You’re very close to your coworkers and neighbors. These people, and your friends, often feel like extended family to you. So when someone calls you and sounds rather plaintive, don’t hesitate to use all your intellectual wiles to get the story out of them. They obviously need to talk, or they wouldn’t have contacted you. But some people have trouble accepting help, even when they need it. It’s your job to convince them it’s all right.

Frustration usually pops up when we expect others to behave in a certain way. Remember that you can’t control people. The only one you can master is yourself, so instead of focusing your attention on fixing others, channel it inward.

No matter how weird or complicated things get, you’ll be able to think your way past them. Life can be better for both of you and you’ll hit on the answer a lot more quickly than you think.

It’s easy to get along well with other people. In fact, everyone you meet is in the same good mood you are today. It’s the kind of feeling you would gladly pay for on a regular basis, but it just can’t be bought or sold. Enjoy it while it lasts.
