Rachel Corrie
motivation

Although Rachel Corrie is a team player who puts the group's welfare ahead of her own, she is also very competitive and aggressive. When her colleagues do exude as much energy as she does, Rachel Corrie quickly becomes discouraged, frustrated and alienated from the group. Corrie can also make an excellent leader, manager or coach by leading the team, group, or company to excellence.

She is a person who thrives on challenge, and she often feels that she must battle her way through life, relying on no one and nothing but her own strength, intelligence and courage. Rachel Corrie believes in being totally honest, true to herself and her own vision and convictions, even if it means standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor and authenticity are Corrie's gods, and she has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Rachel Corrie craves the freedom to do things in her own way, and she works very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying out another's will is not her style. Rachel likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

Rachel Corrie loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, then she is always ready to stir things up, do something new, make changes and introduce some fresh blood. Routine and sameness are tantamount to death for her. She is not afraid of trying something that has never been done before, and even though she may sometimes be perceived as a fool, Rachel Corrie also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following her own star are the breath of life for Corrie, and she wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if she cannot do this.

She is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Rachel Corrie believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and she perceives herself as a strong, even invincible, person. Rachel Corrie hates being ill or in a position of dependency. Accepting her own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for her.

She is basically aggressive in her attitudes and less adept at relating to others, picking up on subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing and harmonizing. She is often so fired up about her own projects or goals that she inadvertently runs over or ignores other people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of others' contributions, ideas and feelings would be highly instrumental in improving Corrie's relationships. Her impatience to get on with things causes Rachel Corrie to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. She also frequently tries to accomplish her goals through anger or temper tantrums. Rachel Corrie would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however her energetic, restless nature rarely allows Rachel Corrie to do so.

Ownership gives Rachel Corrie a sense of security, and she has a strong attachment to her possessions. Rachel also has a natural instinct or understanding of economics, finance, trade, and appraising the value of merchandise.

At times Rachel Corrie may feel an uncontrollable urge to radically alter her direction in life, or to act in ways that seem eccentric or at least highly uncharacteristic of her. When her life is becoming too predictable, Rachel may do something to upset the status quo, sometimes without realizing why or how she is doing this. These impulses may seem at odds with her conscious intent and desires for herself, and can be unsettling. However, there is a streak of unconventionality and creative genius in Rachel Corrie which needs to be expressed now and then.

She is imaginative and sensitive to anything colorful, beautiful or magical. She is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, music and mysticism. Her spiritual values color Rachel's whole perspective and approach to life. She is idealistic and perhaps impractical.

She is infused with a sense of personal destiny or mission and can be extremely driven, obsessed and fanatical. Learning about power and how to use it effectively is definitely on her agenda. Rachel Corrie confronts abusive power, tyranny and dominating people who will teach her about power and eventually force Corrie to claim her own.

Rachel Corrie tends to become excited and upset at the slightest cause, generating tension with others. Rachel also could encounter strange experiences or coincidences with others. She may have a feeling of being different than others and she wants to be her own person.
