Beware of developing a power complex. Although you command a great deal of authority, this is not a reflection of your personal worth. We're all equal. Remember this when you're dealing with subordinates. If you want to solve problems, ask the people who are affected by them on a regular basis. Those who are working on the front lines have a more accurate assessment of dilemmas than paid consultants. Show respect for every member of the organisation; their contributions are essential to your own success.

Extreme viewpoints will alienate you from the crowd. It's fine to develop a unique belief system, but don't expect everyone else to jump on board or even understand you. When it comes to sensitive topics like religion and politics, remain silent. You don't want to create controversy. It's fine to talk about these subjects when you're with fellow believers. If you want to achieve success in your career, it's best to fly beneath the radar. Potential employers are looking for people who don't let their personal views undermine business.

Be careful with your financial resources. Although you're flush with cash now, an emergency could wipe out savings. It's best to put extra money into reserve, just in case. Are you planning on taking a trip? Put yourself on a budget. It's easy to lose track of spending while travelling. Staying within the parameters of a budget will result in a peaceful homecoming. The relaxing effects of your holiday will soon vanish if you come home to a mountain of bills.

You're tired of deferring to a commanding business or romantic partner. Asserting your own needs will require courage. It's better to force a confrontation than swallow your emotions. The sooner you stand up for yourself, the easier it will be to project an air of confidence. Your self-assurance will help you land a steady job that involves lots of travel. Getting paid to see the world will be a welcome change to being rooted to the same spot. Spread your wings and fly.

It's important to take safety precautions. Equipment like goggles and helmets and gloves aren't stylish, but they can save you a trip to hospital. Be sensible and throw vanity to the wind. A romance could blossom between you and someone from a different generation. Some people will raise their eyebrows at this relationship, but it feels just right to you. Are you already in a relationship? Plan an exciting trip with your amour. You'll enjoy visiting a country famous for its blend of cultures.

This isn't a good time to take gambles. It's better to conserve your existing resources. Investing in a business deal, buying lottery tickets or bearing your soul will result in disappointment. It's understandable that you crave excitement, but pursuing it now will result in a big loss. Don't worry; there will be better opportunities to expand your income and find love. For now, focus on enjoying what you have. This will be much more fulfilling than being victim to cravings.

An expensive repair demands your attention. It's no longer possible to patch this problem together with spare materials. If it's too costly to fix a plumbing or electrical problem, be ready to relocate. Finding a more secure place to live is critical to your wellbeing. Spread the word on social media. A relative or neighbour will hear of the perfect living situation for you. Although it's never fun to pack up and move, it's better than remaining in an unsafe environment.

Faulty equipment will cause delays. It will take time for a utility or repair company to remedy the problem. Try not to dwell on this setback. Turn your attention to mundane tasks like returning messages, paying bills and tidying your surroundings. It can be therapeutic to break away from your daily routine. If you've become overly dependent on technology, think of ways to become more self-reliant. A few simple changes can improve your quality of life. Modern ways aren't necessarily the best ones.

Engaging in underhanded business practices will come back to haunt you. Don't let a persuasive customer prompt you to undercut costs or give away products for free. Word will inevitably spread of your decision, causing problems with your supervisor. Enforce the rules, even if it means having an argument with a dissatisfied client. Nothing will undermine your professional reputation than giving preferential treatment to personal acquaintances. Anyone who tries pressuring you into granting favours is being selfish and disrespectful.

A headstrong attitude is undermining your professional success. Sometimes it's better to give in gracefully than continually strive to swim against the current. Nobody will blame you for following an inane policy. It's clear that things would be different if you were making the decisions. If you're looking for another job, apply to large institutions like government agencies, hospitals and universities. Such employers not only offer steady work, but good benefits like retirement plans and tuition reimbursements.

Don't get drawn into a behind the scenes power struggle. If you're seen as contributing to underhanded techniques, people will become suspicious of you. Tell them to their face if you oppose something a person says or does. Pretending to be friends with an enemy is the ultimate hypocrisy. Someone who respects your willingness to challenge authority will ask for a date. You're never more attractive than when you're taking a stand. Remember this the next time you're reluctant to speak out.

An organisation is coming apart at the seams. There are simply too many big egos involved. Instead of trying to maintain order, it would be better to look for a more functional organisation. There is power in numbers, but only if the team is pulling in the same direction. The key to any group's success is good leadership. When the person in charge is receptive to its members and clear about their goals, everyone benefits. If an egomaniac is at the helm, the centre will not hold.
