Exactly how long have you been trying to help a dear one curtail their bad habits? Can you remember? Keep in mind that you’ve been working so diligently at that project that it’s also been a while since you’ve allowed yourself to have any fun. You’ve been trying as hard and, in some cases, harder than they have. Your job now, should you choose to accept it (and you’d better, for your own sake) is to cut them loose. And don’t worry. They’ll manage just fine.

Do friends tease you about your “safe and easy” dating choices? If you don’t take risks, how can you reap the rewards? Try one bold thing today. You’ll be surprised by how easy it is once you get over your initial fear.

Are you getting what you need in this partnership? If you aren’t, it’s time to look at what you can do about that. It might not be a question of what your partner needs to do. Are you taking care of yourself?

Your ambition has cooled. That’s because you’re beginning to see through what motivates you. You need something more meaningful than merely making money to inspire you these days. Look for ways to feel — and be — useful.
