You may find yourself pursuing your aims unrelentingly today. If your quest for success has been marked by ambivalence in the past, this may be the day your determination matures and compels you to embark upon a journey of personal discovery that promises to result in rich rewards. While the path to achievement is often a solitary one, worldly affairs or professional circumstances may require you to compete with others for promotions, social status, or financial gains. You'll likely accomplish more when you devote your attention to the goal you aspire to achieve rather than to your opponents and the progress they make. If you allow the spirit of competition to energize and motivate you today, your progress will be as unrelenting as your ambition.

Competition can energize you because it compels you to stay focused on your goals regardless of the challenges or setbacks you face. When our talents and skills are pitted against the assets of another, we often find ourselves inspired to make productive use of our time and resources. Your determination to effectively utilize every opportunity that comes your way will ensure that your energy expenditures are thoughtful and that you are enthusiastic about exploring new avenues of progress. And you'll be more apt to rest regularly when competing as you will recognize how periods of relaxation can positively affect your intellectual and physical prowess. You'll face roadblocks with poise today, as your cache of enthusiasm and your sense of purpose is replenished by the spirit of competition.
