Your Inner Being

Hey Caps

Have you noticed how the typical capricorn description is very one sided, talks about ambition, being calculative and practical. But I believe the one thing that makes caps so different, is the fact that our inner being is something completely different. The only thing that is similar among caps is that a lot of our habits through life, we attain from fear.
We are known for being cautious. This comes from the fear of making the wrong decisions, a fear of saying the wrong thing, fear of upsetting someone, fear of not being accepted, fear of being taken advantage of.

A lot of caps I know are on the road to facing their fears, one friend of mine speaks her mind no matter what, she's learned that in life you have gotta stand up for yourself, because nobody else will do it for you. Rather be loved for speaking your mind then being loved for accepting whatever is thrown in your direction.

I've come to a point in my life where I feel as though the way I act, speak, interact with people is so influenced by society's idea of the norm, that I'm not being me, I'm busy being what everybody else wants me to be. I don't know who I am, I don't know what I really really like, because I'm always just thinking of what is gonna please people instead of what really pleases me.

So, I have 3 questions for you caps :
1. Describe your inner being. Separate yourself from your purpose for a bit and describe who you are, deep down. Not who you want to be, not who you think people want you to be, but who you truly are.

2. What is the one thing you fear the most, and what is the one fear you are ready to face, as a cap?

3. Your deepest realisation about yourself lately...tell us about it?

3: Deepest realisation.....hmmm......that I truly am strong enough to just walk away, mentally, from anything and anyone and not think twice about it. Took me 20 years of painfull soul-searching to come to this place and I feel so "free" it's almost laughable!

Strong enough to walk away from anything and anyone? What do you mean by this? How is that strength though?

1. Describe your inner being. Separate yourself from your purpose for a bit and describe who you are, deep down. Not who you want to be, not who you think people want you to be, but who you truly are.

I am very cynical and a little cold when it comes to some things, (work situations, other people's problems), etc. I don't like it, but I am. On the flipside, I am very trusting with my inner circle and that has bit me in the butt before. I am very hard headed and stubborn to the point of not getting what I want out of principle. I also have a hard time asking for help and will struggle along independently rather than accept help, even though I really want it. The bad thing is I get irritated because I think people who know me should be able to see I need it and force it on me. A paradox, I suppose. However, for those I love, I will do anything I can to help with no expectations in return.


2. What is the one thing you fear the most, and what is the one fear you are ready to face, as a cap?

I fear rejection the most. Everything about the cap shield is because of the fear. I have been challenging myself to be more open with close friends and express my true feelings forgoing the fear of rejection.

3. Your deepest realization about yourself lately...tell us about it?

Well, just going through a divorce, I realize I am stronger and more self sufficient than I thought. I was able to walk away from that bad marriage with no regrets and am making it on my own. I knew I'd land on my feet! Surprises the hell out of my ex. lol!

Wow! Deep questions.
