Letting go of past disappointments is key if you're going to attract new opportunities. There's nothing more aggravating than a sore loser who blames a minor issue on their failed dreams. Accept the fact that everyone has problems to deal with, and you're no exception, and very often all good things come to those who wait.

Someone constantly ask you to do their dirty work but if you say ³yes² then you're assuming their responsibility. Why complain? Nobody can take advantage of you without your consent. The next time you're asked for a favour, respond with a blunt "no" instead of making all kind of excuses that way the door will be closed to future requests.

You're so wrapped up in your own concerns that it's easy to forget that other people have problems. Take the pressure off by extending a helping hand to those in need. It's much easier to gain perspective on your own situation when you see how much worse your life could be. Stop giving yourself a hard time by feeling sorry for yourself.

Don¹t put the weight of the world on your shoulders - take a break instead otherwise, your health could suffer. The fact is, most people are prepared to take up the slack while you're away. Maybe you don't want to slow down because you're afraid of not being missed. On the contrary, fo;ks will welcome you when you come back refreshed.

Love isn't all about passionate declarations and dramatic exits; it's also about thoughtful words and kind gestures. Don't assume your amour has grown disinterested if they seem preoccupied. Instead, go out of your way to relieve them of chores. A simple act makes all the difference between a good and great relationship.

An older person's advice may seem outdated, but you should at least give them the respect they're due. After all, they've had a lot more life experience than you. If it feels like you're being treated like a child, retaliate by acting like an adult. Don't get into senseless arguments with your elders instead take responsibility for your actions.

Don¹t take a colleague's offer of help as a personal insult. You¹re too defensive; it¹s not a hint you¹re not good enough simply that you are weighed under. Be honest, you could use some assistance right now. Working with someone will make your job less arduous and easier for you to put in a good performance. Why cut off your nose to spite your face?

If someone you fancy doesn't share your feelings, you're going to have to accept it and move on. After all, you wouldn't want someone to stay with you out of pity. Your fixation on this person may come from a fear of change. However, you must remember that an even better relationship could be waiting for you down the road.

Usually you're a pretty tolerant soul, but there are certain matters in which you refuse to compromise. Unfortunately such stubborn behaviour can only lead to tears at home. The more you cling to your obdurate position, the less people will have respect for you. Retain your dignity by yielding just a wee bit.

Your domestic routine could be disrupted due to sudden home repairs or unexpected guests. Look upon this disruption as an opportunity to see new possibilities in your own life. Sometimes you need to be pulled out of a rut in order to recognise the things that are making you unhappy. Change shouldn¹t be viewed as a bad thing.

Severing ties with a someone may seem like a harsh move, but it may be the healthiest choice for you. Think: you've changed a great deal over the years, and have learned which attitudes work best for you - your pal, on the other hand, insists on staying buried in the past. Don't let their intransigent behaviour hold you back.

Out of the blue career changes could throw you in a tizzy, but hang in there; these things happen for a larger reason. By staying calm, you will be able to see how your situation can actually work to your benefit. Don't let pessimistic people convince you your best days are over when they've only just begun - cue The Carpenters!
