Your future seems bright and your goals appear to be within easy reach. Although you might believe that nothing can prevent you from realizing your dreams now, there may be one more bump in the road that impedes your progress. However, this is no time to allow self-doubt to creep into your psyche. The cosmos is showing you exactly where your attention is needed. Winston Churchill said, "Success is not final; failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts."
You're not one to quit when the going gets tough. In fact, you excel in the methodical and persistent overcoming of adversity once you put your mind to it. You are ready to make your mark in the world now, but you could grow lax if everything continues to easily fall into place. Ironically, a minor setback might be just what you need today to snap you out of your complacency and set your intentions on fire. Author Vishwas Chavan wrote, "A success catalyst has the ability to spark significant and sustainable changes, inspire possibilities and accelerate results."
You might realize that you overestimated your resources or underestimated the time you would need to complete a project. Reevaluating your current position enables you to determine your most reliable path to the finish line. Although there may not be any quick fixes to your current dilemma, the encouragement you receive from your coworkers and friends is reassuring now. The fact is your situation could feel overwhelming, but you know that quitting will only make things worse. Elbert Hubbard wrote, "There is no failure except in no longer trying."
You may be very proud of your recent contribution to a group effort, but don't understand the mixed reviews you are currently receiving. Some people appear to go out of their way to make sure you know how much they appreciate all your hard work. But there are others who are more critical and point out your shortcomings. Look for the nuggets of truth in the feedback and let the rest go. Actor Spencer Tracy said, "It is up to us to give ourselves recognition. If we wait for it to come from others, we feel resentful when it doesn't, and when it does, we may well reject it."
Instant karma can strike in several ways today. On one hand, your consistency at work enables you to reap the fruits of recent labors. Going the extra mile produces a bountiful harvest. On the other hand, it's challenging to make up for lost time. If you avoided responsibility or took unreliable shortcuts, you may be required to burn the candle at both ends now until you fulfill your outstanding obligations. Most likely you'll experience a combination of rewards for jobs well done and discouragement where you have fallen short. Malcom Forbes said, "Failure is success if we learn from it."
You excel when you have the necessary skillset to accomplish a well-defined job. However, without clear direction you might flounder, unable to make use of your talents. Fortunately, your current assignment is a perfect vehicle to demonstrate your capabilities, but success won't likely come without a fight. Be prepared for an uphill battle. Former President of China, Sun Yat-sen wrote, "The key to success is action, and the essential in action is perseverance."
You have your heart set on achieving public recognition for your work, but it seems nowhere to be found now. Nevertheless, you know that you're on the right track because it feels right in your heart. Sometimes, running into a wall means you can't proceed along the same path. You may hit such an obstacle today, but it's not as it seems. Although you might be disappointed at first, you are not receiving a failing grade; you're only getting a moment of personal corrective attention from the cosmos. Robin Sharma wrote, "The beautiful thing about setbacks is they introduce us to our strengths."
You are so highly motivated by your personal values today that other people's opinions have little impact on your behavior. You know your truth and someone's words are not going to suddenly change your core beliefs. Living a life consistent with your spiritual orientation is often empowering. However, it can become challenging if you are marginalized because of your convictions. It never hurts to revisit your assumptions, but rest assured you will emerge from this minor confrontation with your integrity intact.
Although you may still be riding yesterday's wild wave of energy, you're ready for a change of pace. Fortunately, events in your immediate environment require your complete attention today, pulling you back down to earth and into your body. You can't be out surfing on the edges of the cosmos when you're fully engaged in the present moment. Resistance is futile and only brings unnecessary struggle. However, once you change your frame of reference and focus your awareness, you can move mountains. Nelson Mandela said, "It always seems impossible until it is done."
When the going gets tough, you Mountain Goats ascend. It's as if encountering an obstacle brings out the best in you and you put even more muscle into climbing to the top. Other people might reevaluate the likelihood of reaching their goals, pare them back to a manageable level and be satisfied with the results. However, you make the necessary calculations, adjust your trajectory and become even more determined to reach the summit. Maya Angelou wrote, "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them."
Lofty goals are like treasures that dangle on a stick far off in the distance. You might not be able to perceive all their details, but you know they are of value and you long to reach them. Unfortunately, you can grow disillusioned today when, after all your hard work, prosperity still seems so elusive. You might consider giving up if you believe your dreams are unattainable. However, your positive persistence makes all the difference in the world. Thomas Edison said, "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
You may be confronted with a new set of rules or a very restrictive schedule at work. Either way, you're not happy about external limitations being placed upon you. Nevertheless, you could fight back by trying to change the circumstances, only to realize they are unalterable. Rather than working yourself into a state of frustration, accept that which you cannot change and forgive yourself for being human. Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote, "The world of reality has its limits; the world of imagination is boundless."
