It’s exhausting when your family seem to be constantly at odds with each other. You aren’t going to be able to change a relative’s opinions so why waste any more of your time trying? Instead, focus on building relationships with people who do share your values and opinions.
Minor squabbles and misunderstandings early on should not derail your plans for the day. Taking a diplomatic approach will help a lot in resolving any conflicts. In conversations with a parent or older relative do not be too pushy when trying to get them to understand your perspective.
A senior colleague who admires your skills will offer you a better position. As tempted as you might be by their offer, don’t be reluctant to negotiate a better salary than the one they initially suggest.
Your powerful charisma will help you achieve a better deal. You deserve it.
Someone will request a favour from you that you aren’t comfortable with. Be honest and let them know you would rather not help them out this time.
If they get upset, don’t let this make you feel guilty. If a friend can’t respect your boundaries, they only have their own selfish interests in mind.
Keeping out of the public eye will not help you resolve a conflict. You need to get to the root of the problem and you can only do this by talking about it.
Schedule a meeting with those involved. Being open about the frustrations you feel is more likely to lead to a positive outcome.
Are you looking for something new to get you motivated?
An offer to take on a leadership position should be taken seriously. Leading a team will present its own challenges and this could be just what you need to feel you are doing something worthwhile with your time.
Cultivating a negative mindset can have a detrimental impact on work opportunities. Don’t tell yourself you aren’t ever going to be successful.
Regardless of whether you are unemployed or managing your own business, you need to keep a positive outlook towards future prospects.
Keep going with plans and agreements already in place. If you’re handling financial or travel matters, don’t be tempted to make alterations without consulting other people involved. Making changes at this point could cause confusion.
Take a straightforward approach to business.
Handle financial and legal matters as and when they arise. If a partner is procrastinating on issues that require immediate attention, insist that they make a decision by the end of the day.
You both need to stay on top of everything if you are to prevent future complications.
You have noticed how a partner or best friend has been showing less interest in pastimes you have always enjoyed together.
This makes you feel this relationship could be slipping away. Travel, sports or exploring new joint activities could breathe new life into a friendship.

You have patiently listened to a friend or colleague’s gripes and grumbles. Now their rants are starting to irritate you. They are taking it for granted that you agree with their views when you don’t.
They need to be told you don’t want to know. It is wrong of them to put you through this.
