I like to help people individually, and the human race in general.
My body is basically strong and durable. I can drive and push myself, especially at work. When stressed I go into overdrive and become hyper with nervous energy, and even scattered. I have environmental and health sensitivities to chemicals, antibiotics, and pollutants. My neck is prone to stiffness and rigidity. Mental rigidity can lead to indecisiveness if not controlled. I have a strong aversion to change, sometimes avoiding it at all costs.
I am known for my consistency and persistence. I am undaunted by time or trends, and am unwavering in my activities and beliefs. I have an unusual resolve for doing what I choose. I have an abundance of patience, and possess an intense sense of responsibility and loyalty, especially once I have identified with a group or a cause. My high sense of responsibility makes me a patient teacher, and the appreciation of my students, clients or patients makes it all worthwhile.
I thrive when I am appreciated. I am patient with a systematic, logical approach. Appreciation from my students or others keeps me motivated. My strong mental focus and my fear of failure keeps me consistently alert and up to date in my field.
