Immunize yourself against a dangerous case of flakiness that’s making the rounds by ensuring that your communication style is direct and to the point. Others may have a hard time expressing their feelings, which results in lots of time wasting, but you don’t have to let it affect your work. It might help to rehearse what you want to say ahead of time and cut out anything extraneous that could confuse your flightier peers.

Let your conversations run deep today. Move forward fearlessly and make someone’s dream come true. Learn something new about yourself. You only live once, and today is a gift that needs to be unwrapped.

Discipline doesn’t mean overly strict rules, but boundaries should be firmly in place in any relationship to keep hurt feelings to a minimum.

You don’t have to put any effort into getting what you want. It has a way of getting to you. And don’t worry about the cost. Unless room service is involved, consider it a free service.
