A persuasive, persistent attitude can have an intense effect on your overall mood today by causing you to become outspoken and passionate about your beliefs. You may feel strongly driven to articulate your own ideas while simultaneously endeavoring to prove others' ideas wrong. Yet your compulsion to incite debate can work against you by driving away those who might otherwise have listened to your convictions. Consider that while others may have little objection to hearing you out, they likely want no part of a cutthroat dispute. Try voicing your beliefs gently and allowing others to pose their questions without becoming combative. Your kind and tolerant approach to the sharing of philosophies can help you attract the audience you desire today while putting everyone you encounter at ease.

When we express ourselves passionately and respectfully, we are more apt to attract the attention of those individuals eager to know more about our ideals. Many people find zeal off-putting and feel threatened by the strength of conviction they see in people with differing beliefs. We can spark the flame of curiosity in such people by endeavoring to modulate our fervor and shun the path of self-righteousness. In conveying the message that we feel strongly about our beliefs yet understand that others may think and feel differently, we help others see that we wish to share rather than convert. As a result, more people are willing to hear what we have to say. The respectful, gentle passion you employ to convey your ideology today will attract an audience willing to entertain your thoughts.
