Your optimism is legendary. You can find the silver lining in almost any cloud. Unfortunately, there’s one particular person in your circle who can bring you down, make you doubt what you’re doing, and start you wondering if your life is really where you want it to be. Avoid this person, but it doesn’t have to be permanent (they do have an important role to play).

Your honest desire to maintain goodwill among your friends is commendable, but you can’t force them all to get along all the time. Some people don’t mesh well and never will, and that’s okay.

This relationship can change you for the better if you let it. First, though, you have to be ready and willing to make that change. Examine your psyche and clear your soul of all extraneous matter. Prepare for transformation.

If you feel like you’re sitting on a roulette wheel, you’re doing it all wrong. You can’t wait for luck to smile on you. Take control of your finances — and your fortune. You should feel like you’re in the driver’s seat.
