A deep love of luxury is keeping you from taking an important risk. Don't make the mistake of holding on to the familiar. It will keep you from realising your full potential. Any worthy goal involves a risk. Be brave and roll the dice. Someone is resorting to childish tantrums to get attention. Stop what you're doing and spend some quality time together. You must admit you can be neglectful when you're wrapped up in personal matters. Never forget the importance of your loved ones.

Demanding special treatment will do more harm than good. Even if you have unique skills, it's important to follow the rules that are imposed on everyone else. When the rest of the team sees you're both talented and humble, they'll treat you with respect. Your family has inflated your ego. Although it's nice that they think so well of you, this is only an insiders' view. To win the esteem of strangers, you must prove yourself through hard work.

Being unreliable is taking a toll on friendships. When you make a promise, follow through on it. You may have good intentions when you offer help, but if you don't deliver on this assistance, people are seriously inconvenienced. Stop being so cavalier. Disappointing news about a community issue makes you wonder whether you should relocate. Don't make any hasty decisions. After you get used to the idea of a new housing development or shopping centre, it won't seem so offensive.

Insisting on doing something your way will create resentment. You're not taking this stand because you truly believe it's the best way to do things. You're trying to make a power play. Getting what you want will be a hollow victory. It's better to meet people in the middle. Instead of pouring all the group's money into expensive materials, opt for less expensive supplies. The effect won't be as dazzling, but you will bring the project in under budget.

Being overambitious will set you up for disappointment. If you want to get ahead in the professional world, you should take slow, small steps towards your goal. If necessary, gain experience by taking an entry level position. When you master this position, you'll be offered a better one. Paying your dues will cause your colleagues to look at you with respect. It will also allow you to do your work with confidence and precision. You won't make embarrassing mistakes when you ease into a role.

Clinging to an eccentric belief is making you an outcast. You're welcome to embrace any philosophy you desire, but you shouldn't discuss these ideas in mixed company. When you want to talk about your moral code, do so with people who share your ideals. A bureaucratic organisation won't give you permission to build a structure or practice a profession. This is a blessing in disguise. Instead of insisting that the odds are stacked against you, consider whether this refusal will put you on a better path.

You're determined to bring about a big change, but you face great opposition. Most people want things to remain the same. They see your plans as a threat to their peace and well-being. Instead of taking an adversarial position, meet for some constructive conversation. After talking to these opponents, you'll realise they have many good points. Look for ways you can have both of your concerns met. By treating everyone with respect, you can make some helpful reforms, rather than radical overhauls.

You have difficulty getting along with someone who is set in their ways. It feels like you can only have a relationship on their terms. Instead of giving all your power away, demand more respect. If you can't get it, go your own way. You're getting a great deal of attention at work. This creates jealousy. When you're given praise for a job well done, be sure to share the credit with everyone who has helped you along the way.

It's been difficult to find steady employment. You can adjust yourself to the idea of taking on a series of temporary assignments. Alternatively, you can acquire specialised skills in an industry that is desperate for workers. Either way, you'll feel better about the situation. You don't know enough about a line of work to decide whether it suits you. Talk to people who perform this job. They'll give some valuable insight with regard to what the duties really involve. Their feedback will give you much clearer understanding.

There's nothing more unattractive than a sore loser. If you don't prevail in a contest, be gracious to the victor. They deserve respect for having outperformed you. With a little practice and persistence, you might get better than them. Until then, practice humility. You have a crush on someone who doesn't return your feelings. This is upsetting, but it's not the end of the world. Rather than try to get into their good graces, be good to yourself. Wait for someone who appreciates your many wonderful qualities.

Friends don't appreciate your moody behaviour. No matter what they do or say, you manage to find fault with it. Lighten up. If you're dealing with a serious problem, talk to a sensitive relative. They'll give helpful advice on how to cope with this challenge. This isn't a good time to make drastic decisions about a partnership. Instead of walking away from a troubled union, look for ways to salvage it. You are better together than apart.

Your impractical ideas are making everyone frustrated. The group wants to finish a job as quickly as possible. Your playful suggestions are only delaying the process. If you don't have anything helpful to contribute, remain silent. There is important work to be done. If you're going to strengthen your system, you must follow a sensible regime. Prepare healthy meals ahead of time. That way, when you're hungry, you'll be able to enjoy a nutritious lunch instead of opting for junk food.
