Like most people, you still have some unresolved feelings about a person from your past. But unlike most people, you are ready to look at these issues deeply. They have been holding you back and you know it. This is an immensely big and healthy step for you to be taking, so if you need more time than you thought, take it! Let friends know that you’re working through some stuff so that they don’t worry if you start to pull back from the social scene. They want you to do what you have to do.
Your future lies ahead of you, so why are you so busy thinking about stuff that is far behind you? You can’t change what has already happened, no matter how badly you want to! So if you don’t like what went down, the only thing you can do is move away from it quickly. Think about what’s next, what is coming down the road. Look at your calendar and see whose birthday is coming up — then start thinking about the perfect gift. Being forward-focused is fun.
A caustic remark that you recently overheard wasn’t actually about you, like you thought that it was — so do not worry at all about your reputation! It is still as stellar as it deserves to be, especially to those who matter most. Plus, you can’t be friends with everyone, so why even care if you do happen to hear some negative feedback? What’s important is that you are friends with the people who deserve your time. The fact is, some people in your life don’t deserve to be there.
You are running the risk of being on auto-pilot right now. You’ve got your routine, you know how to do things, and you know how you like them done — now what? You need to get a bit of freshness into your life! To do this, start talking to new people. Get conversations going with total strangers. You’ll meet someone who teaches you something and changes one of your opinions. There’s an opportunity to expand your mind every day — if you choose to open yourself up to it.
If you want to open a door, you need the Right Key.
If you don’t have the right key, you will never be able to open the door and walk in.
The biggest problem with power struggles isn’t that you might lose your grip — the biggest problem is that while you’re busy fighting for all the control you want, you are losing focus on the most important things around you. Personal relationships should be your top priority, and that may mean forgoing the big ego battles in order to ensure harmony and security. There’s no point in being in control of everything when there’s no one else there.
You thought you totally understood your feelings about a recent encounter, but today confusion might swim up to the surface again. Having doubts about what happened is fine, but do not make any changes based on your doubts — it’s a waste of time. What’s done is done, and if your feelings are starting to change, there’s nothing you can do but accept it and keep moving forward. The impression you left is the one that will stay, and you don’t have to apologize for it.
No one else can give you confidence — it is only something that you can give to yourself. And you’ll get a great opportunity to do just that, today! A past failure is waiting to be rectified, so when you get a chance for a ‘do over’ today, grab it! Being able to fight back after a loss is something you can do with grace and fire, so why not give it a try? Once bitten, but never shy — that should be your motto! People take notice of people who don’t let one mistake slow them down.
You will have an unbeatable combination of energy and insight today — which will prepare you well for a day full of opportunity and group activities. If you see something that needs some fixing, put yourself on the task! You have an idea of how things will work best for the future, not just for today. It’s this type of long-term, big picture thinking that will make you very popular and very well paid. Revise your resume with some of your latest accomplishments.
The battle between your impatient side and your pragmatic side will rage on today.
There is a growing tension between what your heart wants and what your head knows is good for you, and it might just come to a head today. If you encounter someone who makes your heart skip a beat, you could easily lose track of what you need to take care of. Be careful! Try not to let a smile blind you from the indisputable facts about where you are in life — and where they are in life. Wanting something does not make it a good thing for you.
