Sometimes having restrictions put on you can be a help as opposed to a hindrance. If you’re feeling like your hands are tied, don’t struggle against it. Accept the limits put on you because they’ll spark your creativity and force you to get even more innovative than you usually are. Necessity is the mother of invention, and you’re entering a situation where you need to get things done! This will be a very productive and fulfilling period of your life.

Try communicating nonverbally today. It’s amazing what silence can convey. This newfound quietude will freak everyone out, especially those who know you well. Let ’em keep talking. You’re staying quiet as a monk for the time being.

You’re about fed up with this behavior. Who’s the culprit, you or your partner? That’s not important. Are you ready to speak up? If not, do some work on your own. Write in your journal or talk it out with a friend.

You can’t expect everyone to respond positively to your pitch. Not only is that idealistic, but imagine how boring life would be. Live for the challenge in it and not just the profit. You’ll find that both end up more rewarding that way.
