the woman's enterprise. (At the time of production, th...

Advice Realizations and intense feelings and visionary inspirations naturally give rise to double-takes, doubts, and feeling silly as contradictions occur (contradictions between common sense and 'imagination'). We feel upside-down. In real life, the contradictions are resolved with further life experience, often accompanied by a 'Who'd-a-thunk-it?' feeling. Next the vision (if accepted) sinks into our bones and we are enlightened. (Then we might feel wise and smug.) (At the time of pr...

Advice Doing what is proper and acting politely is juxtaposed here with fear of upheavals. Being the one who offers to make things right can be risky. Being an affectionate boyfriend who makes the first move can be scary, even if it's right. Is his/her goodness motivated by a fear of karma, chickens coming home to roost? If you simply accept that bad things can happen to good people but are somewhat less likely to, you save yourself the fear. (At the time of production, there's no way ...

Advice centers around the importance of trust in a business deal or relationship. The more trust there is among the people who get together to make a business, the more likely the enterprise is to succeed. This is true of a couple and this is true of a family. Even a nation whose leaders reflect the values and lifestyles of citizens functions better. A person who has the ability to get people to work together trusting one another is a person whose enterprise succeeds.
Is this the first ti...

Advice We feel a natural sadness and regret when one chapter or phase of our existence ends and another is upon us. It could be going to college or the 'empty nest' or divorce or moving to another love relationship or the death of a spouse, or even moving away from the neighborhood or selling a house. Any old end of any old phase may evoke a primordial sadness that things do not go on, they shift and change, so we cannot stay the same person we are either. (At the time of production, the...

Advice You come to a negotiation to experience confrontation, offer, rejection and a compromise that all parties concerned are agreeable to perform … whether the negotiation is about a love relationship or a business deal or a legal settlement. If everybody does his part it is because everybody receives what is worthwhile to him/her. Life is the art of the deal. Being the likeable person who starts the negotiation on a friendly basis, who offers and accepts easily and gracefully, means th...

Advice describes how it feels when something's going on behind your back and you know it but don't know what. It also describes the twenty-questions routine a person who feels like that dishes out to the people around him or her. Conspiracy is afoot. It need not be an intentional one, though, but maybe just a gal's affairs with one fellow after another wondering if this is the one who will be her husband, or a common man wondering what the system will do to him next.

Advice How many heartaches does it take to make a happy person? How bad does a split up or divorce have to be to make us try harder and appreciate the next love partner? Can we love someone forever without hating someone else? Are we closer friends with friends because of the people we have such a hard time with? A hostile environment allies people who are shut out. Why do we love meanest people the most? Why does it take a heart attack to make him happy sharing his woman's life?

Advice Ever wonder how, when we are very intensely interested in something, we also are intense when we change our minds about it? Like the energy going in has to equal the energy coming out? A hot love affair often ends explosively, not that it has to. Guys who have a bad temper are the very ones to get really stuck on dames. And dainty women attract the goons. Our story today is about these impasses. Impasses in business or social life happen when I know something about them that is a...
