Every hill you see is another potential mountain to climb, just like every social engagement is an opportunity to create and share new experiences. You perceive the world as a series of challenges and adventures today, each waiting for your participation to bring it to life. However, it helps to remember that everyone carries a different set of hopes and wishes -- and that someone else's dreams are not the same as yours. The question about the purpose of life is multiple choice and there are as many answers as there are people.
Your expectations for the day are likely based on practical considerations. However, there are not-so-normal circumstances developing behind the scenes that could alter the storyline in a moment. Sometimes you make things worse by resisting change, especially when you're not in control of it. But you don't have to let your current assumptions prevent you from thoroughly enjoying a surprising turn of events today. Eckhart Tolle wrote, "Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have."
Hanging out with friends and family isn't necessarily the most relaxing thing in the world today, but it will be fun and exciting nonetheless. Although discussions about people, world events and politics can stir conflict, you have the sense to know when not to push other people's buttons now. Nevertheless, it's fascinating what you learn about someone you thought you knew well. Your mantra for the day is "Don't judge; everyone is different."
Taking care of all your chores in the morning frees you to participate in a spontaneous event later on. Although unforeseen obstacles may slow your progress today, your perseverance enables you to power through on schedule. However, the cosmos is working on an agenda of its own and might present you with an out-of-the-blue proposition before the day is out. Accepting the invitation is your ticket to fun. Smile and enjoy the ride.
You're looking forward to a day of fun and frivolity, but you also have a list of obligations to fulfill. Unfortunately, you may struggle with finding an easy balance between your social inclinations and your mundane responsibilities. Keep in mind it's not an either/or proposition; work and play can go hand in hand. Instead of seeing your chores as something you must finish before you relax, shift your thinking and find ways to enjoy yourself no matter what you are doing. Thomas Edison said, "I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun."
You are buzzing along in your comfort zone where everything goes just as you imagined. Although you rely heavily on your agendas and schedules, there are times when it's wiser to set them aside. A change in the flow of events can be upsetting at first today, but you quickly see that the potential for positive experiences is higher than ever. Don't let your love of logistics stand in the way of a wonderful day. Flexibility is your friend.
Naturally, you want everyone to feel special today, but sometimes playing the role of universal host just adds stress to your life. Fortunately, your inner strategist understands the complexities of different people's needs. However, you're insistent that they can be brought together to share a common experience in the name of camaraderie. It's helpful to examine your motives as the ringleader of the group. Are your actions aimed at making others happy or are you imposing your idea of happiness on them? Loosening the reins of control might ease the tension on everyone.
You can't help but spend time tripping through your personal history today. Nostalgic walks down Memory Lane can be nourishing to your soul, but they also take their toll when you stumble on a recollection that you wish never happened. Retelling stories about old events among friends and family could be healing as long as they don't become a substitute for what's occurring in the present moment. Tom Petty sang, "You can look back babe, but it's best not to stare."
Your philosophical nature comes across strongly today as you share your dreams. But those who know you well are very familiar with your hopeful stories about your plans for the future. Nevertheless, they support you as you imagine the best possible scenarios out loud. Instead of watching your dreams rise and fall, pick one that's a reoccurring fantasy and seriously consider what you need to do to make it come true. Byron Katie wrote, "What we really believe is what we manifest. What we believe, we see."
You're not a fan of uncertainty, yet you're often the first to respond in a positive manner when something unexpected happens. If circumstances beyond your control disrupt your schedule, you have an opportunity to step in and save the day. Your organizational skills are well-known, and people tend to trust your judgment when it comes to coordinating lots of variables. Rather than worrying about what might go wrong now, offer your ideas for what could go right and let everyone pitch in with their suggestions. The only way to get something done is to begin.
Although you might be restless as you anticipate a day that already has too much structure, things can transform in a flash. Hidden emotional tension bursts a bubble of containment like lightning striking the ground. You may feel the thrill of freedom when you realize the truth has been exposed and you are liberated from a monotonous fate. Ironically, it could be one little part of the big picture that shatters, but it's enough to give you permission to change the day more to your liking. Abraham Lincoln said, "The best way to predict your future is to create it."
There is a specific place for you in the cosmic scheme of things today. It's as if your role is already defined and all you need to do is show up and play the part. However, it may seem as if someone has tinkered with the script and the scene you're now in isn't the one you rehearsed over and over. Throw away your lines; you don't need them anymore. Your new assignment is all about spontaneity as you make it up as you go along. Embrace the unknown and let life surprise you in delightful ways.
