Don’t turn up your nose at something that looks like it’s beneath you because it could be a golden opportunity in disguise. Sniff it out.
One should never lie, but there’s a way that you can be economical with the truth without having to give away the game.
Just because others don’t feel things to the same degree, doesn’t mean they don’t care. You’re more intense than most. A little lightness in your seriousness isn’t so bad.
Lead the conversation where you want it to go, but don’t explain too much. People absorb more when left to fill in blanks for themselves.
Shooting down suggestions isn’t the way to convince people that you’re being open-minded. That can only be done by listening.
You cross a major threshold. It’s tempting to stop and fret (new beginnings make you nervous), but soldier on. You’ll like what’s next.
