You made your point and others seem to finally realize that there's just no way to change your mind or alter your course. However, now that folks know the score, resist the urge to get cocky. Winning a personal battle is one thing but remaining victorious requires you to keep everyone on the same page. Pointing out what you have in common, rather than expounding at length on your differences, is a productive strategy. Professor Warren Bennis wrote, "Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality."
There is peace in your kingdom again, thanks in no small part to the prudent way you are handling recent disputes. Nevertheless, if a certain higher-up is still acting a bit chilly, let them know you're willing to keep the lines of communication open. In the meantime, quietly celebrate your victory by encouraging others to thrive. Making someone else feel small only makes you look smaller. Suppressing the urge to gloat saves you precious time and energy. Nelson Mandela said, "A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination."
Our cheerful, exuberant mood isn't going anywhere soon, regardless of circumstances that pop up today to foil even your best-laid plans. Keep an eye out for unusual new people who demonstrate by their example how to truly enjoy all the wonder and beauty of the world. Life is a school; the cosmos is handing you an invitation to audit a class on spontaneous fun. Accept the opportunity without hesitation. Adventure begins at the end of the roads you know.
Your heart is considerably lighter today. Those closest to you seem to be willing to let go of grudges and look toward the future, rather than dwelling on the past. There's no reason to hold onto any negative feelings now, and you know it. And yes, wiping the slate clean even applies to the person at work you see as an adversary rather than an ally. Dig a little deeper. You might find that you two have far more in common than you ever imagined. Be bold and reach out to make a sincere connection. Your kindness is an irresistible force.
The travel-bug bites, and all you can think about is exploring a brand-new place and experiencing something you've never seen before. If a certain new someone inspires your wanderlust now, be sure to take them along for the adventure. If you're flying solo, rest assured that over the course of your journey at least one encounter will change your perspective. Widening your frame of reference and learning about other cultures helps you appreciate yours even more. Open your eyes and expand your world.
Take a chance and allow yourself to be handled by someone who is an expert at networking and motivation. What you need now to break away from your routine and make it on your own is an agent -- a person who can talk up your strong points at the same time they're encouraging you to strive to be the very best version of you. Don't be afraid if their methods are a bit unorthodox when it comes to singing your praises. Imagination and invention will get your name mentioned in all the right circles.
Inspiration arrives, via a rebellious new friend or casual acquaintance who doesn't seem to be bound by any laws or conventions. On one hand, their radical approach can offer you an extremely motivating and liberating encounter, especially if you take what your companion entices you to do with a grain of salt. On the other hand, you might be moved to join in their game simply to prove you're up for the challenge. Don't swallow the bait unless you're willing to suffer the consequences. Take what you need and leave the rest.
You might use your wallet to express your feelings today. Prepare to pull out your plastic, especially if you're spending time with dear ones you haven't seen in a while. However, watch your cash flow and don't go overboard when it's not necessary. You have nothing to prove and no one to impress. Everyone knows you're quite choosy about the company you keep. Your attention and affection are more than enough to spoil any mere mortal rotten. Being generous with your heart is all that truly matters.
You're cruising for a good old-fashioned debate, but finding someone who can match your wit and passion may be easier said than done. Do your homework, tuck away your feelings, and bone up on the facts and figures of your case. But before you become too deeply entangled today, be sure your colleague or friend isn't just arguing about what they want to believe, as opposed to what's actually true. What fun is winning if your opponent's head isn't in the game? Don't waste your energy over trivial pursuits; choose your battles wisely.
You're still mulling over what's important and what's not, trying to decide how many hours of your life you're willing to trade to keep the status quo intact. If your thoughts turn to matters of personal freedom today -- and it's really time that they should -- you might consider cutting back a bit on work and enjoying the fruits of your labors in a reclining position. A little rest and relaxation recharges your batteries and reinvigorates your spirits. Eleanor Roosevelt said, "The purpose of life is to live it."
You're wearing your emotions on your sleeve and, oddly enough, you're loving every minute of it. You're not ordinarily much for shouting your feelings to the world, but when you're brimming over with optimism, enthusiasm, and confidence, it's hard to keep it to yourself. There's no sensible reason to hide your joyful exuberance today. Spend time with kindred spirits who appreciate your attitude and inspire you to squeeze every drop out of life. Happiness is a state of mind.
You're famously creative, so your knack for coming up with innovative and inventive solutions is already well known. In fact, you are likely to impress the powers that be with your original ideas today. Granted, some of what you see in your mind's eye may be slightly ahead of its time, but friends and associates who are on the same intellectual page understand and admire your insights now. Be bold in your use of color and authentic in your message.
