Your dedication to your opinions and beliefs can grow into fanaticism today if you are not aware of how your zealousness articulates itself in your speech and mannerisms. You may feel driven to express yourself passionately and without reserve. Yet you may discover that others react to your aggressiveness by refusing to listen to you or taking pains to avoid your company. Regaining your ability to relate to others may be as easy as sharing your intentions before sharing your ideas. When you explain that you are eager to hear alternate beliefs and opinions and that you do not wish to force your thoughts upon others, you'll likely find that people are more willing to listen to what you have to say. The dialogues you participate in today can broaden your horizons and open your mind.

When you clearly articulate your desire to share your opinions and hear the opinions of others, you'll be perceived as open and earnest rather than fanatical. An intense need to express ourselves can lead us to offer our thoughts without first considering whether others are as eager as we are to exchange ideas. Defining your intention in a gentle and respectful way can help you determine whether your conversational partners wish to discuss charged topics or would prefer to keep your dialogue on a lighthearted level. People in the various spheres of your life will appreciate your courteous willingness to listen and discuss your beliefs in a thoughtful and rational way. Others will perceive you as expressive rather than fanatical today when you offer dialogue instead of diatribes.
