Your Week Ahead: There are times when it seems as if the harder we try to do something simple, the more complicated life gets. Yet when we find the courage to tackle a convoluted matter, we suddenly see it is essentially straightforward. We shouldn't ever do something just because it's easy. Nor should we be discouraged just because something looks difficult. If something that ought to be a breeze is turning into a gale, it may be time to take shelter. But first, try letting that wind get into your sails. You could rise surprisingly high.

Your Week Ahead - Love Focus: A lot of people like sad songs and stories. Tales of failure bring a smile to their face. When we hear of others' misfortunes, it can make our own hardship easier to bear. One person does not now seem to share your enthusiasm for a particular idea. Perhaps, instead of trying to play up the potential advantage, you should base a proposition around the painting of a gloomier picture. You can afford to extend emotional trust now, regardless of what line you take. But be aware that someone's pessimism needs to be respected!
