Lupe Vélez
motivation

Lupe Vélez seems much more objective, unemotional and matter-of-fact than she really is. Despite her fussiness and perfectionism (described in the previous chapter), she is actually very caring and loving. Lupe Vélez needs to make sure to openly express her feelings because otherwise, others do not realize how much she cares about them.

Lupe has powerful emotional attachments to the past, her family, her childhood, places she associates with safety and security, and her beginnings. It is very important to Vélez to maintain a connection with her roots and heritage and keep family bonds strong. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, Vélez tends to cling to whatever is dear to her - be it a person, a familiar place, or a cherished possession.

She is sympathetic, nurturing, supportive and very sensitive to the emotional needs of other people. Lupe likes to be needed and to care for others, and she often worries about the people she loves. Lupe Vélez has a very strong need for a sense of belonging and acceptance, and much of her life centers on her home. She is more concerned about people and their feelings than with power, achievement, or position in society. Kindness, consideration and tenderness are more meaningful to Lupe Vélez than any sort of honor the world can bestow.

She is primarily emotional and her views are often dominated by her feelings and her own personal, subjective experiences, rather than reason, logic or abstract principles. It is difficult for her to judge situations fairly and objectively because her personal sympathies and loyalties usually factor in. Lupe Vélez takes things very personally and sometimes builds a wall around herself to shield herself from pain and rejection. Lupe Vélez feels rather shy and vulnerable at heart. She also tends to be moody and experiences frequent mood swings. Lupe Vélez needs to have a place and time in her life to withdraw, introspect, dream and replenish herself; otherwise Lupe Vélez becomes cranky and unhappy with those around her.

Lupe Vélez functions in an instinctive, irrational manner and likes to immerse herself in creative activities where she can express her feelings, imagination and instincts. Vélez often loves to cook, since it can be both creative and a way to nurture and nourish others. Lupe Vélez also has a great affinity for music, because it evokes and communicates feelings that may be difficult or impossible to put into words.

Her compassion, sensitivity, and imagination are Vélez's strong points. Her faults include an inability to let go of the past and move forward, clannishness and prejudice, and a tendency for self-pity when facing hardship.

Her career, reputation, and public image are very important to Vélez. Lupe Vélez has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy her; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Lupe Vélez may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

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

While Lupe Vélez 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!).

She is often plagued by feelings of personal inadequacy, inhibitions and self-doubt. Lupe Vélez has a cautious, realistic attitude toward life and is highly responsible and disciplined with regard to her obligations and duties. Lupe Vélez tends to work and struggle more than necessary and to take herself too seriously.

Her mind is very active and her judgment usually is sound. Although Lupe Vélez's thinking is influenced by her feelings, she is inclined to think in realistic and practical terms. She is in control of her feelings and is able to express them rationally.
