Zipporah Dobyns
challenges and difficulties

Zipporah Dobyns has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. She is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that she discourages herself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Dobyns knows it should be done.

She frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. Zipporah Dobyns may be something of a hypochondriac also. Zipporah must learn that she does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax her unnecessarily high or strict standards.

It may be difficult for Zipporah Dobyns to play spontaneously or just let her hair down, for she tends to inhibit that side of her by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression she is making.

Zipporah may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for she wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged, and recognized as special in some way. Though she may indeed be outstanding, Zipporah Dobyns also needs to learn to relax and enjoy herself more.

Her aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Zipporah Dobyns pursues her aims in a systematic, disciplined, and thorough manner, and she is willing to takes her time, advancing slowly and steadily on her way towards her goal.

Sometimes Zipporah Dobyns underestimates what is possible, and holds herself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.

Because of her inner reserve and basic shyness, Zipporah Dobyns appears to lack adaptability and is a bit inhibited in dealing with other people. Her approach is somewhat serious and it is difficult for Zipporah to face the public.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Zipporah Dobyns instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Zipporah Dobyns needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Instinctively she is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Zipporah stands alone when she does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Zipporah Dobyns has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that she must be self-reliant and that only she can come up with the answers she needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate her from others, or make Zipporah Dobyns feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Zipporah Dobyns calls social "games" do not come naturally to her. Zipporah Dobyns needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

It is in her work and her relationships with co-workers, employers, and employees that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Integrating the qualities described above into Dobyns' work and daily routine will lead to greater satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.
