Reality has picked you up, spun you around several times and set you back down on the ground, leaving you dizzy and disoriented. You thought you knew exactly where you were going, but you're no longer as certain as you were. You might even feel as if you are emerging from a combat zone. Although everything seems more peaceful now, you still must decide what to do next. Clarity arrives after a heavy dose of contemplation. John Maxwell wrote, "Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you."
Although you may be uncertain of your best path forward, you have more answers than questions now. You're comfortable with starting slowly on your new adventure and building momentum once you can see how well you're progressing. Fortunately, you already know that your plans will need to be modified as you acquire more information. Your determination, coupled with a methodical start, improves your chances of arriving at your destination in record time. Yard by hard, it's hard; inch by inch, it's a cinch.
It's all too easy to play the role of a victim if something occurs to thwart your plans. But it's unlikely that whatever happens now is much of a surprise because you were probably already aware of certain contingencies that could go wrong. Even if today's hassles are connected to yesterday's events, you won't gain anything by crying over previously spilled milk. Look at the situation from a cool and emotionally detached point of view and figure out what you can do in the present moment to minimize the resistance you face. Objectivity is your friend.
You don't have to take no for an answer from the cosmos today, especially if you know your efforts will benefit many people in the long run. But your altruistic intentions are only part of the big picture. It's not going to be an easy route to get others to accept your ideas now. Nevertheless, you can't give up because you're on an important mission. Imagine you're a river flowing downstream; you will surely encounter resistance, but ultimately a few obstructions won't put an end to your journey. Nothing has the strength to prevent you from finding your way to the sea when you're determined to fulfill your destiny.
You can keep up the appearance of dedication and hard work, but you could be struggling on the inside. Feelings of resentment or frustration fester because you think you're not being allowed to contribute what you have to offer. You may believe that your creativity is being stifled now, but you don't necessarily want to admit defeat and quit your job. Continue to show your best self while quietly developing other ideas. The time will come soon enough when you will be given the chance to stretch your wings. Patience, grasshopper; your life is a glorious work in progress.
You believe you finally have a viable solution to a work problem that's been bugging you. However, upon closer analysis, or once you initiate remedial action, you begin to realize that you started with a faulty assumption or jumped to an incorrect solution. Either way, you must pause long enough to reevaluate your chosen course and make any corrections necessary to get back on track. There's no reason to let your pride stop you from reaching your destination. Bob Marley said, "Forget how much it hurts and try again."
You're willing to do whatever it takes to make a unique statement today. Instead of adopting the consensus of the group, you want everyone to see your unconventional side. Nevertheless, it may be more complicated to go against the grain now than you think, especially if others take you to task on your appearance or your actions. But you don't need to change your dance steps to match anyone else's music when you can hear your own so clearly. Jennifer J. Freeman wrote, "You are far too smart to be the only thing standing in your way."
You wonder if your method of resolving stressful dynamics at work is the best approach. You might even think your plan is just a clever attempt to avoid the deeper issues lurking in the shadows now. However, your observations are valuable and could influence other people's actions. Don't hold back because you're afraid of the consequences. Delivering your message may create an immediate stir or precipitate outright conflict today, but that's just part of the healing process. Remember, it's the darkest just before the dawn.
Yesterday's plans may run into opposition today, sending you back to the drawing board when you thought you were ready to push ahead. But a current stumbling block isn't necessarily a long-term delay; you're simply being informed by the cosmos that your preparation isn't quite complete now. Don't waste any time trying to analyze how you arrived at your uncomfortable position. Swing into action and take care of the obvious issues that need to be resolved before you return to creating your masterpiece.
You might be showing several signs that your energy is flagging. It's possible that you've been working so hard that everything is catching up with you now. But it would be extremely inconvenient if you fell ill because your immune system is weakened. Fortunately, there are concrete things you can do now to ensure your physical wellbeing. Don't wait until it's too late. Simple improvements to your lifestyle will make a significant difference, like exercising regularly, eating well and getting sufficient sleep. Roman poet Virgil wrote, "The greatest wealth is health."
It feels as if it should be all about you today. Although sometimes it seems like you're a character in someone else's drama, you want to be the hero of your own story now. But you must let others know what you need if you expect them to play their parts correctly. It's risky to ask for something because it reveals your vulnerability. Nevertheless, it's crucial to push through your fears if you want to reach new heights. Aldous Huxley wrote, "If you don't gamble, you'll never win."
Experiencing a dark night of the soul can be a catalytic event that changes everything. Although the major issues in your life from yesterday are still relevant today, your attitude is evolving. Rather than accepting your current fate, you're ready to alter it according to your plan. Instead of feeling like your chances for success are fading, you can see a viable path into the future that you wish to pursue. Poet John Mark Green wrote, "Beautiful are those whose brokenness gives birth to transformation and wisdom."
