Don't be tempted to cut corners. By playing by the book, you'll avoid legal trouble. Are you being pressured to engage in underhanded activity by one of your superiors? File an official report. If that's not an option, start looking for a position elsewhere. You have more power than you realise. By digging yourself out of this situation, you'll land in a much better position. Look for jobs that want innovators. A pioneer like you fares best in companies that reward visionaries.

It's hard not to envy someone who is making lots of money for very little effort. Beware of letting feelings of jealousy eat away at you. If you're going to enjoy the same level of wealth, you must adopt a joyous attitude. Start thinking about ways you'd love to earn a living. Imagine your bank balance going through the roof. Carry yourself like someone who doesn't worry about an overdrawn bank account. Happiness is a powerful magnet for wealth.

You're reluctant to let down your guard, fearing others will take advantage of your vulnerability. This closed attitude is creating problems. Instead of making allies, you're creating resentment. Take a second look at the people around you. Some of them have earned your trust. Being more forthcoming about your hobbies and interests will pave the way to some helpful friendships. You might want to draw the line about giving people access to your social media profile. Some information should be limited to your nearest and dearest.

Morale is low at work and it's affecting your performance. If you don't think there's any hope for an improvement, start looking for another opportunity. You've been blessed with impressive leadership ability. Taking a managerial position will be refreshing. If you lack the necessary experience, don't worry. You're a fast learner who will quickly absorb all you must know. People are undoubtedly impressed by your emotional intelligence and will give you a chance to impress them.

It's important to set high standards for behaviour. A child or romantic partner who has been acting out should be confronted. If you keep ignoring this behaviour, disaster will strike. You don't like policing other people, but it's better than encouraging manipulative outbursts. It's also important to serve as a role model for your nearest and dearest. Nobody can accuse you of being a hypocrite when you live by your own moral code. When you set an admirable example, others will follow.

Don't be too preoccupied with the work your family wants to perform. When it comes to your career, you must follow your own heart. If this means entering an industry that doesn't pay a great deal of money, so be it. It's more important to be happy than flush with cash. Your partner may be dismayed that someone with your contacts and ability opts for a job in the non-profit arena. Hold your ground. This is your life and you should fill it with the activities that make you happy.

The best way to earn people's respect is to acknowledge their abilities. Everybody has something to bring to the table. Never act superior to anyone in the group, even when you have more experience and knowledge in a certain area. At some point, you will encounter a problem you can't solve. When this happens, you'll need the help of someone who knows how to perform the job. That's why it's so important to make friends at every level of the organisation.

Trying to live up to someone else's expectations is an exercise in futility. It's better to do the best you can and be content with the results. You're not the type to rest on your laurels. Whenever you see a chance to improve, you take it. When you change yourself for someone else's benefit, things fall apart. You lose sight of your dreams, hopes and desires. Anyone who doesn't appreciate your authentic self isn't worth your time. Be proud of all you have accomplished.

You dislike making compromises, but it is sometimes necessary. Someone who is in a position of power can give what you want, but only if you do them a favour. By doing this one small thing, you'll be able to meet a cherished goal. You're a highly principled person who dislikes making these concessions. Realistically, you won't be able to move forward until you're willing to play this manipulative game. This is one situation when it's better to bend than break.

Listening to hard luck stories makes you sad. It's difficult to contemplate how much pain is being experienced all over the world. When current events threaten to make you despondent, immerse yourself in joyful activities. Listen to music, play games with friends and spend quality time with your pets. Slowly but surely, you'll be reminded of the beauty that surrounds you each day. Instead of looking at humanity with despair, you'll recognise the millions of wonderful people who redeem the planet.

Don't feel pressured to give away all your possessions. Although you have a great deal more than most people, you have always shared your resources. When these blessings become burdens, it's time to adjust your focus. Take time to enjoy your favourite things. If you have a collection, display it prominently. Every time you catch sight of these possessions, they will give you a lift. The next time you feel guilty about being prosperous, donate your time and energy to a charitable organisation.

You have an opportunity to climb the ladder of success, but you're not sure you will take it. You've created a comfortable life with few demands. The thought of managing people and assuming more responsibilities seems unpleasant. Stop selling yourself short. You've been blessed with considerable talent. Shine it to a fresh brilliance. It will take time to get used to this role, but you will eventually come to enjoy it. Give yourself an extra push; it's critical to your personal growth.
