You may be feeling down to earth today which could mean that you might be employing your common sense when making decisions related to your personal resources. Taking a more practical approach to things might be a way for you to feel like you have more control over the direction in which you wish your life to head. Perhaps you can use this time to set up a plan to think about what your short, intermediate and long term goals are and how you can apportion your resources to meet those goals. Should you notice any sense of fear of what the future may bring or discomfort arise as you think about this, try to remind yourself that whatever positive steps you can take today can help you design a more productive life tomorrow.

Breaking up our plans into different time frames allows us to think about how we can use what we have in the moment to be more effective over the long term. When making choices that affect our lives, it can be really easy to just think about our most immediate future. If we take a more proactive approach, however, and step out the process a little more carefully, we will have a much greater hand in our future and will be more prepared for whatever may happen along the way. This in turn will make our decisions truly work for us. Being realistic but forward-thinking today will put your dreams within closer reach.
