Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2008, Cancerian. We’re checking up on how well you’re progressing with the challenges you were given near the end of last year. Here’s one of the most important things I hope you’re doing: getting clear about which of the influences in your life encourage you toward mediocrity, and which influences, on the other hand, nudge you in the direction of mastery. There’s a second crucial lesson that’s related to the first: getting clear about which people have low expectations and distorted images of you, and which people, on the other hand, want the best for you and see you for who you really are.

Oh my god he’s not kidding. The end of last year? SUCKED.

And boy howdy did I grok that the lesson was all about mastery vs mediocrity and which people should be in my life.

So many of my own perceptions of myself have gone out the window. I know now that I am very good at what I do in many areas of my life. I am a good communicator, I am a talented, nay, gifted, artist.

Over time they may accumulate into a mass of blind rage that can hurt innocent bystanders, damage your relationships, and tempt you to punch holes in walls. Is there a way to keep this from happening? Yes, there is: It’s my patented Laughing Tantrum Release Therapy, a five-minute ritual that you perform once a week in a private place with no witnesses. For four minutes, you fume, seethe, curse, and yell. For the final 60 seconds, you compel yourself to laugh uncontrollably. This week would be an excellent time to start integrating Laughing Tantrum Release Therapy into your routine.

As part of the arrangement your soul entered into before you were born, you were given the mission to accomplish five specific miracles. Three of these you have not yet even guessed the nature of. Why? For one thing, none of your elders or teachers ever named them for you while you were growing up. Secondly, you have been overly timid about imagining what you’re capable of. That’s the bad news, Cancerian. The good news is that you’re very close to the mystery spot where one of those undiscovered dreams has been moldering.

Oooooh.  Hmmmm, the first two must be sobriety, which is always a miracle for an alcoholic, and hmmmm. I don’t know…
