Denial isn’t all bad. It’s a psychological defense mechanism aimed at getting you through a rough patch. Just remember to take off the blinders afterwards.
You benefit from someone else’s mishandling of a situation. S/he didn’t know how to make the most of it, but thankfully you do.
A way-out proposal isn’t as farfetched as it sounds. Pursue it wherever it leads. You’ll be the richer for it.
Nothing makes you see red like someone failing to keep a promise. But give him a chance to redeem himself. You won’t be sorry.
Your good intentions could pave the way to a hellish situation if you don’t make the decision you know is right.
Doing the right thing doesn’t always result in a hearty show of thanks, but that’s OK. You know that people will come around to your way of thinking soon enough.
