I am really good at...

I am really good at just maintaining.

I am terrible at starting.

I am even worse at ending.

Maybe I can blame it on the time of the year I was born in because Scorpio is a fixed sign. This means that once the project is underway, I am really good at keeping it going and tweaking the bugs out along the way. I know this is a blanket statement and there are a few things I am really good at starting. Meals. Opening bottles of wine. Turning the washing machine on.

When introduced into a broken system, other than my own, I am superb at fixing it, stream-lining it, maintaining it. I derive a great deal of satisfaction out of cleaning other people's messes.

Right now I wish to find direction.

That is all.

I so totally relate to this post. I am not one for starting an initiative. Does this make me a follower? Not exactly. I am a natural born helper. Not a leader. I bet you can say the same for yourself.

Now, how about patterning your action after someone else's similar initiative? Can you trick your brain into thinking "somebody else did this, so it's safe to repeat it."
