Doer or Thinker??

This topic was created in the The Powder Room forum by lisabethur8 on Wednesday, July 29, 2015 and has 5 replies.
we had a conversation last weekend over babies, and observing them.

our friend said his relative's baby is all over the place, Climbing everywhere, going everywhere, no focus though.
his baby is a doer, but "focused"; he observed this closely and said, "my baby will be a doer, but he won't be all over the place."
then i asked him about his relative's baby, about the parents; i asked if they had ADD (attention deficiet disorder) and he said yes. so interesting.
by the way, both babies are Aries Sun.

Are you a thinker or a doer?

quote: "The Doer

Pros: The doer is brave, tough, persistent, hard to intimidate, hard working, and generally happier than the thinker.

Cons: If you asked a doer to jump off a cliff after a friend, the doer would gladly oblige without giving thought to any potential sharp rocks down below, how cold the water is or being attacked by some nautical beast.

The doer has the drive to get stuff done but often loses sense of direction, or often makes one wrong move to blow the bridge to the path to success straight to hell, making it much tougher to obtain their goals. Unlike the thinker, the doer can get easily distracted and end up wandering off the path.

Doers will take chances against all odds, and if sh*t hits the fan, they will keep moving forward no matter what. Doers will press on until they permanently wedge themselves between a rock and a hard place and cannot continue further, usually running into some serious financial issues.

So, in order to really be a success, you need the mind of the thinker, but the balls of a doer. You need to have those great clever ideas and a strategy to back it up. You need the drive and determination to get to that goal. You need to be persistent and tough, along with being smart"

The Thinker

Pros: The thinker has an open mind. The thinker is clever as can be and curious, with a head full of wonderful ideas that can be considered both unique and original. The thinker is smart enough to think outside the box, and analyze their surroundings with a strong attention to detail and preparedness to learn. The thinker is good with money.

Cons: To be blunt, thinkers just don’t have balls. They may have incredible concepts and ideas that can shoot their careers forward, but they are so afraid to actually put those ideas into effect. They will keep coming up with excuses as to why they haven’t put their concepts into action yet. Due to the thinkers’ attention to fine detail, they are unable to just simply focus on the bigger picture and get the damn thing off the ground.

Fear is also a big problem for thinkers. They tend to think more of the cons of a situation when moving forward and tend to be afraid to leave everything they know and jump into the vast unknown. Things can go straight to hell with one wrong move and thinkers are well aware of that.

Afraid of what could be, thinkers tend to wait for opportunity or change to happen to them, rather than go after it, which it rarely ever does. Because of this fear, thinkers don’t live up to their potential. Depression can easily run rampant with thinkers, seeing as they never had the courage to take a shot with their ideas and successfully turn them into an accomplishment to be proud of."
so basically they are saying that a Thinker's WORST traits is that they can't DO things, because they are afraid, to do it. This is a "detriment"

and it says that thinkers are generally unhappy. Because they live in their heads too much.

Also, a DOER is happier, but here's the thing: the thinker is better with money than doers.

so are you both??? if so, why?

For myself, I am very happy but i notice i can think and do. I am both, but i do notice that my husband is both too. he is a thinker and a doer. but i get the feeling he is mostly a doer. but he generally analyzes everything!! he has virgo. but dominantly fire because that is a DOER.

no wonder they say that air signs in GENERAL are in detriment or fall, because they generally have great fantastic ideas, but they don't put in motion.....

and they are generally unhappy. if you can change this about you, what do you do??

and the DOERS are bad with money in "general" again, but they are brave and fearless. this is probably why air needs fire and fire needs air......
for example, if i am into something, i will DO something about it, not sit there and let others do it for me. I will do it!! but i will think it first and then GO!!!!

like going out there and pursuing something,

put your thinking cap on and GOOO !!!! do it!!

so all you libras/libra dominants!! the big decision makers....go go go!! grab yourself an Aries /aries dominant and GO!! Big Grin



encouragement!! Laughing
