When you encounter a self-centered person who just loves showing off, keep in mind that they’re probably acting that way in order to hide some serious insecurities, so try to have some compassion for them. Approach them with kindness and empathy instead of challenging their behavior and turning other people against them. You will go a lot further by being sensitive to their insecurities than you will by giving them a hard time.

Keep to yourself early today and focus on your work. By evening you’ll be ready for some social interaction. Put on your dancing shoes and have fun!

If you’re not getting the reaction you want from your lover, try a different approach. When you find the right way to reach them, you’ll be amazed by how well they respond.

Why wait? You can instigate changes in your spending habits right now. It’s not the most convenient time to begin, but you have more to gain than to lose by starting now. He who hesitates is lost — and so is their money.
