Your emotions may be getting in the way of facing a difficult truth or decision. Is it time to move on? You may also be looking at something through the lens of a limited perspective. Lamenting a loss, rather than what you stand to gain. Look around you. It appears there is an opportunity that is waiting for you to notice it. It may require your taking some sort of action and/or think outside the box.
When you see an opportunity take advantage of it. Do not make excuses. For we can always come up with reasons not to do something. If you listen to that inner critic, you may be talking yourself out of just the thing that has the potential of creating better circumstances for you!
Just as the fox uses quick action and its wits to obtain what it needs, now is your time to do the same. Pick up those two cups behind you and find out what treasures are waiting for you inside that castle that is just beyond the bridge over troubled waters. 
“If a window of opportunity appears, don’t pull down the shade” Tom Peters
