Ruth Westheimer
motivation

The way Ruth Westheimer appears or comes across to others is very congruent with her true nature so "what she sees is what you get". The description below reinforces what you read about Ruth in the previous chapter.

Ruth Westheimer is, in many ways, an eternal child. Her mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful and always eager for new experiences - and her attention span is often quite brief. Westheimer grasps ideas quickly and once her initial curiosity has been satisfied, she is ready to move on. Ruth Westheimer craves frequent change and variety, as well as new situations and people.

It may be hard for Ruth Westheimer to decide just where her talents and true vocation lie, for she has a multitude of interests and is loathe limiting herself by concentrating on just one. She is easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities. Her curiosity and restlessness propel Ruth toward many different experiences in life, and she is willing to taste or try anything once. Doing the same thing over and over again, even if it is something she does well, is tantamount to drudgery for Westheimer.

Ruth Westheimer lives in her head a great deal - reading, observing, thinking, spinning ideas around - and she needs mental stimulation every bit as much as she needs food and drink. In fact, if Ruth had to choose between a good book or movie and a good lunch, she would very likely choose the former. Ruth Westheimer has a creative mind and she often lives by her wits.

She is also a very social creature, with a strong need to communicate and interact with people. She enjoys using and playing with words and has a real flair for getting her ideas across in a clever, interesting, articulate manner. Writing and/or speaking are areas she has talent for.

Ruth Westheimer also has a rather lighthearted and mischievous sense of humor, and often does not take anything too seriously. Though she craves emotional involvement, it is hard for Ruth Westheimer to achieve it, for she is frequently unwilling to commit herself to anything, to take responsibility or to limit her personal freedom and mobility.

Her happiness lies in using her creativity and language skills to communicate something meaningful, teach, inspire, or bring people together. Ruth has an unbiased mind and can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. Her faults are her lack of constancy and persistence, and her tendency to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other people's feelings.

Ruth Westheimer 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, Westheimer can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but she competes and often clash with other strong individuals. Ruth Westheimer 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.

Westheimer can be an inspiring leader of a team or group effort. Her dynamism and energy evokes the same in others, and she sees healthy competition between people as a plus. Generally, Ruth Westheimer enjoys fine health as well.

While Ruth Westheimer 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 may have had a demanding and perfectionist or absent father. In any case, a lack of support and approval, a great deal of responsibility at an early age and an underlying feeling that she can never quite measure up may hold Westheimer back. While she may encounter a great deal of adversity and struggle alone through many of life's trials, this makes Ruth Westheimer tough and determined. However, Westheimer should beware of becoming cynical, too hard on herself, and too demanding and critical of others.
