are you a go getter, or do you wait for things to happen to you?

i'm a go getter for the most part, it depends on what it is and how badly i want it, i also believe that all good things come to those who wait. example: now i want go into detail but i'll summarize it, my ex was in such a hurry to get custody of our son, that he moved in with his gf that he was only dating for a week, well me on the other hand was living with my parents, a room mate, and then later nowhere, well now we (my current bf and I) just bought a house and it's bigger then my ex's and his gf's house, so if he would of just waited he'd probably have his own house too.

It usually depends on how eager I am to make and wait things to happen.But sometimes, I just wait , make the right move for that to happen. This year, my new year's wish is to be able to learn to swim, and right now I'm taking one step at a time. I don't want to rush things to happen. I'm trying to lose weight and save money for the possible expenses that might occur once I start it. Same thing goes when it comes to love,before I'm really a go-getter that's why I've been fooled many times. And that's the reason why at this time in my life, I'm just here laid back because I don't want to rush myself into falling in love.

I'm a weird mix of both. I'm a very patient person, so in a lot of cases I'm content to just sit and wait for things to come to me. But in other cases, I know full well that I'm not going to get anything unless I go for it, so I go out to try and achieve things on my own.

I am not much of a go getter although I raised our kids to be agressive and get what they want by earning whatever it took to get it. They all have a good education and good careers and I will take credit for this one. As a result one of our girls has the most beautiful home I've ever been in and love visiting. She lives about 10 miles from us. I think my lack of being agressive myself stems from the fear of rejection. It's not what I would consider a hang up but keeps me hanging out in the background and waiting for something to come my way. This has happened over the years with jobs.
Enjoy your new house,
