Then, once you know your direction, you work hard to get your life organised, to... ]]>

And when you do, you're equally alert to both opportunities and flaws. Usually, once you've done this analysis and reorganised things, you tend to assume that they'll remain as they are. That's been the case... ]]>

This is because they... ]]>
By Shelley von Strunckel  Finance, Work and AchievementsWhen you learn that during the year 2009 you'll be reorganising elements of your life, eliminating old goals and setting new ones, it may sound like you're in for a difficult time.
