The day is bursting with energy, giving us the motivation and enthusiasm needed to move forward with plans, ideas and projects. We’re encouraged to think big and be bold rather than giving into self-doubt or entertaining self-limiting beliefs. At the same time, we should be thoughtful about our choices and decisions. Taking calculated risks instead of rushing headfirst into a decision will ensure that we achieve the best outcomes. Learning how to balance creativity with practicality will enable us to reach our goals.
