'wide-angle' (strategic) view.

You are likely to be aware of the fact that at times things need to be approached methodically; at other times, action is more important than plans. You are likely to commit to tasks when you feel fully invested in the outcome, and it's this sense of ownership that gives you the confidence to do your best work.

Benefits

By and large you probably feel well able to deal with most of what life hands you.
