Your network of friends and associates can be a pillar of support today, especially if a pet project of yours has run into difficulty. Your immediate reaction may be one of defeat, but this is the least sensible response. Although holding on to your dreams is motivational, there is little room for idealism now because you have specific tasks that must be handled sooner than later. An objective approach to the obstacles you currently face enables you to pinpoint the most obvious problem and get to work fixing it. Thomas Carlyle wrote, No pressure, no diamonds.
