God's Creation...

Let me enlighten you!  I'm not an "enforcer" by choice.  I was chosen at birth to be one when God decided the fate of my birthday - December 22nd.  Brought into this world under the zodiac sign CAPRICORN I was destined to be an enforcer...

Capricorn Traits: The Capricorn is perhaps the most steadfast and resolute Sign of the entire Zodiac. The Mountain Goats, or so the Capricorn are known, are ambitious, reserved, determined, relentless, practical and helpful. They make excellent leaders and organizers, thanks to their focused, concentrated thought process and a responsible, sincere attitude. These Workaholics of the Zodiac, however, are liable to be perceived as cold, detached, stern disciplinarians, mostly owing to the influence of their ruling planet Saturn. Yes, they can be negative, suspicious, resentful, inhibited, pessimistic and obstinate, but the Capricorn are rarely bad at heart. They are tender inside, and their hard exteriors are designed well to help them stay guarded against the hurt and rejection, they so strongly despise. 

The irony is that I've always known my zodiac sign.  I have not always understood the defined traits, qualities (good/bad), or the concerns my zodiac sign actually means for me, The Mountain Goat.  Apparently neither have those people who are a part of my life (professional or personal) because I truly believe if they did they would refrain from hurting or rejecting me.

When I'm at work I'm the epitome of a Capricorn.  My ambitiousness and stern behavior it what drives my successes yet they are also my demise as my co-workers kindly call "White Box Bitch" or "The Terminator" or, my personal favorite, "Suck Up".  In my personal life I'm scared to know what anyone says or feels about me - I can tell you my mother defined me as the "Finisher" when I was a teenager.  In her defense she did it as a gesture of protecting me from expulsion in school...long story.  Ultimately the older I get the more I ponder WHY...and the older I get the more the answer to my "WHY" is "who cares"...

I CARE!  I can't help that I love hard, protect even harder, and seldom sway.  I don't see that I have character flaws I see that I am the creature God created!  And, in my eyes, I'm the best person for the roll because after 45+ years I've perfected my personality traits...so like them or not my only request of my peers both professional and personal is LOVE ME FOR WHO/WHAT I am because in the end you won't be disappointed in what I have to offer!!!
