Divorce = Upheaval, vulnerability, uncertainty, stress, loneliness, despondency...These are just a few of the countless adjectives which accompany that loathsome word; divorce and all of them are negative, but does it really have to be so? Not so at all. There are just as many positives and guides of hope who can take you by the hand and lead you to them.

Life is a wonderful book, suffused with drama, thrill, sadness, happiness, tears and laughter. It is a book of many chapters and countless pages and believe it or not; whereas others may have some input, you are the main author of this wonderful book. You have the choice between making the pages eventful and exciting or leaving them blank and pointless.

Since you are also the central character of this book, it is then imperative to take control of your authorship as you owe it to yourself to write-in as many happy chapters as you can.

What about fate and events that I have no control over? A very good question, but the answer to which may well be simpler than you think. When fate deals you a lousy hand like divorce, do you throw your hands up in the air in total surrender? Would you wait meekly for the next hand of fate to be dealt? Or if given the chance, would you take a prior peek at the next hand and then you would know exactly how to play it? The latter of the three has to be the best option to all but the depressives who would forever wallow in defeat.

Fate is the road you take through life, the ride which can be straight and smooth, or bumpy and winding, scenic and exciting or dull and repetitive, but it is also a route with thousands of branches which lead to different destinations. The lucky ones among us are those who find their way to the destinations they are happiest with, because somewhere along that route they had correctly read the signs and taken the right turns. Fate offers many good options along its route and the way to happiness; is recognising and grasping these options when offered. A very wise man once said; "Good fortune, is an opportunity seized".

Because fate is a metaphysical force of life, there are no ordnance survey maps to guide through its meandering maze of routes and branches. There are however psychic guides which can help you navigate your way through this maze, and to seek and find the right opportunities, which may subsequent place you on the right highway to happiness.

Reluctance through scepticism has never led anyone anywhere, so don't just sit where you are
