Fullfillment?

For fulfillment, we need to take our lives off autopilot. We need to consciously decide what we will and will not do, moment by moment. We need to give ourselves the space, support and freedom to be proactive in choosing how we live each day.

"Learn to use ten minutes intelligently. It will pay you huge dividends."

Work smart, not hard

"The whole secret of freedom from anxiety over not having enough time lies not in working more hours, but in the proper planning of the hours."

-- Frank Bettger

We need to commit time to doing the right things for ourselves, and only we can judge what’s right for us. We need to clearly know what we want, and we need to believe we can have it. Having goals in mind, we can avoid the trap of busyness and get right down to business. Efficiency is not nearly as important as effectiveness.

-- William A. Irwin

Leo (July 23 — Aug. 22)

Right now, you can only score small victories and subtle successes, but a chance to turn the tables has arrived thanks to Mars returning to your sign. A shift in the balance of power is occurring. It will bring a welcome return of confidence and strength.

Gemini (May 21 — June 21)

Mars is offering you the requisite speed and ability to get past difficulties swiftly and to hasten progress toward a desired destination. If last week was not a splendid one, you will find this week will more than make up for it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 — Nov. 22)

It seems you have achieved little despite all the effort you have expended, but these small gains will prove, in time, to be very significant. Settle for them and take heart from them. The rest will come soon enough.

Pisces (Feb. 20 — March 20)

Though you may be concerned about your role within a relationship or perhaps within a particular group of people, you need not let this bother you. There is no need to play a part or to adopt a particular position. Just be yourself.
