You’ve lived life long enough to know that nothing (and no one) is perfect. So why are you holding yourself to such an impossibly high standard? What you have right now, what you’re doing right now, and (most importantly) who you are right now is good enough! Cut yourself some slack. If you spend all your time wishing you had more, the Universe might take away what you do have. Be grateful for the fact that you have room to improve.

A friend tries to start a fight today. Watch your temper, but don’t give in. Think about what’s most important. When things have cooled down, talk with them. Someone takes notice of your calm.

Don’t be too critical of yourself or your partner today. Focus on the things that are working, and worry about your shortcomings at another time. You may find they’re not so important after all.

The message you’re giving is, go ahead, treat me like your doormat. But that’s your own sneaky way of getting someone over the threshold. Which of you is the chum and which of you is the shark remains to be seen, but you both deserve to be skewered.
