Barbara Richardson
drive and ambition

Barbara Richardson has a warrior's attitude - decisive, courageous, and bold. Barbara tends to always crave action, even when waiting for an opportune moment or not doing anything at all would actually be effective in the long-term. She absolutely cannot tolerate being passive or even patient about getting what she wants. Barbara Richardson feels that it is up to her to take the initiative and she pursues her goal or desire very aggressively.

She is also self-reliant, in that she does not depend on others to do things for her or help her along, and Barbara Richardson is often irritated when other people offer advice or direction. Cooperation rarely comes easily to her. She is willful and can be quite oblivious to others' desires or feelings when she is pursuing something she wants. She is highly competitive, enjoys a challenge or a good fight, and may be downright pugnacious at times. Abounding in energy and enthusiasm at the start of a new venture, Barbara Richardson needs a very positive response and encouragement in order to sustain her interest throughout. If a project is not successful from the start, she is liable to drop it and move on to something else rather than rework or refine it. She has a strong desire to blaze new trails and put her own twist to things. Richardson can discover, invent and initiate new things, but she is impatient and may lack the stamina and perseverance needed see a long-term project through.

She is a doer and an achiever. Energetic, courageous, and often impatient, Barbara Richardson will forge ahead with her plans regardless of others' reservations. In fact, Richardson often feels other people get in her way and she prefers working on her own. Barbara is active, assertive, and rather competitive as well.

Richardson frequently meets a tremendous amount of resistance whenever she wants to assert herself in a decisive way, or do something just for herself. This resistance comes from within (in the form of self-doubt, fear, or a heavy sense of responsibility to others), as well as from practical and circumstantial limitations. Especially when initiating a project or acting independently, Barbara Richardson may tell herself that she is not really prepared, or that she is not good enough (yet), and she puts a lot of pressure on herself. Despite the obstacles, setbacks, or lack of support she encounters, Barbara Richardson can accomplish a lot in a patient, steady fashion. However, she is apt to aim too low, and not realize how much she is truly capable of.

Barbara Richardson should try to recognize that she does not have to justify her existence or prove her worth by her accomplishments.

She enjoys life and is capable of feeling and experiencing everything deeply. Her sense of love and eroticism is strong and Barbara Richardson has a fondness for children, whom she will treat tenderly and affectionately.

In meeting her challenges and difficulties in life, Barbara Richardson does have allies: her ability to tolerate tension and ambivalence, her ability to compromise, and a capacity to endure discomfort. Remaining steady in the midst of crisis or sudden change is an aspect of this, as well as knowing when to wait and when to make necessary changes. Barbara's timing is usually good.

To achieve her long-range goals and ambitions, the process must be interesting and mentally stimulating, as Richardson gets bored with work that is not challenging intellectually. Barbara Richardson needs variety and social stimulation as well. One problem she may have is saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, or to the wrong person. Barbara needs to watch her words. Her tongue or even her sense of humor can get Barbara Richardson in trouble with superiors at times.

Her profession is apt to be related to children, women, consulting, nourishing, or to the use of her nurturing, emotional, childlike qualities in appealing to the public in some way. Barbara Richardson does well in any business that involves responding to people's emotional needs and tastes.

Her direction in life seems to depend a great deal on other people and her relationships with others may often influence Richardson's decision in planning her objectives. This could be to Barbara's advantage at times, but also could cause occasional setbacks.
