You’re in the middle of a tough situation with a friend or coworker. Tensions are running high, but the ball is in your court. You can create a positive outcome for both of you if you merely take a more positive attitude about this person. No, they aren’t perfect. They might not even be a particularly good person, but that doesn’t matter. In this situation, you have to deal with them. You must be respectful and get through this. Let your true feelings show later when it’s over.

Stop thinking so much about what could have been in old relationships. What’s done is done. Rehashing the past only prevents you from focusing on the present. Live in the now.

Don’t be so convinced that what you two want to happen in this relationship is what actually needs to happen. Why not let the cosmos do the driving? Sit back in the passenger seat and relax for now.

Attention to the details is a must. Others are finally watching. Luck might be on your side if you make a mistake, but you can’t leave your fate in luck’s hands. Do the right thing, and be diligent.
