Does it feel like while you’ve been taking things at a leisurely pace and enjoying the view everyone else has zoomed ahead of you? Are you convinced that you’re not where you should be in terms of your job, your love life, or your personal development? Don’t panic. Relax. You are doing things in a way that is right for you, and that’s the most important thing. Don’t compare yourself too closely to other people right now. Focus on your own strengths and goals.

If the right people aren’t waiting in line to meet you, it’s time to rethink your approach to romance. Are you just waiting for something to happen? You need to get out there and shake things up instead!

Don’t kill the messenger, especially if your partner delivers the news in all innocence. How were they to know the impact the information would have on you? Give yourself time to process this before you reply.

You’ll get sucked into thinking it’s about relationships when it’s really about business. That’s just what the other side wants you to think and feel. Keep your antennae up.
