Sandra Hess
motivation

Although Sandra Hess appears gentle and sympathetic toward others (as explained in the previous chapter), she is also a "warrior". Hess sometimes feels torn between these two facets of her character: the sensitive, tenderhearted, home-loving side, and the assertive, competitive, risk-taking side. People who first meet Sandra Hess often think that she is a "softy", but later find out that she is strong willed and pursues her goals aggressively.

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. Sandra Hess 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 Hess' gods, and she has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Sandra Hess 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. Sandra likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

Sandra Hess 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, Sandra Hess also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following her own star are the breath of life for Hess, and she wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if she cannot do this.

She is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Sandra Hess believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and she perceives herself as a strong, even invincible, person. Sandra Hess 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 Hess' relationships. Her impatience to get on with things causes Sandra Hess to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. She also frequently tries to accomplish her goals through anger or temper tantrums. Sandra Hess would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however her energetic, restless nature rarely allows Sandra Hess to do so.

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Hess. Sandra Hess has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. She is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Sandra Hess may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

Sandra Hess tends to think and act bravely and has a positive and firm demeanor. Sandra has what it takes to make her own way in life. She may be a bit excitable, but never shy away from a good argument.

Both sensitive and sensuous, Sandra blends charm and energy. Sandra Hess has a healthy sexuality and a good balance between activity and passivity. She may be fond of singing, dancing, music and drama. Romance comes easily to Sandra, and her romantic relationships are passionate.

Her courage to face life seems to be a bit on the low side and Sandra Hess is prone to worry a lot. Fear of her own inadequacies could distort her perspective and deplete her strength to go on in the direction she has chosen.
