While feeling over-assertive could dominate your emotional palette today, you may find greater peace by tempering your emotions. Anger directed toward you can result if you attempt to control the people around you or are overly pushy about your expectations and demands. Realizing that you can't always get what you want and that your way isn't the only way can help you relate to, and compromise with, those around you. It's unlikely that you will be tempted to take control if you stay committed to seeking courses of action, schedules, or ideas that everyone can agree upon. Today can be a great day to take the needs of your colleagues, friends, family, and associates into account as you formulate your plans.

Understanding that your desires might not always encapsulate what is best for those around you can help you make positive choices that benefit everyone. While not getting your way can be disappointing, the knowledge that you are contributing to a greater good can ease those feelings. When you take others into consideration while making decisions, you acknowledge that the people around you have needs and are worthy of respect. As you dismiss options that benefit only yourself, you may come across one that fulfills everyone's needs. Choose to find uniformly beneficial solutions instead of assuming control today, and you'll create the best circumstances for everyone.
