Striving to Be Recognized

Striving to Be Recognized

You are an achiever: Ambitious, competitive, and hardworking: That’s you. With a clear image of who you are, you work tirelessly to make sure your accomplishments are recognized. Your drive for success extends to your family, and you invest a lot of energy in helping them live up to your expectations. Thanks to your knack for diplomacy and abundant charisma, you often inspire others.

What to watch out for: You are prone to becoming a workaholic, slaving away towards success while neglecting your personal life. Because you’re driven to gain approval, you can find yourself performing for others like an actor; if you become overly concerned with your image, you end up feeling superficial. To keep your ambition under control, get involved in group activities that require cooperation. Also practice listening to those around you and think abut sharing the spotlight from time to time.

Looking ahead: Any career that allows you to scale the ranks and gain recognition, status, even material rewards, lights you up. Actress, entrepreneur, salesperson, politician, you get the picture. And consider balancing your professional challenges with personal ones: Run a 1ok, train for a triathlon, compete in a tennis tournament, bike from one end of your state to the other; or join a debate team, play in poker circle, enter your purebred spaniel in a dog show. Whenever you can win at something, you’re happy.
