So today when I saw my horoscope, I thought, ah, of course, that would be one &#8211; stubbornness. My mother was want to say that she would do the opposite of what someone told her because she just hated to be told what to do. Often times, this wasn&#8217;t exactly the best decision on her part. For my part, I am stubborn, but usually it&#8217;s about going forward &#8211; I tend to persevere because I am unwavering in my direction. This is good and bad, depends on the day and the way you flip the coin.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\">January 23, 2011<\/h4>\n<ol style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\">\n<li style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; list-style-type: none; list-style-position: initial; list-style-image: initial; border-top-width: initial; border-right-width: initial; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: none; border-top-color: initial; border-right-color: initial; border-bottom-color: #f5f0f6; border-left-color: initial; margin: 0px;\">\n<h5 style=\"padding-top: 1em; padding-right: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal; margin: 0px;\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #255ca1;\" href=\"http:\/\/shine.yahoo.com\/astrology\/taurus\/daily-overview\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 1em; border: 0px initial initial;\" title=\"Taurus (4\/20-5\/20)\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/us.i1.yimg.com\/us.yimg.com\/i\/us\/ast\/gr\/icons_taurus.gif?w=640\" alt=\"Taurus\" \/><\/a><a style=\"text-decoration: none; color: #255ca1;\" href=\"http:\/\/shine.yahoo.com\/astrology\/taurus\/daily-overview\/\">Taurus\u00a0<em style=\"font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;\">(4\/20-5\/20)<\/em><\/a><\/h5>\n<p style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\">\n<p style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\">It&#8217;s not exactly true that you&#8217;re stubborn &#8212; not exactly. Fixed, maybe &#8212; focused, determined, relentless for sure, and definitely fond of routine &#8212; but stubborn? Well, stubborn is a bit harsh &#8212; and it&#8217;s usually only used by those of us who can&#8217;t seem to finish projects as consistently as you do. There!
