Your hard work, planning and experience should be paying off now and there is a reason to keep going with what you are currently working on. There are good energies surrounding health and also fitness levels, although challenges will include failure to keep these at their optimum through neglect.
“Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.”
–Franz Kafka
Chicomecóatl, Aztec goddess of sustenance and, hence, of corn (maize), one of the most ancient and important goddesses in the Valley of Mexico. The number seven in her name is associated with luck and generative power. She was often portrayed as the consort of the corn god, Centéotl. Chicomecóatl is depicted in Aztec documents with her body and face painted red, wearing a distinctive rectangular headdress or pleated fan of red paper. She is similarly represented in sculpture, often holding a double ear of corn in each hand.
Expanding the complexity of her divine connections, Chicomecoatl is at times identified with Xochitl, the youthful goddess of flowers and beauty, as well as Xochiquetzal, the revered goddess of love and fertility.
It’s easier to be productive if you enjoy what you do.
Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, who don’t take risks, never win.
Time flies so fast, to get more productive you need to learn how to manage your time efficiently.
We learn as long as we live.
If you have a dream, do your best and work hard towards it.
