Or I’ll put it like this…seven things I am trying to change in me.
More than once, I blame my nature and behavior to my zodiac sign. I am a Leo and being one I have certain good and bad issues with my personality. There are a few without which my life would be happier. Probably listing them down and getting to read will help.
1. Anger – No I don’t break glasses and plates in anger but I am highly short tempered. My anger can be ignited by smallest of misbehavior/unpleasantness. But it comes as quickly as it goes. I have a technical fault. I faint if I get too angry over something. Therefore, I struggle and try to keep my calm as much as possible.
2. Attention span – I have the shortest attention span in the world. I feel lost in a conversation within minutes of getting into it. I lose interest in half a story and it is really a challenge for everyone around me to have my complete attention.
3. Multi-task – One would think that why is that so. I am an efficient at multitasking. However, it many times leads to problem two – lack of attention. I need to talk, check my phone, check social network, plan my work, read a blog at the same time. Therefore, more than once I end up doing a halfhearted work.
4. Talk – Well, before I am a Leo, I am a girl. And man! I can talk. At times in middle of the conversation I realize that I am yapping for long without anyone really listening to me and my mind screams – zip up your mouth!
5. Approval – Another Leo trait. We are people’s people. We need approval from known and unknown. Our friends, family, colleagues and absolute strangers need to approve my decision, my beliefs, my choice and even my blog.
6. Love – Now that is a weird problem. Why is that a problem? I don’t think it’s a Leo problem. It is a problem that I or I’d say many of us forgets “I” in “we”. When I am in love with someone my choice of food, beverage, clothes, lifestyle changes as per his likes. It reminds me of the movie runaway brined where choice of her egg changed as per her boyfriend.
7. Independence – I get sudden bouts of feel self-sustainable, independent woman and make some rash decisions that I end up regretting. Frankly speaking, I live quite an independent life. I mean I live alone, earn my own money, have super understanding parents, not really anyone to answer to…but suddenly at times I feel the need to feel a fresh air of independence which results in putting myself or others around me in trouble.
All said and done, I still love myself. As I always like to put it… “I am a human in making”.
P.s. talking of attention span and mulit-task - I have read three blogs, wrote two mails, spoke to mom, did a work call, chatted with my colleague, played a game of candy crush, and changed the last three heads twice while writing this post :/ :p

Attention span... guess should include in my list too. And about multitasking I blame it on been a Gemini. The sign of duality and multitasking.
