Carlene Begnaud
motivation

Although Carlene Begnaud approaches life instinctively and intuitively (as described on the previous page), she also has a very analytical, rational, unemotional side, as discussed below. Her conflicting urges may vacillate between living passionately and dangerously, and being conservative and playing it safe.

At heart Carlene Begnaud is modest and humble and rarely strives to be in the limelight or in a position of power. Carlene Begnaud has a sharp analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and prefers to observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, Begnaud can be relied upon to be cautious, efficient, and thorough in her work and she takes pride in a job well done. What she may lack in self-confidence Carlene Begnaud often makes up for in skills - fostering expertise, technical knowledge and competence in a specialized area. She is adept at using her hands to create or fix things, and meticulous attention to detail and careful craftsmanship are her forte. Some would say she is a little too meticulous, for Begnaud can be extremely critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as she thinks it should be, and she worries about things that other people consider trivial and unimportant. Carlene Begnaud likes to organize, categorize and arrange everything into a logical system and is often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not fit into a neat category. Disorganization vexes Begnaud. She probably wishes that she were not such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, Begnaud can also be mercilessly self-critical. Whether in her environment or within herself, Begnaud tends to focus on the flaws, with a desire to improve, refine, and perfect. She is strictly factual, truthful, and scrupulously honest in her self-assessment and often does not give herself enough praise or credit.

She is also highly discriminating and may be especially particular about her diet, hygiene, and health habits. Jazz has high aesthetic standards and refined sensitivities, and is bothered by environmental elements (such as disorder, cigarette smoke, etc.) that others overlook. Her tastes are simple and understated, yet refined. She is truly offended by coarseness, bluntness and vulgarity. Begnaud can sometimes be difficult to live with because of her fastidiousness, sensitivity and idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.

Though Carlene Begnaud seems rather cool and self-contained, she is very helpful by nature and enjoys serving others. She is content to play a supporting role rather than the lead. She is quietly devoted to the ones she cares for.

She is cautious, realistic and practical in her approach to life and disinclined to gamble. Carlene Begnaud analyzes before she acts. She is sometimes too serious. If Begnaud allowed herself to play and make mistakes, it would be highly beneficial to her health!

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Begnaud. Carlene Begnaud 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. Carlene Begnaud may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

The above description of Carlene Begnaud is so deeply ingrained that she has little objectivity and often little appreciation for other, different ways of approaching life. Carlene Begnaud tends to be one-sided. There is little ambiguity in her makeup and she generally knows what she wants and what will make her happy.

Carlene Begnaud tends to see things from her perspective only and to be rather subjective. She also enjoys talking and expressing her views but does not always listen as well. Carlene Begnaud has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and she needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

She is a positive, vital, energetic and active go-getter. She enjoys competition, and her initiative and self-confidence make Carlene Begnaud a winner.

Begnaud occasionally gambles, splurges or overextends herself in ways that may be at odds with her usual way of doing things. Exaggerating her accomplishments or spending too much in order to impress others and build up her own self-esteem can be a problem. However, Carlene Begnaud also has faith and an optimistic side, which enable her to recover from the negative consequences of her excesses, and to learn from them.

While Carlene Begnaud does have a strong drive, she frequently holds herself back. One of her challenges lies in learning to endure frustration and to patiently overcome the obstacles in her life (or her own internal caution and resistance!).

However she also has a more somber side, which keeps Begnaud's optimism from becoming ungrounded or overblown. Carlene Begnaud tends to seesaw between her faith, vision and high aspirations, and her caution and realism (or fear!). She cannot and does not rely on good luck or grace alone, and she accepts the need for hard work. Her skeptical or "somber" side is described below.

Carlene Begnaud has a healthy amount of self-control and self-discipline. Begnaud also radiates a rather responsible, trustworthy, solid feeling about herself which will win her the confidence of others, especially her superiors.

Along with her energy and drive, Carlene Begnaud has high ideals and an active fantasy life. There is a dreamer and an idealist in Begnaud, as well as a doer and a fighter. Jazz wants to win but not at the expense of others, and this may be somewhat of a dilemma for her.

While she is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Carlene Begnaud also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.

Jazz is extremely sensitive and imaginative, and she can get lost in her dreams, fantasies and visions. She is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, as well as to the world of color, beauty, and emotion. Carlene Begnaud is also drawn to mysticism and she has deep spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace loving, Begnaud may lack the will and competitive spirit needed to make her way in the world. She is often impractical and may seek to avoid or escape the harsh realities of life.
