People outrank possessions today, so give priority to your relationships. If you have a chance to make more money or score some points with the boss, weigh it against the needs of the people you love. And if it cuts into your private life too much, try to make other arrangements. Don’t sacrifice your personal achievements for the sake of someone else’s bottom line. Money and accolades are nothing compared to personal growth and emotional fulfillment.

Try to refrain from adding undue conflict to your life simply because things are going so well. You shouldn’t feel like you have to sabotage a great relationship because you fear getting hurt first. Be patient and let trust develop at its own pace.

A fresh start is in the cards if you and your partner are both equally committed to making some changes. It might not be easy at first, but your current efforts will really put your joint future in place.

It might not be a good time to apply any way out ideas, but you can certainly enjoy tossing a few out for consideration. You may get more laughs than dividends, especially among friends.
