Getting involved with a charitable organisation will increase your compassion. Assumptions you made about people will slowly dissolve. As a result, you'll start to look for what you have in common with others, instead of what sets you apart. You'll also notice that your close relationships improve.

A particular lifestyle is no longer rewarding. As a result, you may decide to take a less demanding job. Downsizing your home is another possibility.

Sacrificing too much for the ones you love is a mistake. While your desire to make life more comfortable for your nearest and dearest is admirable, it's causing lots of problems.

You are resentful of oppressive routines. It's time to make a fresh start. Making time for your favourite people and activities might seem dreadfully irresponsible.

This will allow you to be more active and creative. Instead of sitting behind a desk all day, you'll be able to play sports, write music and follow whims.

Exploring a creative idea that seems absurd will be rewarding. If you catch yourself entertaining what appears to be a silly notion, take a second look at it.

Remember this the next time you encounter someone who adopts a different outlook. Most of us are trying to do the best we can with limited information. You're no exception.

An unusual moneymaking opportunity is worth investigating. Expressing your honest opinions for pay will be refreshing. People enjoy hearing your responses because they are never predictable.

Don't be surprised if your comments get lots of attention. People are yearning to hear some unique ideas that challenge the status quo.
