You may believe everything is moving along according to plan when something happens out of the blue. Paradoxically, you could be the source of the unexpected event that jams the gears of progress. Unfortunately, you might try to blame someone else for the results of your actions, but the sooner you take responsibility for the sudden detour, the quicker you'll be able to get your life back on track. Demonstrating integrity is key to your success.
You want to be fair-minded when trying to find the source of a current problem at work. Although your approach is fully above board, you might be accused of playing favorites today. Your efforts at diplomacy may soothe some ruffled feathers for a while, but attempting to see things from everyone's differing perspectives could backfire in the long run. If you're not making progress, don't be afraid to let your position be known. Being transparent about your subjectivity will lead to a breakthrough faster than playing the role of the diplomat who wants to stop and listen to every point of view.
As much as you believe that your adaptable nature can overcome anyone's negativity, you may be in for two surprises. First, no matter how accepting you are of someone's opinion, they still seem to be your adversary now. Second, you are more judgmental than you think and everyone but you knows it. Instead of trying to get along with the whole group, examine your heart and speak your truth. The ones who matter the most will likely agree with you. The other ones can still jump into a conversation that could lead to a friendship built upon as yet to be discovered common ground.
The accuracy of your perceptions may be called into question today. But instead of standing up to defend your position, you might just disappear behind your self-protective wall. You are strong enough to fend off nearly any attack; you just don't want to be pulled down into such an unnecessary conflict. It's hard to understand why others can't just accept that your perspective is different from theirs. Nevertheless, you need to decide whether it's smarter to base your current strategy on fight or flight. Either way, you must live with your decision.
Communication flows easily today between you and your close friends, but you prefer to avoid unnecessary intensity. However, your drama-free philosophy doesn't cast a wide enough net in which to play out all your dreams. Although you keep the more challenging ideas to yourself, you still attempt to express your most joyful feelings. Ultimately, you need to expand the scope of your vision and incorporate the shadows into your awareness. Exploring the darkness might not seem pleasant at first, yet a proactive approach allows you to realize the depth of your potential.
Your week appears to get off to a good start because you don't need to alter your core values to make progress at work. It's as if your job was made for you in this moment in time. Nevertheless, an underlying tension continues to build, especially if your coworkers are not following through with their duties. Although you could try to exert authority over others to force them to live up to their obligations, coercion only brings you unhappiness. Taking a more relaxed approach and lowering your expectations is a smart move now. Thankfully, you can make up lost time tomorrow.
You are quite proud of your ability to remain neutral in a complex situation. You are not lulled into complacency when everyone seems to be working together for a common cause. And you're not pulled off center if someone loses their temper. In fact, your coolness in a hotly charged emotional environment is exactly what's needed today to guide everyone back toward a place of mutual cooperation. Cultivating harmony is your highest calling.
The tension between your inner and outer worlds is stretched to the max today as your good intentions meet someone's negative judgment. You don't understand why people think you're being overbearing when you're just letting them know how you feel. You might begrudgingly hold back your emotions, but could grow frustrated with the whole situation. Although your first inclination is to show no mercy and tell others the truth exactly as you see it, taking the high road might mean simply walking away. Naomi Judd said, "Solitude is refreshment for our souls."
You could be the one who steps beyond the boundaries today. You can sign up for one activity, only to find yourself committed to something entirely different than you imagined. Unfortunately, your longing for where you want to be is louder than the satisfaction you derive from where you are now. Luckily, your peers seem to be supportive of your lofty ambitions, but you still might worry about whether you can keep up with their worldly expectations. Choose productivity over perfection.
Putting your best foot forward makes sense if you're serious about reaching your goals now. However, you're afraid of getting so far ahead that people can no longer follow you. It's more comfortable to be part of the pack today rather than leading it from out in front, even if that means you're not as effective. Fostering team spirit makes everyone a winner. Albert Einstein said, "Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."
You could be at a critical point in your vacation planning process. The scope of your vision has grown over recent days and now you're worried that you may be biting off more than you can chew. Although it may be foolish to cut back on your itinerary right away, hard decisions must be made. Be sure you have all the information you need to make important choices. Avoid falling into the trap of thinking the destination is more important than any one step. Don't become so enamored with the end point that you forget about the magic that flows thru every moment.
You're not afraid to go off on your own today because you think you can accomplish more when you're not encumbered by anyone else. Whether you believe no one will be able to keep up with you now or, perhaps, that others have different paths to the same goal, you are confident in your course and cannot wait to start. Just remember, a touch of humility allows you to remain emotionally accessible. If circumstances change, asking for help may be your wisest strategy. Independence is not the same thing as isolation.
