Your sharp wit and easy demeanor can surprise you today. As a result, you may find yourself drawn to activities that allow you to exercise your mental flexibility and intellectual agility, such as lively debates or conversations in which charged topics are the focus. Your ability to offer bright and quick retorts to others' ideas or opinions will likely give you the confidence to be more outgoing in the future. Even if the notion of challenging someone else's assumptions might leave you feeling uncomfortable, you may discover today that you derive a great deal of pleasure from the stimulation afforded to you by those who challenge yours.

We can ensure that the intellectual prowess we have so arduously cultivated within ourselves remains always intact by exercising our minds frequently through the enthusiastic participation in dialogue and debate. When we share our thoughts and feelings with others in this manner, we not only gain new insight into the thinking patterns of our partners in conversation but we also solidify our own opinions and beliefs during the act of outlining them in words. Our minds grow more nimble and our thoughts more focused when we are called upon to communicate verbally because the process of speaking, which can seem so simple, is actually a form of mental aerobics throughout which we must plan ahead, think critically, and strive for eloquence. You will feel sharp-witted and intelligent today after engaging in a handful of rousing and thought-provoking discussions with people whose intellect you respect.
