Your susceptibility to emotional situations may be intense today, and you may thus find even simple forms of interpersonal interaction to be emotionally and intellectually jarring. If circumstance requires you to spend time with individuals who live vastly different lives from your own, your initial reaction may be a temperamental and judgmental one. Family gatherings, workplace relations, and chance encounters will likely cease to become a source of stress when you transition your focus away from these differences in belief, opinion, and culture. As you learn to relate to others as individuals and to respect their rights to embrace unique personal philosophies today, you will likely have little trouble enjoying the company of loved ones, colleagues, and peers.

We can interact comfortably with a wide range of individuals when we recognize that we will not always see eye-to-eye with others. Though it is tempting to think that such differences will always represent an impediment in our relationships, it is entirely possible to enjoy our encounters with people whose backgrounds and ideologies differ markedly from our own. Accepting this empowers us to compromise when the gulf between our understandings threatens to interfere with our ability to relate to one another. We need only meet others halfway to indicate that we respect and honor their beliefs. Our openness to concession will typically inspire the same tolerance in those whose company we enjoy. Differences will not come between you and your loved ones today when you make acceptance and compromise a part of your relationships.
