Today an intense need to be in control can compel you to throw yourself into work or into a personal project so that you can overcome any difficulties that have previously plagued your efforts. Since you are likely caught up in your desire to accomplish your many duties, you may not realize that your relentlessness is coming at a cost. This can be a good time to step back so that you can put your current goals into perspective. Should you find that your labors are not netting you the returns you hoped to see today, ask yourself whether you might accomplish more at a different pace.

To recognize that certain aspects of our development fall outside the range of our conscious control is to give ourselves permission to adjust our pace when our most dogged efforts have ceased to net results. Many people regard resistance as a signal that they are not working diligently enough or are not truly dedicated to the goals they have set. However, much of the resistance we meet in our lives will be the result of our not being attuned to the pace the universe wishes us to follow. When we make the decision to explore our alternatives during periods of little progress, we will often find that there are avenues we have not yet investigated or factors affecting our advancement we have not fully considered. Your obsessive pursuit of progress will cease today when you choose to adhere to the pace that is right for you.
