You are running out of patience while waiting for people to make up their minds about working on a project together. Ironically, you aren't even sure if you want to collaborate with someone now or just go it alone. Although you might be deeply annoyed with your temporary indecisiveness, it's easier to dislike it in another person's behavior than in your own. Sometimes, even the smallest choice is better left until another day. Once you ease up on your critical self-judgment, the actions of others won't seem so stressful. Necessity is the mother of invention.
It might not matter to you what someone else thinks about your performance at work today. You are satisfied that you are taking the right course of action and can easily justify your recent decisions. However, a coworker who is concerned about your current path may not give up that easily. Instead of putting up defensive walls or just walking away, listen to the feedback. It costs you nothing to hear the other person's perspective and you could even learn something useful in the process. A mind once opened never loses.
You need a stable place on which to stand now because you're afraid of having the ground shift beneath your feet. Although certain things are constant, they might feel a bit slippery today. Whether or not you can project any emotional certainty into the near future, you're able to alter your path by consciously choosing how to respond to a situation. Push yourself because no one else is going to do it for you. Dr. Harville Hendrix wrote, "Nature doesn't care that you are comfortable, only that you evolve."
A refreshing sense of self-confidence empowers you to test the limits of your freedom. However, someone may try to curtail your actions if your behavior rubs them the wrong way. Find the courage to resist anyone else's efforts to add more structure to your life today. Speak your truth directly from your heart. Unfortunately, you could lose your charismatic edge as soon as you start to filter your words. Philanthropist Bernard Baruch wrote, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
An unusual set of circumstances reconnects you with your tribe of like-minded people today. However, it's such an eclectic mix of people that it seems as if you're all heading in different directions. Nevertheless, go out of your way and converse with someone you don't know well. But rather than letting the discussion ramble now, take charge of the interaction by leading it with your questions. Your mission, should you accept it, is to get past the myriad of defenses and find the common threads of your interwoven lives.
Although you're often uncomfortable sharing your emotions, you might be ready to open the closet door from the inside out. Internal pressure is strong enough to push you to the edge of losing your temper today. But if you let a situation linger, it could become unstable. Express your feelings if you sense something is out of kilter. Charles Spurgeon wrote, "Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right."
Your curiosity is the most important tool you have in your toolbox today. But prior to asking a wide array of questions, acknowledge all the areas of common interest you share with your coworkers and friends. Thankfully, you don't need an overwhelming amount of information in order to see what's wrong and figure out how to fix it. Your secret weapon is your intuition now, which enables you to hear things that have not yet been said. Vincent Van Gogh said, "I don't know anything with certainty, but seeing the stars makes me dream."
The hectic pace of your life seems to have settled down a notch or two, finally offering you some breathing room. Although you might actually feel emotionally safe today, you keep a corner of your brain on red alert -- just in case something unexpected occurs. But you are a smooth operator, even in the midst of a minor emergency. Find your place of inner harmony and don't let go. Let your light shine so brightly that others can see their way out of the dark.
Although your optimism is still taking you on a joyride, you're more introspective today. You derive extra pleasure now from a quiet meditation, a nature walk, or some other solitary activity. Thankfully, you're also flexible enough to enjoy being with others when circumstances demand. However, your easygoing style should not be mistaken for a sign of weakness. Woe to him or her who crosses you one too many times. The Dalai Lama teaches, "Do not let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace."
Relationship management is your central focus today, but it might not hijack your entire day. Nevertheless, you must respond when a friend or coworker tells you something you really shouldn't know. On one hand, you want to shout this newly discovered information from the top of the nearest mountain. On the other hand, it's not your secret to share. Consider this a test of character. Loyalty and discretion cultivate trust.
It appears as if your career is steadily gaining momentum. There seems to be a functional relationship between your long-term vision, the current opportunities, and the day-to-day activities that create tangible results over time. Nevertheless, everything could fall apart pretty quickly if you race too far ahead of your destiny. Slow down and take the scenic tour for a gentle reminder of the beauty in the world. Focus on your blessings, not your burdens.
You're swimming in nurturing waters today and your dreams are more vivid than ever. Although you want to follow your muse, you're afraid of opening a door that you might not have such an easy time closing. Although it's challenging to integrate your colorful imagination with your everyday routine, creative magic is possible when you keep your wits about you. Steve Jobs said, "If you are working on something exciting that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you."
