Talented And Inventive
Sagittarius Daily Horoscope
You may be feeling adept and skillful today as you observe your success in business or other endeavors. You may have a talent for the work you do, but you also may be applying your own brand of inventiveness to any situation to come up with plans that are clever and fresh. Hopefully you realize that these same skills can be put to use to create wonderful results in all areas of your life. They can also allow you to go to charity organizations and assist others who need help raising funds or awareness. As you acknowledge your skills and talents today, you can look for new and different ways to make the most of them.
The more successful we are in business, the more we should donate our time to organizations that do good work for the less fortunate of the world. Many of these are nonprofit organizations that may not be able to pay people of your talent on a scale that would entice them to make it their sole income. With your financial success secured elsewhere, you can donate your time to help them generate the level of success you have found. Donating money is always helpful too, but teaching others how to do what you do makes it possible for them to create more than a mere donation would cover. Today you can give back to the world by finding ways to apply your talent to helping others.

Quality vs. Quantity
Focused Value
by Madisyn Taylor
It is not the quantity of time that matters, but the quality that you experience during each moment.
We live in an age of quantity. The media shapes us with the notion that larger, faster, and more are often synonymous with better. We are told that we need to find more time, more possessions, and more love to be truly happy. A smaller quantity of anything that is high in quality will almost always be more satisfying. A single piece of our favorite chocolate or a thin spread of freshly made preserves can satisfy us more than a full bucket of a product that we aren't very fond of. Similarly, one fulfilling experience can eclipse many empty moments strung together. It is not the quantity of time that matters, but the quality that you experience during each moment. Every minute is an opportunity to love yourself and others, develop confidence and self-respect, and exhibit courage.
Ultimately, quality can make life sweeter. When you focus on quality, all your life experiences can be meaningful. A modest portion of good, healthy food can nourish and satisfy you on multiple levels and, when organically grown, nourish the earth as well. Likewise, a few hours of deep, restful slumber will leave you feeling more refreshed than a night's worth of frequently interrupted sleep. A few minutes spent with a loved one catching up on the important details about family, work, or community can carry more meaning than two hours spent watching television together.
Often, in the pursuit of quantity we cheat ourselves of quality. Then again, quantity also plays a significant role in our lives. Certain elements, such as hugs, kisses, abundance, and love, are best had in copious amounts that are high in quality. But faced with the choice between a single, heartfelt grin and a lifetime of empty smiles, most would, no doubt, choose the former. Ultimately, it is not how much you live or have or do but what you make of each moment that counts.
