What's your sign?

What is your sign? I am a Leo! I deeply thought about what it means to be a Leo in recent years. Don't get me wrong, I love my birthday and I love to celebrate it but I only gave thought to my sign a couple years ago when I worked directly with two other Leo's. We were a strong-willed, strong-minded group!  I looked up Leo and the first thing I read was the figure of the BOLD Lion directly comes to our mind when we think of a Leo. The sign of Leo wants to be seen, just like the sun that rules it, which is why Leo is associated with visibility, attention, courage, generosity, and creative impulses. It's about the giving and receiving of light and energy.  It says my compatible signs are Aries and Sagittarius but I also work well with Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.  Sean is a Cancer and it says it can be challenging to relate to one another. Some truth there, at times! It also says that Leo is bright and bold fixed fire sign of the zodiac.  As such, those born under this sign can teach us to be our most emboldened, regal, and confident selves.    

Seeing the bold comments really makes me smile. Me wanting you to be your most confident, BOLD self is my ultimate goal.  I have said it before, I am big on energy, and what you bring to the table.  I will always remember watching an episode of Oprah years ago and this was what was stated; You are responsible for your own life. You are responsible for the energy that you create for yourself, and you're responsible for the energy that you bring to others.  I loved those words so much and they really made me think.  The next day I made a little poster with those words and I posted it on the bulletin board at work, at least 50 people would see it. Someone wrote and I know who that someone is, thank you Mary Poppins, or something along those lines. Too funny!   

Think about your day.  Think about the people you interact with on a daily basis.  You can immediately identify who brightens your day and you can immediately identify who doesn't.  Someone I work with has said to me recently, you are always so positive, you can always find something positive to say about any situation.  This is somewhat true.  I will give him 92.5% of the time.  There are times as I am human that I am completely worn down and need to pause, regroup, fix my face, and keep it moving.  I feel like the older I get and the more faith I have, I don't sweat the small stuff.  I try to relate to people and understand where they are coming from, from their point of view.  Sometimes I am successful and sometimes I am not, but I try.   

Be mindful of the energy you bring to others.  Are you the person that brightens someone's day or are you sucking the energy out of the room by complaining and being negative? Do you give your best at work but then come home and the energy you bring home is less than desirable?  Your family deserves the BEST of you. I need to work on this a bit more myself.  If you know you need a minute when you walk in the door, communicate that before you project your bad day on your family.  

My sign is about giving and receiving light and energy. I am all about that!  If you have time, do a little research on your zodiac sign and see if you agree with what is written.  I do agree with about 85% of the listed attributes for Leos. I also want to know your sign. I am curious as to who in my world are Aries and Sagittarius, apparently, you are my people!  Comment below or on the Shouldabeenabook FB group.   

Be BOLD, no matter what your sign!
