Adriane Galisteu
motivation

Although Adriane Galisteu appears gentle and sympathetic toward others (as explained in the previous chapter), she is also a "warrior". Galisteu sometimes feels torn between these two facets of her character: the sensitive, tenderhearted, home-loving side, and the assertive, competitive, risk-taking side. People who first meet Adriane Galisteu often think that she is a "softy", but later find out that she is strong willed and pursues her goals aggressively.

She is a person who thrives on challenge, and she often feels that she must battle her way through life, relying on no one and nothing but her own strength, intelligence and courage. Adriane Galisteu believes in being totally honest, true to herself and her own vision and convictions, even if it means standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor and authenticity are Galisteu's gods, and she has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Adriane Galisteu craves the freedom to do things in her own way, and she works very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying out another's will is not her style. Adriane likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

Adriane Galisteu loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, then she is always ready to stir things up, do something new, make changes and introduce some fresh blood. Routine and sameness are tantamount to death for her. She is not afraid of trying something that has never been done before, and even though she may sometimes be perceived as a fool, Adriane Galisteu also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following her own star are the breath of life for Galisteu, and she wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if she cannot do this.

She is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Adriane Galisteu believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and she perceives herself as a strong, even invincible, person. Adriane Galisteu hates being ill or in a position of dependency. Accepting her own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for her.

She is basically aggressive in her attitudes and less adept at relating to others, picking up on subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing and harmonizing. She is often so fired up about her own projects or goals that she inadvertently runs over or ignores other people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of others' contributions, ideas and feelings would be highly instrumental in improving Galisteu's relationships. Her impatience to get on with things causes Adriane Galisteu to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. She also frequently tries to accomplish her goals through anger or temper tantrums. Adriane Galisteu would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however her energetic, restless nature rarely allows Adriane Galisteu to do so.

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Galisteu. Adriane Galisteu has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. She is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Adriane Galisteu may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

Adriane Galisteu is loving and well loved by others, and has a strong need for relationships that offer kindness, friendship and affection. Her artistic and creative powers are also well developed and Adriane does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Galisteu, as are her personal appearance and attractiveness.

Appearing successful and attractive to the public is important to her. Adriane Galisteu probably enjoys wearing stylish clothes and modern jewelry. She tends to seek admiration from others and social acceptance is necessary to Adriane's well-being.

She is a bit impulsive and excitable and wants things done quickly. Adriane Galisteu tends to be very impatient with anyone who is slower or less energetic than she is. Galisteu will fight for what she wants but should guard against mishaps or accidents.
