well, to address the writing thing (a good goal to "attack,") set a deadline, and/or find a something like a contest that sets a deadline for you, and STICK YOURSELF TO IT!! (I recommend www.nanowrimo.org, but that's not til november) -- there are lots more of them out there in the near future.
Yeah... I got a little bit through for NANOWRIMO this past year. In fact, I think I hit the 2000 word mark twice... since I'm horrible at "just writing through" those bad spots. I have to go back and change stuff... always editing while writing. (Which, really, is one of the reasons I post here almost every day... trying to break myself of the need to be "perfect" in every paragraph.)
I can relate to the being passive. I used to get frustrated at myself for not being aggressive enough about many things. At the same time, being aggressive isn't being truly me either. I would have to fight my own human nature to truly be "aggressive" A balance is definitely the way to go. One thing for sure, I would NEVER accept "That's just the way things go" for an answer.
The biggest problem is, I don't really get frustrated by it all that often. And I do firmly believe that, sometimes, that is just the way things go. Some understanding is just beyond our little minds (for now, at least). ;)
But, really... I do plan on walking at least a little closer to that line between not enough and too much. It's been way too long since I've been there.
there's a difference between being aggressive and/or being decisive and progressive.
most people make this assumption that you are either passive or aggressive, and that's it -- you can be a bunch of other GOOD things that work well for people instead of passive w/o being aggressive.
