If you really want to improve and transform yourself, the first step is to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding Carmen Barbieri back and preventing her evolution:- her insatiable appetites- her stubbornness- her grimness- her reluctance to change.

Although it sometimes seems easier to me to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if I merely sacrifice my domestic life, I am only trying to fool myself. I should accept the fact that my domestic life is the true basis and foundation of my development. All my career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.

Carmen Barbieri tends to be restless and impatient. Her dissatisfaction sometimes compels her to launch herself into an energetic effort to transform society. Because she has the ability to conceive of fairly radical models for social change, she sometimes demonstrates a desire to spearhead a progressive movement. However, her determination to impose her own ideas forcefully could turn off people she is so eager to help. She will do well to realize that only a transpersonal vision of the world (that is, a vision which transcends her own personal ego problems) is appropriate nourishment for the archetypes which could bring about a real transformation and improvement of social structures.
