Lisa Ray
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Lisa's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Lisa Ray comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Lisa Ray - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Lisa Ray" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Lisa a little better. This page describes the disguise Ray wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Lisa Ray appears gentle and soft, and she acts rather reserved with others until she knows them well and feels it is safe to be open with them. Lisa has a strong need for emotional security and a sense of belonging, and is deeply attached to the past: her heritage, roots, family, cherished friends, familiar places, etc. Making radical changes or moves away from what is familiar and safe can be very painful and difficult for her. Ray tends to cling to people, memories and possessions of personal or sentimental significance. Having a home, a safe haven, is very important to Ray.

Ray approaches life emotionally and subjectively and she is sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents of feeling in and around her. Instinctive and non-rational, Lisa Ray is often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for her actions. Something either feels right, or it does not.

Her emotions and personal loyalties tend to color Lisa's thoughts and opinions. She views life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach herself from her own personal bias and prejudices. She is apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects her and those dear and close to her, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. For instance, she may be very patriotic and feel that whatever "my country" does is right without really knowing much about the other nation's policies or point of view. Simply put: if it is good for Lisa and her near and dear ones, then it is good. If it is not good for her and her near and dear ones, it is no good.

She is tenaciously loyal, protective, and supportive of those she cares about, and has a very strong nurturing, paternal nature. Lisa Ray empathizes with others and intuitively senses the feelings and needs of other people. Compassionate and sympathetic, she is easily moved by others' pain, and Lisa Ray is often the one that others seek out when they need comfort, reassurance, or help.

Her moods fluctuate and change frequently and she is sometimes open and sometimes withdrawn emotionally. Lisa Ray communicates nonverbally and appreciates a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit.

Lisa never forgets either kindness or unkindness shown to her.

Lisa Ray has a sweet, appealing demeanor and seems instinctively to grasp the concept that "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar". Her personal brand of charm is usually quite winning. Lisa coaxes rather than coerces. However, if she does not get what she wants, Lisa Ray is likely to resort to insincere flattery, wheedling, whining or pouting rather than stating directly what she needs, or doing it for herself. Ray seems to need others' approval first.

Lisa has penetrating insight into people and a keen eye and ear for the hidden, unspoken, behind-the-scenes facets of life. She may seem intense and make other people a bit uncomfortable at times. There is also a sexual quality in Lisa's manner which can be quite alluring, in a subtle way.
