Edna Ballard
drive and ambition

She is a perfectionist and has high standards for her own work. Edna Ballard often feels that if she wants something done right she must do it herself, for others do not do as thorough a job as she does. Doing a task well is very important to her, and she may labor over minute details that others would not bother with. Edna Ballard strives for accuracy, efficiency and precision, and she becomes very irritable when things are not done "right".

On the other hand, Edna Ballard can become so much of a perfectionist and so self-critical that she will not even attempt many activities and projects, feeling that her efforts will simply not be good enough. She is usually modest and realistic in assessing what she can accomplish and, if anything, Edna Ballard underestimates herself. Of course, practice makes perfect, and if Ballard does apply herself diligently in a given area, she gradually gains self-confidence as she masters skills and develops expertise.

Edna Ballard conserves her energy and paces herself so that she does not waste or diffuse her efforts. An unwillingness to take risks or venture from the beaten track can sometimes limit her opportunities. In short, Ballard may not aim high enough, thereby settling for too little in life.

Edna Ballard often buys things on impulse and she can be reckless with her material resources and money. Edna has certain possessions that she is extremely attached to and possessive of.

Edna Ballard has a positive, "can-do" attitude and she tackles life's challenges with relish.

Edna wants to keep on going, to do even bigger things. She is proactive, enterprising and enthusiastic about new projects. She is not happy in situations that do not offer her challenges and the potential for future growth - no matter how secure or satisfactory they may seem in other respects. She enjoys competition, but Edna Ballard competes mostly with herself, to see how much of her vision and potential she can really achieve. She makes a good leader, inspiring courage and confidence in others. Edna Ballard usually enjoys good health and a high level of vitality.

Dynamic, self-willed, and fiercely independent, she has extraordinary drive and energy. When Edna Ballard wants something, she wants it this very minute, and she acts quickly, impulsively and decisively. Her impatience inclines Edna Ballard to be abrupt with people and reckless. She needs a great deal of personal freedom to do things in her own way and does not happily conform to schedules, rules or regimes imposed by others. She is intolerant of authority and can be very rebellious. She is very frank with others, sometimes brutally so. Edna Ballard may have an explosive temper. High-strung and often nervous and tense, Edna finds it difficult to slow down, pace herself or relax. Edna Ballard is always on the go. She is restless, daring and experimental.
