You need to cultivate good fitness habits if you're going to fulfil your potential. An energetic person like you can't sit behind a desk all day without feeling tired and irritable. Work half an hour of exercise into each day. Doing yoga in the morning, walking on your lunch hour, or jogging after work are all good ways for you to stay in shape. Choose an activity that satisfies you on a spiritual level.

Making a contribution to people who are less fortunate than you can open unexpected doors. You may find volunteer work fills a hole in your heart. Although you've always enjoyed luxury, you have a hard time enjoying it when others are doing without. Donating your time or money will make you feel better about pampering yourself. You may want to ask a child to get involved; it will be a good bonding experience.

Sometimes you get all excited about victories before you've even achieved them. Instead of telling everybody about your exciting new plans, focus on executing them first. Write down a list of steps you need to take, and then give yourself deadlines to reach each goal. You have all the energy and enthusiasm necessary to become a success. Now it's time to cultivate discipline. Don't worry, you can do it.

Resist the urge to overwork your body, even if the finish line is within sight. You won't be able to enjoy the fruits of your labour if you're totally exhausted. Pause to take small breaks, especially when you feel hungry. You're the type of person who loves taking care of others at the expense of your own health. Don't make the same mistake today, or you could inflict damage. Slow and steady wins the race!

Financial limitations could prevent you from pursuing an education in the way you'd like. However, if you make a few small amendments to your plan, you can achieve the same results. Studying part-time or taking a second job are both avenues you can take to fund your education. True, you won't have as much free time to study, and you may graduate a bit later, but that's better than giving up altogether.

You may have to choose between indulging yourself or improving somebody else's life. Being the service oriented person you are, you're apt to choose the second option. Don't let this stop you from enjoying small pleasures, though. Just because you don't have as many resources doesn't mean you can't enjoy trips to the library, museum, or park. You'll be far more helpful to others when you attend to your own spiritual needs.

A business or romantic partner may be trying to control you from behind the scenes. Fortunately, you're too smart to give in to their manipulations. Ask this person for some space if you feel uncomfortable making decisions in their presence. If your other half won't let up, you may want to break off the relationship. You can't abandon your good judgment just to make somebody else comfortable. Think for yourself.

Achieving security is a matter of developing your own talents and skills. There's no set formula for creating stability. What works for your friends may not help you. Keep this in mind when you're trying to decide between a job you love and a position that pays lots of money. You're more apt to be successful when you're engaged in activities you really enjoy. Turn a deaf ear to conventional thinking.

You have lots of dreams and hopes for a loved one, but be careful. The person in question may not share your aspirations. If that's the case, you need to back off and give your friend some space. This is especially important if you're dealing with a child. Forcing them to act out your childhood wishes will only create resentment. You're better off encouraging your young friend to develop and pursue their own interests.

You can achieve lofty goals through sheer determination, much to the admiration of onlookers. Beware of assuming projects just to impress the public. You'll be much better off devoting time to the activities and subjects you love. If people don't understand your passions, that's their problem. What will probably happen, though, is they will appreciate you even more when you march to the beat of your own drummer.

Convincing people to put their faith in you shouldn't be a problem. What you need to do now is convince yourself this; you are capable of doing a good job. Too often you give your inner critic free reign over your life. This must stop. Otherwise, you won't take the chances you need to become a success. The next time you hear a nagging voice, recite a positive affirmation aloud. Be your own cheerleader!

Don't feel like you have to give in to other people in order to win their approval. The fact is, you'll be much more apt to get their respect by standing your ground. A pushy character may try to lay a guilt trip on you. If this happens, refuse to get pulled in. After all, you've gone out of your way in the past to make others feel comfortable. It's time they returned the favour.
