If you want to improve yourself, the first step is to become aware of your weaknesses. These can be things like your need for security, your tendency to escape into fantasy, your hunger for approval, your longing for the past, your fear of the future, and your investment systems.

You sometimes struggle with the conflicting desires to succeed in your professional and personal life. You’re committed to both ideas, but sometimes it’s hard to find a balance between working hard and having a stable home life. Sometimes it feels like you’ll never be able to find a happy medium. However, no promotion will really satisfy you if you neglect your most important personal needs. Although it sometimes seems easier to you to pursue your career goals out in the real world, if you sacrifice your home life, you’re only fooling yourself. You should accept the fact that your home life is the true foundation of your development. All your professional endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they’re supported by a safe, warm personal life.

BigFoltz may experience discord in relationships. Although he is friendly and outgoing and commits himself to friendships and partnerships, he often finds it difficult to balance his own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs. To understand and overcome this problem, he should accept the idea that every relationship follows more or less the same general scheme: a base of intimacy and an accomplishment or purpose apart from the relationship itself. If he succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what kind of intimate relationship he and his partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.
