As hard as you try to keep your thoughts in the real world, they continue to slip into parallel universes and fantasy realms. You understand the importance of focusing on your professional accomplishments now. Nevertheless, the more you attempt to stay on track, the more you are tempted by the great unknown. Although it may seem counterproductive, give yourself permission to wander off the beaten path today. Be patient with your mental meanderings; your ability to concentrate will return soon, along with a well-defined vision and a strong sense of conviction.
You may be intrigued by the prospects of enrolling in a course of study today, but you're determined to specifically learn something that can contribute to your material success. Although your practical desire to get ahead in your career won't likely lead you to pursue an interest in art, music or poetry, you are attracted to the magic of the creative and metaphysical realms like a moth to a flame. The lure of the unseen acts as a magnet to your soul and must be nourished. If you can't find a way to resolve this dilemma now, continue on your way with one foot in each world until you can.
Decisions at work are difficult because some of the information you are given today seems to be untrustworthy. You're not sure what to believe anymore, but you know that you can't make a final choice until you have more clarity. Asking questions of those involved can help, but you might receive conflicting answers from different people. Ultimately, you will need to trust your inner guidance. Cut yourself some slack; it may take a day or two before your confidence returns and your path becomes clear.
You're weary of too much ambiguity in your life today. However, you believe that you could quickly regain your footing if everyone would simply be honest about their goals. But others are not subject to your timetable, so you can't commit to your most sensible course of action yet. No matter how you look at your current circumstances, it may require you to be more patient than you prefer. Nevertheless, there is plenty on your plate now that is not dependent on long-term decisions. Focus your laser beam on where you can be the most productive for the best results.
You are motivated to create a detailed schedule in order to increase your efficiency at work. But each time you add an event to your calendar, something unexpected happens, requiring you to shuffle your existing appointments. You could reach a point where it seems like you're spending more time adjusting your agenda than following it. Paradoxically, a little less self-discipline might be the secret ingredient to greater accomplishment. Athletic coach John Wooden wrote, "Flexibility is the key to stability."
People may be surprised by your irresponsible behavior today because you are attracted to pretty much everything but work. You might try to justify your recreational pursuits by claiming your excursions will improve your creativity. However, the truth is you're uncharacteristically less interested in your productivity now than in following each train of thought, wherever it might lead. William Arthur Ward wrote, "Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning."
Although you might not be motivated to give voice to everything you think today, you possess wisdom that goes beyond your words. Unfortunately, people won't necessarily recognize the depth of your understanding unless you take the initiative and say what's on your mind. Whether you realize it or not, you're standing at a fork in the road and a decision to start a conversation places you on a very different trajectory than if you stay silent. You must take a chance if you want anything to change. Faith is for the fearless.
You have a lot to say now, but you don't want to waste your words on anything less than the most profound thoughts. Nevertheless, you may be pulled into a trivial conversation before you even realize what happened. Much to your chagrin, you might enjoy the exchange enough to keep it going. However, the difference between satisfaction and frustration today is determined by the level of your awareness and your willingness to act on it. Psychologist Carl Jung wrote, "Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
There could be a great disparity between what you feel today and how others see you. You might judge yourself very harshly when you compare your current accomplishments to your desired goals. Nevertheless, your coworkers appreciate your contribution and aren't as quick to notice your faults now. Instead of focusing on your inadequacy, consider what motivates you to achieve excellence. Joseph Campbell wrote, "Passion will move men beyond themselves, beyond their shortcomings, beyond their failures."
It's time to take a stand today, even if you're promoting an unpopular position. This isn't about being right or wrong; it's about being true to yourself. Your message might surprise others if it's not very practical, but you are motivated to let people know that there are things in your life that are more important than success. Senator Alan Simpson said, "If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity, nothing else matters."
It's exhilarating yet tiring to hold tight when you're on an emotional rollercoaster. Thankfully, you have a chance to end the ride today and bring your life back to a pace of normalcy. Ironically, you might miss the excitement at first, but then the peace of mind returns, and you remember why you needed to simplify your life. Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor." Nevertheless, a challenging experience can be a catalyst that reveals a path to happiness.
You are at the end of one journey and eager to embark on another one. Although you could gain perspective by stopping to analyze where you have been and where you are going, logic is not as helpful now as intuition. Let your thoughts come and go without trying to follow them to conclusion. Instead, soften your vision and allow your fantasies flow into the real world. Inspirational author Kobi Yamada wrote, "Follow your dreams; they know the way."
