challenges and difficulties

On the other hand, Sara Gilbert may cling excessively or need constant reassurance from loved ones and family. Developing a deep, inner sense of security, as well as the ability to give and receive nurturing are important tasks for Sara.

Caution and realism are her virtues though Sara limits herself at times by being too careful, shy or fearful, not believing in herself enough, or lacking the required assertiveness. Others find Sara Gilbert difficult to get to know intimately, as Gilbert tends to distance herself from them or to outwardly adopt a rather stern, "adult" demeanor.

Once she decides what she wants to do, Sara Gilbert will pursue her goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for her deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Sara feel a little out of step with others. Sara Gilbert takes things a little more seriously and has an inclination to be somewhat of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so; as a result, others may not be aware of how deeply Sara feels and how driven she is about the things that are important to her. Sara Gilbert has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to her, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

At times Sara Gilbert struggles with nebulous worries, insecurities and fears that may be difficult to pinpoint. Mostly, she may be afraid of getting acquainted with the inner workings of her mind and soul, feeling uneasy with anything irrational or intangible.

Reorienting herself in the direction of spiritual optimism will do much to lift the cloud of worry that settles over Sara occasionally.

Sara Gilbert needs to develop single mindedness and focus. Until Sara directs her attention to some of the big questions, such as "What is my life's purpose?" "What is really important to me and essential to my happiness?", she is apt to dabble, scatter her energies in many directions and engage in activities which are entertaining but ultimately neither fruitful nor enriching.

Having an overall vision for her life and aligning her daily activities so that they support rather than detract from Gilbert's larger purpose in life, is a significant step toward her personal development.

The arena she is most likely to wrestle with these issues is in playful self-expression, games or sports, and creativity. Sara Gilbert should try to develop any artistic, expressive, creative potentials she feels she possesses, utilizing the qualities described above.
