The atmosphere and influences affecting the situation.
Focus

Obstacles that stand in your way.
Disappointment

Others
Someone will cause you to question your values, needs, and responses, and you will worry that if you follow your heart and hold out for what you really want, you will end up with nothing. Or, changes you worried about will work after all.

Your aims or ideals, the best that can be achieved in the situation.
