Anna Paul became aware of her weaknesses and decided to try and improve them. The first step was to become aware of them.

She sometimes senses a conflict between her desire for social and professional success and her need for a stable, secure domestic life. She is deeply committed to both ideas and does not always succeed in reconciling their schedules and demands on her. Sometimes it feels as though she will never be able to find a balance, but no job promotion will really satisfy her if she has neglected her most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier to her to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if she merely sacrifices her domestic life, she is only trying to fool herself. She shouldaccept the fact that her domestic life is the true basis and foundation of her development. All her career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.

Anna Paul is endowed with great sensitivity and has profound aspirations, especially romantic ones. Nevertheless, her spirit is sometimes too delicate for her to have armored and structured herself for the constraints of life out there in the real world. Moreover, she sees little point in devoting herself to fulfilling the demands of practical reality, which strike her as rather futile and empty. Her escapes into her fantasy world give her the illusion of a much greater reward. She tends to gloss over her vision of other people, and when they reveal their imperfections and incompetence, she feels guilty for them and suffers from her own vulnerability and illusions. She would do well to try to be more selective about the people she associates with; when she is moving in a dream world, she attracts the kind of dishonest people who are likely to take advantage of her.
