Might doesn't make right and although you think your methods are best, that doesn't give you the right to impose them on others. You've got to come to an agreement with your peers, instead of forcing them to adopt your ways. In time, you could be proved right. On the other hand, it may develop your ideas were misguided. Do you really want to take responsibility for taking such important actions? Think before you answer; the fate of your friends is at stake!

You've got to be totally honest with regard to joint finances. If you've got yourself into debt, come clean. Go over the books with your partner and devise a plan to pay your bills. If you are single, you may want to contact a government agency which specialises in debt consolidation. Such an organisation can pare down some of the money you owe, making it easier to achieve financial independence once again. Take heart; lots of people are in your situation.

Watch your tendency to steamroll over a timid person's needs. Although it's easy to get them to agree to your demands, it won't be simple to maintain their loyalty. Sooner or later, they'll rebel against your manipulative ways. If you really want to maintain a healthy relationship with them, you've got to take their feelings into account. That means putting your needs aside for the sake of theirs, at least some of the time. Try giving as much as you take.

A bad habit could be compromising your health and if you need professional help to overcome an addiction, so be it. Yes, some of your friends and family may be threatened by your decision to get well, but only because they're afraid of change. Don't seek their approval in making this key decision. You need to get better for yourself. Embarking on a diet or exercise programme is another possibility. Treating your body like a temple will pay off in surprising ways.

Sexual desire could be clouding your judgment. If you're tempted to go against your principles for the sake of a love interest, you're treading on dangerous ground. It's especially important to consider the feelings of a child. Neglecting a young person for the sake of your personal life is a mistake you can never rectify. The best way to break an obsession is to get a change of scenery. A short trip out of town may be just what the doctor ordered for your condition.

Family secrets are starting to cloud your thinking. It's time you realised not everybody is like your relatives. By aligning yourself with trustworthy friends, you can form healthy relationships. If a sibling, cousin, or parent is trying to take advantage of your good nature, you may want to put some distance between you. Casual onlookers may find your attitude callous, but really perceptive people will see you have made a wise choice. Blood shouldn't immediately translate into loyalty.

Negative thoughts could get you into trouble so try to look for the good in people. If you don't, you'll fail to recognise golden opportunities that are right in front of you. Yes, you've been disappointed by those who have lied in the past. Don't make the mistake of mistrusting everyone you meet, though. Relationships require an element of faith. If you're continually sceptical, you'll never experience the joy of true love and lasting friendship.

Using your money to influence others will only incur their resentment. If you want people to help you, just ask. Some may refuse your request, but most will be happy to pitch in. A group of people may try to get you to compromise your values. Although you want to win their approval, it's more important to stay true to your principles. If you yield to peer pressure, it will be impossible to trust you with more important matters.

It's important to couch criticisms in constructive language. Being overly harsh will just make enemies of people who should be your friends. Friends and family may seem to approve of your behaviour, but secretly they worry about it. It's especially important to be compassionate towards children. You may not realise it, but your words carry tremendous weight with a younger person. Yes, you need to be firm with them, but that shouldn't mean demolishing their ego.

You could be your own worst enemy right now. Stop telling yourself it's too late to master a technique or get a degree. You can do anything you set your mind to. Granted, you may have to live in reduced circumstances for a while, but think about the long term future. Doing what you love for a living will be far more satisfying than taking on a series of unfulfilling jobs. Just because you experienced difficulties in the past doesn't mean you'll fail again.

Beware of using people for your own ends. At first, they'll find you charming, but soon, they'll think you're manipulative. You can't afford to jeopardise your reputation this way. Accepting loans from friends could get you in lots of trouble, as you may not be able to repay them. In this case, it's better to do without than be indebted to your nearest and dearest. Don't pressure someone into a romantic relationship, or you could make them angry and resentful towards you.

An impressive job could be offered to you, but think before you accept. Assuming this position could risk an important relationship. It may be better to seek work that allows you more leisure time. Granted, you won't make as much money, but there is more to life than wealth. Relocating to another town could jeopardise your friend's own career. It's time to have a serious talk. Keep in mind this isn't the only job in the sea. You'll find another, if you're patient.
