You might feel that you have to keep your ego in check during negotiations, which may leave you feeling impatient both with yourself and with others today. It might be that you think you know what is right, but you feel frustrated knowing that if you assert your opinions your ideas might backfire. Letting go of your need to be perfect and correct could help you feel more comfortable with other people's ideas and less attached to your own. Should you start to feel intolerant today you can imagine that you are a flower opening up to receive the sun's energy. As you picture this, you might become more aware of the fact that your negotiations are the product of a symbiotic relationship between you and another person--their ideas are also necessary for success.

Seeing ourselves as receptive to others, we lessen the hold our egos have over us and open up to the abundance of ideas that exist in the world. Our desire to be right has more to do with our being afraid that someone else's opinions won't match our own or won't take our needs into account. But if we are not extending the same openness to others, they won't give it to us--sometimes trust and success begins with our laying our ego down on the line first. By acknowledging that others may experience the same sense of impatience with you, you will find it easier to be more receptive and to foster greater understanding in your interactions today.
