You may naturally feel comfortable unleashing controversial topics as part of your identity.

You don’t mind making others feel uncomfortable, especially if you believe you are saying what must be said. You may think that you need to be a dramatic catalyst for change and so aren’t afraid to shake things up.

You also may not realize the impact your actions and words have in the long run. You may casually make comments or decisions that have long term ramifications that you are hardly consciously aware of in the moment.

When the dust settles, you’ll look at how the cataclysmic changes you set into motion have benefitted you or others and will laugh it off as if you meant to do that.

Yet you don’t always realize how much damage is done when you slip on the proverbial banana peel and take down the whole table setting with you.

Instead of standing at the crossroads refusing to accept some aspect of your destiny, try to balance your need for control and your need to be flexible.

You may avoid facing a major life challenge because it threatens your ambition. Yet you may come to find that this turning point was exactly the catalyst you needed to bring your ambition to reality in the first place.
