Why is it that when something you want comes to you, you are not excited? Yet when it was a faraway, maybe someday, tiny possibility you felt so animated about the prospect that it could happen. Pig month is bringing that something you want. What you need to do, is to make sure that you still want it before you start pursuing the next thing you want.
If you are constantly chasing after new dreams then you miss out on enjoying what does turn up.
There is the thrill of the chase and the anticipation of might happen. Whilst these feelings are exhilarating, they are not good substitutes for the deeper feelings of contentment that come with being happy with what you have. Being ambitious is a positive character trait, but being overly ambitious makes it difficult to feel satisfied with all the great things that have come your way already. Take some time to count all the blessings in your life, starting with the simple things you might not notice. As you go about your day from waking up until you go to sleep at night, observe what life has brought you and truly appreciate all the good things.
Love
You might well be right, but that doesn’t give you the right to just say so without so much an explanation. If your other half already knew you had all the answers, they wouldn’t need to be asking you in the first place. Be a little less irritated by life’s minor hiccups and enjoy being in a couple. Single Monkeys be relaxed around new people.
Career
Being put on the spot turns out to be a good opportunity for you to show how well you can think on your feet. Contacts and colleagues could well be impressed by your quick wit but don’t hang around under the spotlight for longer than necessary and cut your performance before you run out of things to say.
Money
Don’t make yourself miserable over small amounts of cash. If you felt you didn’t get the best price when you made your acquisition, compared to now, remember you have had the benefit of having the goods available since. If you are endlessly comparing then there is nearly always a better deal round the next corner, and how will you ever get round to buying anything?
