CAPRICORN (Dec. 21 – Jan. 19)
There’s nothing wrong with high expectations as long as they uplift and inspire you, but when they leave you feeling thwarted and discouraged then you need to think about lowering them. High expectations are no good if they’re always out of reach. That’s when they become a set-up for failure. Now this could be based on a judgmental parent, a skewed concept of success, or you giving more credence to self-criticism than to your creativity. Believe your peers when they praise you for a job well done this week. Otherwise telling yourself that you will never be good enough will eventually become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
