Are you feeling a bit distracted by your inner turmoil today? That’s only natural. After all, you can’t help but let personal issues affect your professional life every once in a while. If you’re having trouble at home or in a relationship, you’re going to be distracted during. But what you can do is try to focus on the right things at the right time. Toward that end, avoid replying to personal e-mails or making personal calls today.

Dwelling on someone’s imperfections just blows them out of proportion, and that goes for you, too. Besides, being flawless is boring. Learn to appreciate the quirks of someone’s personality.

Are you unconsciously trying to lower your expectations so you won’t be disappointed? Hey, it’s good to be realistic, but don’t talk yourself down. You and your partner have a real shot at the brass ring.

The kind of accomplishments you’re proud of aren’t the kind that will impress others, or even make a dent in your finances. But you’re proud of yourself just the same. Appreciate the little things in life even when others don’t.
