It might feel like one of the authority figures in your life is being especially bossy, but did you ever stop to think that maybe they’re pushing you to do better because they believe in you? They aren’t giving you a hard time just to show you that they can. They really do want you to be all you can be. So watch yourself and be careful how you react to what they say. Resist the temptation to fight back, because what they’re doing is the right thing. Follow them.

You need to remain as easygoing as you can today even if it feels like things are falling apart. While your friends and colleagues are panicking, you’re smiling to yourself knowing that this too will pass.

If anyone can learn a lesson from this recent relationship brouhaha, it’s you. Stay focused and apply what you’ve learned from all this fuss and bother. Your attention to the moment will really pay off.

What a difference a day makes. The difference between yesterday and today is stark. Even the promise of making money isn’t enough of a carrot to get you to move past your lingering thoughts and memories and snap out of it. Chalk the day up as a waste and don’t let yourself get too upset about your lack of progress.
