Is someone’s generous gift causing you to feel guilty? Do you worry that you don’t truly deserve the praise (or the price tag)? Set your guilt aside and learn how to accept the things that people give to you. Thank them and then move on. Whether you personally think you deserve it or not isn’t really relevant. They wanted to do this for you, and it made them feel good to do it. If you protest too much, you’ll only end up making them feel self-conscious.

A new person in your social network might be the key to meeting the person of your dreams. Insinuate yourself into their life and maybe you’ll get to meet their friends.

The world’s your oyster, and you ought to be prying it wide open right about now. Sharing your inspiration and excitement with your certain someone reminds them just how amazing it is to be with you.

It goes without saying you’re worth more than you’re getting, but don’t express that just now. Take your cues from those around you, if not the world around you. Stuff the impulse to ask for a raise, even if it drives you crazy.
