Original Advice

DO: Praise follow-through, not just polite promises.

Clap for Deeds, Not Decorum

Nice has trained you to cheer at the idea instead of the delivery. Your compliments fertilize empty agendas. Polite promises keep you floating; they never pay rent. You reward charm because it feels gentle, and you end up babysitting other people's intentions. Applause is currency. Stop tipping for future talk. Pay only when the work shows up at your door.

Attention is a lever. When you place it on proof, people move. When you place it on promises, they pose. Praise is training; it tells your world how to behave around you. Some will fall away when the applause stops being free. Let them. Reliability is romantic. Consistency is erotic. Harmony built on action holds. Harmony built on manners leaks.

Cosmic Context

Venus rules you; aesthetics seduce you. Your scales were built for justice—recalibrate them to weigh outcomes over overtures.
