Thinking about my "place"

I have read
Some need constant reminders that they are not in charge, they push the limits,
Some say they are just naturally submissive and almost never step out of line or "forget their place"

I am new to this lifestyle and even though submitting to my Sir, being his property, doing whatever he tells me, is what I truly desire with every fiber of my being, even though my deepest wish is to serve him to the best of my ability... I'm not perfect...

I don't always fulfil my responsibilities as I know I should. When it happens, I feel very guilty about it. Ashamed. I want more than anything for my Sir to be proud of me, to be a good girl for him.

If I fail to ALWAYS do what I know is expected, does that mean I'm not a "true" submissive ?

If I need a reminder from time to time, a reprimand or even discipline, does that mean I'm not a good submissive?

These are some of the questions floating around in my brain.

Thing is, I like, actually I LOVE, when he exercises his authority. When he says no it has a huge affect on me maybe even more so than when he says yes.
Does that make me bratty?

Many things to ponder.
