Your ability to positively impact others by example may be keen today. Since others are likely recognizing your self-assurance and poise, you may find yourself thrust into an official position of authority. Or, if your loved ones or peers are looking to you for motivation and encouragement, you may feel more comfortable than usual unofficially heading up group projects. This can be a wonderful time to share your personal beliefs and ideologies with others. Not all of the people within your sphere of influence, however, may feel comfortable following your lead today. They may change their minds regarding your competence if you stand strong when your ideas are challenged and never waver in your convictions.

Our willingness to stand up for what we know is right can be a boon when we must interact closely with people who are skeptical of our abilities. While we may be tempted to second-guess our decisions when faced with criticism, our confidence will empower us to remain dedicated to the paths we choose. We can opt to take others' analysis of our actions into account when formulating a strategy, or we can thank them for their input and move forward as planned. This projected authoritativeness allows us to demonstrate our copious inner strength and our devotion to our individual ideals. In time, others will come to respect our convictions though they may never share them. You will earn the esteem of your cohorts today when you remain true to your values.
