You don't understand why reality falls short of your dreams today. In fact, you have little patience for any sort of drawn-out process that presumably leads you to your goals. Your frustrated desire for immediate satisfaction might make you angry, but losing your temper will only make your journey longer. Fortunately, channeling your angst into your work moves you closer to your idealized future and helps to rebuild your confidence in the process. Success will taste even sweeter in time.
You are single-minded in your pursuit of your objectives today, but you might suddenly discover that you bit off more than you can chew. Part of your problem is there are simply too many things you're trying to squeeze into a few short hours. You take pride in your reliability, so your anxiety may surface every time you think about letting someone down. The earlier you inform people of your over-scheduling problem, the better it will be for everyone. Bruce Lee said, "It's not the daily increase but the daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential."
Naturally, you know the difference between facts and fantasies, but the truth is not as much fun as what you cook up in your imagination. You're not just whistling while you work today; you're conducting entire symphonies with full orchestration. People may wonder why you're so happy, but there's no reason to tell them anything about your internal state of affairs. The good news is you can travel everywhere in your mind now as long as you keep up with your responsibilities. Dutch painter Anton Pieck said, "Creativity isn't worth a thing if it isn't served with an equal amount of reliability."
You may be facing a list of chores a mile long today but you're confident you will be able to finish them all. However, your progress might slow down throughout the day, until you start to wonder if you're making any headway at all. But you don't really have the time to map out all the scheduling options, analyze the data, and develop a creative strategy to complete everything in a timely manner. The most important thing you can do now is to remain open to life as an adventure, wherever it takes you. Zig Ziglar wrote, "Doing your best is more important than being your best."
There are many wonderful ways to capture your energy today and transform it into something tangible. Although you have a clear idea of what you want to accomplish, you may feel such a creative buzz now that you can't decide where to start. Actually, it doesn't matter what you do first as long as you begin the process and keep your eyes on the prize; the details will fall into place naturally. But your commitment cannot waver if you want to overcome the obstacles along the way. Persistence in the face of temporary adversity leads to success.
You normally have a tight grip on reality because you prefer to work smarter not harder. You're often the one who sees how time can be saved on a job by envisioning a different approach. However, you're in a very optimistic mood today, believing that things will take care of themselves, if only one would trust in the process. Unfortunately, the complexity of the convergent forces coming to bear on the present moment still requires your innovative intervention. The truth is you need to be your very own superhero to save the day.
You wish you could take people at face value today but believing others is tough when their actions don't match their words. At first, you might give them the benefit of the doubt, only to be disappointed with their lack of follow-through later on. Nevertheless, beneath your annoyance runs a deep spiritual conviction that -- no matter what is happening -- everything and everyone is perfectly imperfect. Sometimes, taking a leap of faith is the only way out of an earthly mess.
Your visions of the future are easier to manage when you keep them to yourself. But today they escape your imagination and, somehow, install themselves into your life. Unfortunately, once others catch wind of your plans, you're accountable for your ideas and must be ready to explain them in a way that makes sense. The visibility of your inspiration is a mixed blessing because it takes time and energy to collaborate. Ultimately, the benefits of sharing your prescience outweigh the difficulties. Educator Steven Anderson wrote, "Alone we are smart. Together we are brilliant."
If you thought you were moving into the next phase of your life, think again. You are standing at the precipice of change, eager to jump into a new project or relationship. But the energy shifts at the very last moment today, halting your progress in its tracks. There's no reason to panic now, even if you start to slip backward. This weird time loop won't last long if you commit to practicing the art of observation. There are always lessons to learn for those who possess the mind of a student. Lao Tzu wrote, "The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness."
It may seem as if there is less of an emotional edge now, but you're still worried about the fallout from a recent family squabble. Although you may be moved to tell your story among friends, one of them could turn out to be less than trustworthy. But don't get too complacent because it's easier to nip a potential problem in the bud than to wait until it's blossomed and already gone to seed. Relationships require cultivation if you want them to flourish. Karen Lamb wrote, "A year from now you may wish you had started today."
Although you wish to preserve your individuality, your friends are so important now that they take center stage. On the surface, your intent is straightforward, but in practice it's challenging to reconcile your needs with theirs. Nevertheless, living according to the Golden Rule supports fairness by giving others what you want in return. Happily, this exchange works out well for all parties involved. Satisfaction is not always the fulfillment of every desire; it is the quiet realization of the many blessings currently in your life.
You are setting ambitious goals today, and won't give yourself permission to relax until you can justify your break with a list of accomplishments. Thankfully, you have plenty of excess energy to work off while pursuing your objectives. Unfortunately, recognition from your peers doesn't infuse your soul with exactly what it needs now. The truth is you're not seeking accolades for what you do; you simply want to be accepted for who you are. Sarah Ban Breathnach wrote, "The authentic self is the soul made visible."
