If literally everyone likes you, you probably haven’t said what you actually think yet.

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Universal approval usually means you have been agreeable rather than present. Every real position costs you somebody, because positions have edges, and edges catch on people who see things differently. Being liked by everyone is less proof of charm than proof that nobody has met the part of you with opinions. It is a comfortable place, and a slightly lonely one.

Say one honest thing this week that you would normally soften into nothing. Not to be difficult. Just to find out who is agreeing with you rather than with the blank space you have been offering them.
