Cheryl Crane
motivation

As described in the previous chapter, Cheryl Crane instinctively protects, nurtures and supports others, and as discussed below, she loves to be a leader. The combination of these two sides of Crane results in her being a good leader of her family, or any club or group to which she belongs. Cheryl Crane treats people with a lot of personal attention and care and is appreciated as a result.

She also often takes things too personally and many times Cheryl Crane thinks that things are directed at her personally when they are not.

Behind Crane's rather gentle, soft appearance she is very willful and stubborn, a surprise to people as they get to know her better.

Proud and intensely individual, Cheryl Crane really wants to stand out, to be the very best she can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for her unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to her, and she cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Cheryl Crane must put her personal stamp on whatever she does, and direct her own course in life. Cheryl Crane needs to have a place where she can shine, express herself creatively, and be the one in charge.

Cheryl has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. Cheryl Crane also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.

For Cheryl Crane, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and she secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Cheryl wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. She needs someone to believe in her and her dreams. Though Crane appears radiantly self-confident and independent, she is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. She cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

Cheryl Crane also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person she loves feel special. Cheryl Crane loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in her relationships. She is also immensely loyal and will defend her loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend her pride or betray her trust. However, Cheryl Crane likes to be the strong one in her relationships and she really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Cheryl needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as she is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with her.

Crane's strengths are her zest and love for life, her creative power and her warm and generous heart. Her primary fault is her tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression she is making and with her own creative self-expression that she forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around her.

Cheryl Crane has a clear sense of her own self and she therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who she is and what she wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Crane can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but she competes and often clash with other strong individuals. Cheryl Crane feels a need to be in control of her own life and she can be too self-involved, too immersed in her own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

She is blessed with abundant optimism, self-confidence and cheerful generosity. Her good will and friendliness win her many allies. Cheryl Crane also has grand visions and aspirations, and the desire to succeed in life in a big way. Cheryl expects the best, and usually gets it.

She is very open and receptive to the spiritual, intangible, and subtle realms, and can easily receive or give conscious guidance based on her inner attunement. Cheryl Crane takes many things for granted, such as the existence of an afterlife or the effects of subtle influences like aromatherapy, spiritual healing, etc. These things seem obvious to Cheryl, whereas to many people they are a matter of conjecture or even illusory. Cheryl Crane may not realize she has spiritual gifts because they come so naturally to her.

Inwardly she is zealous and fanatical, though she may hide her personal desires and intentions, as well as the intensity of her feelings. She is driven by a deep inner sense of destiny and mission and an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition. Cheryl is infatuated with power, incredibly willful and stubbornly fixated on achieving greatness or being someone Special. Cheryl Crane tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma, and she often seeks to emulate them. Cheryl has potential for tremendous good or tremendous evil.

She prefers more serious kinds of conversation with her friends and neighbors rather than small talk. Because her communication is clear and concise, Cheryl Crane can impress others by taking control of negotiations or business dealings.

Cheryl Crane has a great need for security which she may seek in a partner who could be older than her and perhaps married before. Cheryl Crane probably feels restrained in expressing affection, giving the impression of being cool and indifferent toward those she loves.
