Obvious advice

[beetiger]

I've been very frustrated by my oracles of late. I've participated in haikujaguar's generous Balance Cards One Card Draw twice recently. One reading was about life path, and it told me I needed to balance work and family. For the second one, I said that I'd like to focus on my personal relationships, and it said "Go ahead, that's a good idea." Whenever I pull out the tarot cards, they just tell me mostly the same thing. What I really want,of course, is a new answer, something that illuminates the issue in a way that somehow will see me through it. But I'm not getting that. I probably can't get past this, because somehow I'm not doing this stuff, not doing it right anyway.

So I'm going to put it out to the universe, and maybe to you too. Here, give me stupidly obvious advice that I certainly know, but don't seem how to handle correctly. I'll start.

-You can't make anyone behave the way you want them to. You can't make anyone feel the way you want them to.

-Binge eating isn't really very good for anything.

-Children learn much more from your behavior than from your words.

-Sleep helps.

-It is not anyone else's obligation to meet your personal needs.

Also, be ok with you admitting you are wrong, so you can move on and go to the next step. All to often my pride leads me to insist and act as if I am right, and it just makes things harder to fix. Sometimes just on an emotional level, sometimes on a very real level, like a financial one.
