If you really want to improve and transform yourself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding you back and preventing your evolution. Your pride and short temper, your insatiable need for praise, your need to dominate, and your struggle to tolerate criticism are all potential roadblocks on your path to success.

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

Brahim Diaz is rather obstinate, stubborn, and impervious to outside influences. Although his determination is an asset in bringing plans and projects to completion, it may also arouse bitter hostility against him. To fit in best, consider working on his flexibility and diplomacy.

Brahim Diaz’s energy is vast and very productive. He knows how to persevere and meet challenges, delays, and obstacles with determination and obstinacy, without altering his goals. He is fairly reluctant to change course as a result of outside intervention, preferring to bulldoze his way past any obstacles, slowly but steadily, rather than go around them. Sometimes his will is so powerful that he refuses to make any compromises or concessions, which may be a source of conflict with others. He might want to work on sharing his power or authority, which would allow him to accomplish more.

As a result, due to your great ambitions, you are fairly organized. You are able to work long and hard to achieve your goals and elaborates fairly rigid strategies to protect yourself against any foreseeable obstacles. You are so absorbed in your business you do not always realize that you tend to be somewhat peremptory with the people around you and that you might do well to soften your tone and be more tactful at times. Your friendships seem stifling and superfluous to you, and you are sometimes tormented by inner conflict when you are forced to submit to another’s will. To succeed, work to be less dogmatic. Trust in yourself and other people and flexibility.

Brahim Diaz has a tendency to betray a lack of toleration for other people’s belief systems and values. Although he trusts his own talent for business, finance, and investments thoroughly, he is liable to make some errors in judgment. Because he identifies so strongly with his own individual habits and work routines and isn’t as keen to learn from others, he may waste his energy at times.

Brahim Díaz is fairly independent and individualistic, so it is easy for him to detach himself from prevailing intellectual trends and pursue his activities independently. He may tend to be too self-focused. However, he is likely to encounter situations in life which require that he adapt to new and unfamiliar circumstances by changing his system of values. If he clings to a narrow vision of the truth, certain relationship experiences may shatter it, leaving him with a feeling of loss and disorientation until he recovers. The best cure would be putting his determination into changing his life and concentrating on new goals.

To trust yourself better and gain self-assurance, the first step is to learn to say no. Once you are capable of saying no to others, you can say yes to life. You must develop your awareness of all the things you love and feel positive about, as well as all the changes you hope to make in order to enjoy life more. This is the foundation that will support you, the inexhaustible source and center of the transformation of your personality. Infantile anxieties which arose in childhood when you were helpless may be obstacles to your evolution. Sometimes they actually prevent you from daring to confront challenges you would be altogether capable of assuming now! One of the reasons you yield to these childhood fears so readily is that they procure a feeling so familiar to you that, although it is negative, it is a reassuring part of your identity. However, the more often you reinforce this complex by yielding to that feeling, the more unaware you become of your true emotional state. The irrational childhood fears have also reinforced your pessimistic tendencies.

It is difficult for you to believe in the sunny side of life because of the pernicious little voice inside you that claims you don’t really deserve all this goodness. This side of you could undermine your vitality and force you to compensate or flee from reality. In doing so, you limit your power to bring about a positive change in yourself or your life. It’s a vicious cycle, and to free yourself, the first step is to free yourself from the fears which prevent you from taking full advantage of life. You can succeed if you arrange a relaxed, positive environment for yourself, establish sincere relations with one or two special people, and, if possible, finds a setting – perhaps a yoga class – in which you can practice relaxation exercises.
