Let's talk evolvement

Hola,

So I wanted to start this thread because I want to know what advice you all can give Sagges in general on this site to better ourselves as individuals. What advice would you give a Sag, (astrological weakness) so they can evolve.

For example, jumping from one task to another, especially if it gets boring. What is your advice to stick it through, and see the project all the way till it's finished?

This is basically as we can help each other, from our own experiences with family, friends, relationships, career and life all together_—.
Lets keep this one positive, and if there are disagreements , agree to disagree.

i strongly believe that the only way to know yourself as a sag is to date a sag.

Humility and patience...humility is something that I had to learn in 2013.

Those two principles pretty much remedy everything else. How? When you're humble, you're honest and truthful with yourself and others. From that stems knowing yourself...what you can and can't do from that you develop boundaries and knowing what needs to be fixed and what doesn't.

One of our biggest problems is procrastination. We rely too much on luck and a lot less on actual knowledge/skill. Yes, we usually end up accomplishing something but that accomplishment could've been achieved a long time ago and doesn't change the fact that we're "late to the party" lmao.

Evolvement? Eh...highly subjective and only feeds the ego. Just develop a strong sense of responsibility to yourself and others and everything will fall into place. But also realize you're not God and can't help everybody, fix problems, etc. you only end up over promising and under delivering. Also, follow through on your goals. Patience and humility = faith and serenity.

I don't know haha

This is something I struggle with a lot. I get interested in a topic, research it to death, get completely submerged in it and then I'm bored and need to look for something else.

I've learned when angry, I need to distance myself from the person who caused it, calm down, then deal with it in a logical manner. Otherwise my sharp tongue will hurt someone's feelings.

Trying to practice this as much as possible. I have noticed that lately I'm calmer, maybe it's my moon. Things don't bother me as much as they use to.

I also have learned the word "No." Cause I do stretch myself thin at times. I'm also learning to stop making promises I can't keep, cause I can't make every Tom dick and Harry happy.

Thanks for the advice and for sharing with others.

I struggle with this; I try to see projects through, but sometimes....I find something else that stimulates my intellectual interest , and I drop what I'm doing to research the new topic or idea at hand. It is frustrating, I think how ever with age I'm learning to stick it out. If I start something, I'll finish it, even if it's boring at the end.

Yes! This one was a tough one for me. Thankfully, I've learned to ignore; or walk away, regroup, gather my thoughts and express myself in a logical way. Cause sometimes my temper can sky rocket for no reason if I'm not careful.

Do some of you when presenting an argument(can be work, school projects, general discussion with family and friends) tend to sound like your attacking the person instead of the subject?

This happens with me and my Aqua sister. She sometimes pushes my buttons cause I can become passionate about a subject and I forget the intent of me explaining facts and presenting them and I end up attacking her verbally( not cursing) but I just become exasperated with her, especially when her argument is full of wholes.

If you tend to do this and have learned how to take a step back; how did you go about it?

Attacking the person and not the argument comes from two things. One, resentment...of yourself, them, or both. The second amounts to intellectual one-upping which is only putting your ego on display masked as "intelligence." You never are fully aware of what someone knows.

How to counter it? It goes back to humility. Debates, conversation, etc in any setting are about revelation and sharing at its core. Every situation is an opportunity to learn, gain knowledge, and bond and grow...between both parties. If you see a hole in an argument, you don't necessarily have to fill it. Sometimes you have to let them learn on their own. But this itself is pretentious because none of us have full knowledge of everything. Hence, learning to see it from both sides...something we all struggle with.
