Curb your workaholic tendencies, or your health could suffer. Headaches, stomach pains, and back problems may be the result of trying to do too much, too fast. Either ask colleagues for help or extend your deadlines. Some people will be disappointed, but that can't be helped. You only have one pair of hands. If you're going to focus on one thing, let it be budgeting. Finding ways to make your resources stretch far will give you more time to attend to other tasks.

Controlling your desires is essential to your relationships. Ask your friends which restaurants, movies, and stores they'd like to go to. Although their choices may not excite your imagination, they should be respected. Besides, trying something new will expand your horizons. You could be introduced to a cuisine, artistic medium, or product you wouldn't usually try. Keep temper tantrums in check, or you will make a bad impression on someone important.

Put past disappointments behind you, especially where family is concerned. Yes, you may not have had some of the advantages your rivals received as a child but it shouldn't stop you from excelling. Look at every situation as an opportunity. If you're forced to adapt to changes in your work place, make the best of it. Your ability to go with the flow will set you apart from the crowd. A person who suddenly quits could pave the way for your success.

It's important to use your time efficiently, or you won't be able to finish some essential tasks. Avoid time wasting temptations like surfing the Internet or chatting by the water cooler. By staying focused on your tasks, you'll be able to enjoy your free time with a clear conscience. You will also impress your boss, who is doubtful about your prospects. That's hardly surprising, since you've been given lots of work with very little guidance.

Others may not share your principles, which is a little shocking. Somewhere along the line, you came to believe your beliefs were truths, instead of opinions. Instead of forcing your ideas on everyone else, adopt an open mind. You could actually learn a more just way of doing things. In the event you still aren't converted, keep silent. If everybody were the same, the world would be a very boring place. Resist the impulse to lecture a partner as if you were their parent.

It feels as though nobody is taking a problem seriously. Refuse to take the weight of the world on your shoulders. If everybody else is going to assume a carefree attitude, you should, too. At the very least, you should refrain from issuing warnings at every opportunity. Pattern your behaviour after an optimist who is extraordinarily lucky. The secret of their success is maintaining a positive attitude in the midst of adversity.

A male relative with serious health or work related difficulties needs your help. It seems to you like he is his own worst enemy, and you're probably right. Still, you need to exercise compassion towards this man. There could come a day when you need someone's assistance, despite having committed serious mistakes. Falling prey to temptation is easy. Forgiving each other for our human frailties is the hard part. An erratic colleague needs to be confronted about their abusive behaviour.

Recently, other members of your team have been doing more than their fair share of work. It's time to make your contribution. Although the prospect of putting in extra hours, preparing meals, or providing child care isn't exciting, it is essential to the group's success. Donating money is fine, but what is really needed is time and commitment. Scale back your personal plans and do something nice for the team. This job will seem much less odious once you get to work.

A child or relative may be angry about how you handled a volatile situation. Be willing to admit your mistakes. If you don't acknowledge your part of the problem, your relationship will be permanently damaged. Don't worry about losing the respect of your loved ones. Actually, their opinion of you will improve when they see you take responsibility for your actions. Resist the urge to say something nasty in response to an angry accusation.

It may be impossible to make a connection with someone whose background is very different from your own. Try to make the best of a bad situation. Although the two of you may never become fast friends, you can learn to work with each other. Turn a deaf ear to a friend who keeps making fun of your adversary. Entering into a gossip filled conversation will only make it harder to cope with your opponent.

You need to withstand the temptation of the stores and save money. Yes, it's fun to have all the latest fashions and gadgets, but do they really afford long term happiness? Think about how hard you have to work for each pay packet. Do you really want to waste all your work on something which gives you momentary pleasure? Wouldn't it be better to save your resources for something that affords lasting contentment and security, like a house or retirement fund.

You may not get much cooperation from your best friend, lover, or business partner. That's because they think you're being flighty. The truth is, you have difficulty carrying through with plans. What fills you with enthusiasm now may seem boring next week so it's only natural people are reluctant to give you their time and money. You're more likely to get their support if you undertake this project by yourself, and stick with it for the next few weeks.
