It’s the ideas that are really out there that are the ones people will pay the most attention to right now, so think big – and outside the box! Whether you and your friends are trying to come up with a great plan for the weekend, you and your co-workers are trying to solve a complex business problem, or you and your partner are just trying to add some fire to your romance, let your imagination run wild. It could lead you to some very wonderful and unique places.

Your words – spoken or typed – have quite an impact now. It’s not all about volume either. Quieter can be better, and less (if it’s funny, smart, flirtatious) can definitely be more.

No matter how long you’ve been with your partner, there are always new things to learn about them. Ask them about what they liked to do as a kid. It will be interesting to find out how much they’ve changed or stayed the same.

Everyone around you is moving at a snail’s pace. If this were a year ago, it would be a welcome break. But as it is, letting people move at the pace they want is getting old. It’s up to you to give the whole process a nudge.
