Your susceptibility to the suggestions and advice of others may be heightened today. Even if you do not agree entirely with the guidance you receive from outside sources, you may nonetheless feel obligated to take it to heart so as not to offend or hurt others. This impressionability may interfere with your ability to meet your day's goals, however. Consider that you should make a point of looking more deeply at the counsel you receive, no matter what its origin. You may feel driven to ask others for their opinions today, but try not to forget that their unique experiences and worldviews will more than likely color the recommendations they offer.

We can ensure that we are not unduly influenced by the people with whom we share our environments by striving always to be somewhat credulous in the face of potentially erroneous information. This does not mean we should distrust others as a matter of course. Rather, we should make an effort to consider facts carefully whenever the seed of doubt is planted in our minds. Our investigation of the topic at hand may unearth data others were unaware of, and we may come to a conflicting conclusion as a result. We not only provide ourselves with an advantage in conversation when we do all we can to be sure of the validity of information before us--we also serve as an agent of the truth, facilitating the passage of candid facts. You will be less receptive to the influence of others today when you internalize your dedication to frankness and sincerity.
