Nagging worries may prevent you from bringing up a sensitive topic. Perhaps you're afraid how the people in question will react. Maybe you want to preserve the illusion of harmony. Whatever your reason for keeping silent, you will soon learn that it is futile to avoid these issues. Spend today developing a strategy for addressing your problems in a productive way. This will make you feel less powerless.

Finding the necessary resources to launch plans may be more difficult than you realise. If you meet with initial resistance, don't give up hope. You can possibly find a less expensive means to execute your plans. Sometimes the greatest rewards arrive after overcoming the largest obstacles. Just don't pin all of your hopes on one person or organization. Look for financing in every nook and cranny, no matter how improbable.

You may not get the excited reception you anticipate from an authority figure. It's possible that your ideas are ahead of their time. Although it's difficult to accept rejection with good grace, it's important to conduct yourself with dignity. Throwing a tantrum won't do anything to further your cause. With a little finesse, you can sell your idea to somebody who is more receptive to your innovative thinking.

You're not in the mood to expose yourself to new ideas or unfamiliar environments. Unfortunately, circumstances may demand that you branch out a little. Complaining will only make the situation worse. By doing your best to put forth a good performance, you could impress somebody who is in a position to help you with a personal project. Look at the day's challenges as a means to get you from one place to the next.

It may be difficult to make friends with someone who has just entered your social circle. There's a chance that the person in question thinks that you are frivolous or insincere. That's because they can't understand your natural exuberance for life. Rather than forcing yourself on this character, resume your regular activities. In time, this newcomer will realise that you're not only genuine, but a substantial friend as well.

Despite all of your efforts, you may find it impossible to impress an authority figure. Although you are undeniably skilled, your superior may be looking for a worker with more leadership potential. You can go out of your way to prove your worth in this area, or you might consider looking elsewhere for a better position. The choice is up to you. The important thing is to reclaim your power.

A pessimistic outlook could make it difficult for you to get along with your colleagues. Folks don't like to be told that all of their efforts are futile. If you really feel strongly that your work environment is unhealthy and defeating, you should exit it immediately. If you're just in a bad mood, make an effort to be pleasant. By the end of the day, your smiles won't be so forced.

A disagreement with a loved one could put you in an ill temper all day if you're not careful. It's important to apologise before you go to sleep, or your resentment will continue to grow. You do have a tendency to lash out when you're provoked. By admitting this weakness, your partner may be more apt to take a gentler approach with you. In the final analysis, you're probably both at fault here.

Unsympathetic attitudes from family members could make you feel shut out in the cold. If you examine the way you've behaved, though, you'll see that you've created many of your own problems. Adjusting your attitude will renew your loved ones' affections and help you past the troubles that have been plaguing you. Fortunately, you're not afraid to be honest with yourself. Live up to your reputation as a fair, principled person.

Sometimes it doesn't pay to help others, and this is one of those times. A stubborn colleague may insist on doing things their own way, even to the detriment of everyone else. Advising an authority figure of this person's uncooperative behaviour may be the only way to remedy the situation. You don't like being a tell-tale, but it's better than putting up with abuse and inefficiency. You may have more supporters than you realise.

Worrying over finances can defeat any joy that could otherwise brighten your life. At some point, you have to recognise that money won't solve all of your problems. By pausing to enjoy the simpler pleasures in life, you'll be better able to attract the lucrative opportunities you need. A positive attitude makes a huge difference when everything around you threatens to grow dark. Consider this to be a test of your character.

Your emotions could have an adverse effect on your productivity right now. It's hard to be efficient when you have such a heavy heart. Rather than putting your nose to the grindstone, do something nice for yourself. Go for a massage, rent a funny movie, or order in your favourite food. Small, comforting gestures like these make you realise that life isn't always a struggle. Be your own best friend.
