Contrary to what you feel you are not sliding backwards. If anything, you’re gearing up for a remarkable transformation – and it’s all for the best!
People’s high expectations make you nervous. Draw strength from the faith that they have in you and you may even surpass them.
You have greater pull than you think so keep pushing for the changes you feel are right and you’ll wind up getting most (if not everything) you want.
