It's a shame that most of us don't have faith in our abilities until we see proof of them. It's also shameful that others don't believe we're capable of something until they see evidence of it. We know what it feels like to surprise somebody who doubted what we knew we could do. Don't be afraid to produce one or two tricks from your sleeve that might impress and possibly shock one or two people!

If you do something while someone watches over your shoulder, it's difficult not to feel like you're monitored or watched intently in case you don't do what you promised. But sometimes, a person will plonk themselves next to us only to watch how we do something because they're intrigued. If you feel under uncomfortable scrutiny now, that may not be for an unpleasant or unwelcome reason.

Brainwaves give the impression of arriving out of the blue. But they are often the product of our subconscious constantly working to come up with an idea or a solution. We know the feeling when a Eureka Moment arrives because our inner voice tells us we've hit the jackpot with the right train of thought. The epiphany you experience now or shortly probably couldn't be better timed!

The reassurance we feel when we discover we were wise not to give up on something is unique. But it can also be a strange mix of relief and foolishness, especially if we know we paid more attention to our heads than our hearts. But the only thing that matters is that we didn't give up. A pleasing result speaks for itself. I think that's something you can relate to now or very soon.

With over seven billion people on this planet, we can't say we're alone at any time. But even when we feel surrounded by people, loneliness can take the form of feeling unsupported. That's often something somebody who tends not to need support feels frequently. Chances are, if someone you know needs support, you're there in a flash. Give someone more time to see how they can help you.

When satnavs work, we wonder what they think they're doing. Why do they take us in a direction we would have never chosen? What does the little device know that we don't? Ah, a bigger picture can be seen from a satellite's advantageous viewpoint. Where an important goal or ambition is concerned, trust the direction you're pushed toward. It isn't the long - or wrong - way.

To do what's fair or what might not be seen as fair in someone's eyes…that is the question. A shared situation or an arrangement could continue indefinitely. But are you drawing 'the short straw'? Does someone benefit more from your efforts than you do from this scenario? Where your support or involvement is concerned, maybe it's worth drawing a line gradually rather than immediately.

If you experience a feeling of deja vu, try to connect with it intriguingly, not defensively. Current circumstances could remind you of something unpleasant or disappointing that you had previously dealt with. But you know you're dealing with a new set of circumstances. You're also armed with more experienced-based wisdom than you were then. So, spot what deserves to be seen optimistically.

You're familiar with that saying about 'babies' and 'bathwater,' aren't you? 'Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater' is an idiomatic expression for an avoidable error. Something good is inadvertently eliminated when trying to get rid of something seemingly bad. Frustration and impatience are certainly your enemies now. Don't allow both to push you to pull the plug on what is so close to a breakthrough!

Efficient people do what's expected of them and focus on clearing the decks here and now. Effective people not only do that but put plans or foundations in place for them to be efficient and effective in the future! You might understandably see the progress you make as tiny, insignificant steps. But you might underestimate how effective your way of doing something really is. Allow that to become clear soon.

In our video-oriented age, a stronger understanding exists now than even a couple of years ago about how to make effective videos. The first rule involves accepting that you have seconds to capture somebody's interest or engagement. Of course, this is nothing new. But if you sense you have a finite window to make a point or get somebody on board with a plan, that principle could come in handy!

Effective leaders know how to motivate people. I know I've left positive mental attitude seminars feeling invincible. A surge of self-belief can transform an average result into a mind-blowing one. You could experience a wave of optimistic, inspired energy if you look beyond what may have been seen as a responsibility or an obligation for too long. Your imagination can help you see the golden nugget of positivity it offers.
