There’s something to be said for “look but don’t touch”. If you could have it, you’d be over it; anticipation leaves you in a state of fluttery excitement.
Sometimes being new to a situation allows you to catch things others miss. Point out that gaffe or inconsistency and save the day.
Time to switch mental gears. You could trip yourself up bracing for the worse when you should be anticipating the best.
You can overrule naysayers, but you still have to deal with them. Their concerns are valid and you should hear them out.
A loved one asks for help, but you’re reluctant because when you did this before it was a disaster. Map out terms and there will be no surprises.
For someone who knows so many people, it’s weird how little you draw on this valuable resource. The wealth of their experience is yours for the asking.
