Now you are feeling the flow. Ideas are coming to you easily, and mundane tasks don't feel so boring. It's time to let others see what you have to offer. Find the right people around you, and you'll reach your goals more easily. Perhaps it means that you have to change something in the short term to achieve something in the long term.
