You could be more assertive than usual today, which might be because you feel the need to defend the rights of others. Wanting to protect other people may be due to your desire to take care of everyone around you. While this can be healthy, perhaps today you might want to reflect upon your reasons for defending others when they are capable of taking care of themselves. Should you have a need to protect someone else, you may want to think about what it is you have to gain. If you know that you will receive praise, for example, you can ask yourself why that is so important to you and maybe even think about ways in which you can give that to yourself. Understanding your motives for helping others could allow you to give them what they truly need rather than fulfilling your own desires. Having the right motives for taking care of and protecting others means that when we do help, we are doing so out of a sincere desire to foster their best interests. There are probably many times when we feel that defending people will bring us something positive, such as praise or loyalty, when in fact these things never manifest themselves in the ways we desire. Truly supporting someone means that we do so from a place of pure intent and hope for nothing in return. By thinking about your intentions today, your protection of others will come from your true heart-centered desire to help.
