By always aiming high and wanting to do better than you are doing right now, you maintain a healthy and positive ambition. But there’s a lot to be said for staying more grounded, too. Especially right now, when so many people are looking to spend more time with you. They want to know what is going on in your life. Today, prioritize your friends and family, rather than your career. Who cares if your boss won’t like it? It’s more important to please the people who please you.

Make an effort to better understand people you don’t know well. Engage them in conversation or invite them to lunch. The more you chat, the more things you may find you have in common.

When unexpected cash comes your way, don’t let the extra dough slip through your fingers by buying presents for your partner. Take care of expenses like rent and food first.

You’re always focused on something bigger and better than what’s right in front of you. That’s a good way to stay motivated, but a bad way to experience life. Let yourself be caught up in what’s happening in the here and now for a change.
