Feelings – neither Right nor Wrong

If you think that you don't have any feelings think again. You would be amazed at what lurks beneath the surface !

It is important when we are at a major crossroads in our lives or career, to take time out to analyse our situation, where we want to go and identify and explore all the options before deciding on the way forward.
