You could find it easier to be direct with others today. Being able to claim your feelings and express them could be a way for you to gain control over the things that have immediate value for you. The power behind your thoughts could also give you the confidence you need to approach any situation in a positive and even-handed way. Not letting what others say that conflicts with your own ideas bother you could help you maintain the composure you need to be influential and persuasive today. Should someone say something that diverges from your own ideas, you can take a deep breath, listen to his or her ideas, and then search from within for the will to say your feelings honestly. You may find that calling upon the deepest parts of your soul can provide you with the strength you need to be direct, and yet gentle and compassionate at the same time.

Our words have much more power and validity when we are truthful and frank with our feelings. While there may be times when we need to skirt around an issue, our ideas will be much more potent if we remain faithful to how we feel and if we express those feelings candidly. The time and consideration we put into averting what we really think will only make others frustrated with us, which in turn will lessen their desire to be open to what we have to say. By being open and straightforward with your feelings today, your interactions will be much more successful and convincing.
