But not a need for <em>things.</em> I'm not much for worrying, myself—confident Capricorn and all, worries would just get in my way—but I feel the need to improve/ excel/ provide delight in my bones. Really. Like a shark, who has to swim or he dies. If I weren't diligently striving, I'd sink. And like I said, I'm afraid to fail! At times in my life I've changed what I'm striving for, but I have a need to be reaching at all times for the brass ring. I don't think it's either there or it's not, either. I think it can be cultivated. I think this need is one you can encourage to grow in yourself, if you've found your right work and have a passion for bringing it to others. My humble, yet deeply felt, opinion. Regards, Kelly Alex,
