Rebelling against the routine gets you nowhere fast today. You struggle to understand the wondrous workings of the cosmos when its magic seems to fail you. Perhaps an opportunity perfectly poised to fall into your lap instead lands in someone else's. It's all too easy to lapse into a slow dance for a pity-party of one today. Or even worse, you might become envious of another person's good fortune. Of course, you're entitled to feel your fair share of disappointment. But remember, when a door slams, there's often a window opening. Look for the treasure hidden underneath the rock.
Double your fun by sharing a delight you enjoy. Sometimes, it actually does take two to make a thing go right. Seeing a familiar joy through someone else's fresh eyes can deepen your relationship and enhance the experience of your treasured bliss. Release yourself from the fear of judgement or the worry that your friend might not appreciate your enthusiasm for what you love. Don't let anyone spoil your fun today. Odds are your sincerity and courage help you to enlist another ally for more alluring adventures. Common ground is where the heart is.
Your looks and tastes can't be everyone's cup of tea, especially at work. You can only accommodate others so far before you give away too much of yourself. Listen to feedback without becoming too dependent or hungry for it. Check within for whether a churlish critique rings true in your own heart. If not, throw it out of your psyche. Thankfully, pursuing your ambitions is independent of anyone else's opinion. Let your work speak for itself. Master motivator Zig Ziglar said, "Don't be distracted by criticism. Remember the only taste of success some people have is when they take a bite out of you."
Too much hustle and bustle is nerve-racking today. You are much more likely to find insight, clarity, and peace when you mosey off to quieter places. Make sure you're well fed and rested if you must be socially active now. Otherwise, you can quickly become cranky and feel energetically drained. One way to sustain a positive attitude is to keep a memento from home in your pocket or to recreate the security of hominess in your workspace. If you must be away, you could do something as simple as wearing your most comfortable shoes or your favorite sweater. Never sacrifice your emotional well-being for the sake of appearances.
An alluring purchase isn't all that it's cracked up to be now. Unfortunately, you may be expecting more than it can deliver. Don't go with the first decent thing you spot. Shop around and ask detailed questions, including whether what you want is the thing you need. For instance, you might covet a new type of computer, but instead you end up looking for one that's exactly like the old one you've outgrown. Read customer reviews closely and do your due diligence. Be sure what you buy is true and enduring and not just a reflection of your desires.
A word of encouragement to a loved one means more than a poignant critique. Maybe you fear you're not delivering the stone-cold truth if you focus only on the good rather than what's not working. But some folks can self-correct faster and better when they're given more positive reinforcement. Boosting someone's efforts inspires their performance more than blasting their faults. Poet Maya Angelou said, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Your earnest dedication and devotion to a cause is in the spotlight today. Ironically, you feel like you didn't do any hard work for the recognition. Your unwavering commitment is fueled by love and the belief that you are making the world a better place. However, you may worry that public and financial appreciation might alter or complicate your work. Your fears will only be confirmed if you're following a carrot-and-stick mentality. You can't help but make a difference when you continue to invest in what inspires you with all of your heart.
Clearing up a lingering misunderstanding is your top priority today. Sidestep your ego and all the indignant emotions that it could churn up to validate any posturing. The funny thing is it won't ultimately matter who is right or wrong now. Your heart may be singing a different song very soon. Taking responsibility for your part in the current situation opens the door to reconciliation. Mystic poet Rumi wrote, "Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about."
Turn on your grace and sense of glamor to wow potential clients, partners, or followers. Familiarity breeds contempt. But nothing spirits others away into another world like sporting a style from a bygone era or exotic place. Perhaps there's some use for that vintage jacket waiting in the wings of your wardrobe for its day in the Sun. Bend expectations of your own and surprise the world with your originality. Fashion designer Wolfgang Joop said, "Fashion is about suspense and surprise and fantasy. It's not about rules."
Assume nothing is as obvious as it appears today. Build a bridge of greater understanding by actively seeking out a different perspective on a difficult position. Be open about your concerns, especially if you feel exposed and uncomfortable now. Your emotional accessibility encourages a reserved individual to be more approachable. Nothing validates another person like being seen and heard. Your courage and compassion are priceless gifts to someone who could use both now. Revealing your heart changes everything.
It's all too easy to lose track of time or your possessions when your mind drifts toward other interests and concerns. It might feel as if you must consciously remember that you're moving around in a body today, and not just floating in a cloud of ideas. Set time aside to relieve your mental process by writing your thoughts down or sharing them with a supportive friend. Stay grounded with light exercise and healthy snacks. Double-check your schedule so you continue to meet your mundane commitments as you shuttle through the day. Practicing self-discipline improves your productivity.
People may be drawn to you for your compassionate wisdom, even if you're not feeling very wise or compassionate. In fact, you might be on the hunt for a little insight, inspiration, and kindness yourself today. Avoid the impulse to fulfill what you think are other people's expectations of sympathy. Instead, simply strive to deliver the best version of yourself. Your authenticity shines brightest when you just let your heart-light beam. Mystical teacher Neville Goddard said, "Love is our birthright. Do not go seeking that which you are."
