You may feel particularly persuasive today, whether you are urging a loved one to follow your advice or attempting to direct the course a professional project is taking. As you voice your opinions, you may find that you are suddenly unafraid to contradict others or speak your mind in front of those individuals you might once have found intimidating. Consequently, any lingering insecurity you feel will likely transform into an attitude of maturity. This can be a great time to take on a leadership position at your workplace or in a volunteering capacity. Since you are likely projecting an aura of self-assurance and poise today, your suggestions may draw an immediate and positive response from those in positions of authority.

We can operate effectively in any situation and in the company of a wide variety of individuals when we understand that personal power comes from within. Though society's dictates may tell us that influence is a product of wealth or status, the ability to impact one's environment is earned through confidence and belief in one's self. We can only persuade others to follow our lead when we truly believe that our ideas and ideologies have merit. Therefore, our personal power comes from our willingness to act assertively and share our opinions with others openly. Little can intimidate us when we are certain that we are following a path that will prove ultimately fortuitous to us and to others. Since you believe in yourself today, you will find within you the power to lead others toward awareness.
