Your first name of Beate gives you the desire to understand and to help others but, at the same time you can become too involved in their problems and, as a result, worry too much. People like you at first meeting. Once settled in a responsible position whether it be in the home or the business world, you are content to remain there giving to others the benefit of your talents. There is a serious side to your nature in that you care about people and have a sense of responsibility to help them. Even though you have many admirable qualities, you need initiative, self-confidence,and ambition. While your sensitive, idealistic nature has a positive side, you need to guard against becoming too much of a dreamer. You appreciate the pleasures of life. You will sacrifice your own opportunities to help others. More self-confidence would enhance your favourable qualities as well as give you the positivity and snap judgment needed to enrich your life by expanding your horizons in so many ways. Though you recognize your responsibilities, you are inclined to put things off until you are forced to take action.
