A very demanding person could test your patience today, but you can pass the test with flying colors if you maintain a good attitude. First, don’t take their behavior personally. They are like this with everyone, not just you! Second, focus on what benefit they bring to your life. Understanding why you need to tolerate their behavior will help you get through it. Luckily, their presence in your day will be blissfully brief. You’ll just have to grin and bear it.

Call an older relative today and ask them to share stories from when they were young. Learning how your favorite aunt met her husband will be fun and possibly even inspiring.

When you’re paying attention, you’re great at keeping secrets. So if a friend confides in you and asks you not to tell anyone, stay on your toes. And, yes, your partner counts as someone, so keep those lips sealed.

You should see by now where following the herd has led you. If you’ve managed to stop right before the slaughter, then consider yourself one of the lucky ones. It’s time for some independent thinking.
