Sandra Day O'Connor
motivation

Behind O'Connor's rather pragmatic, hardheaded exterior (mentioned in the previous chapter), she is an adventurer and a risk-taker at heart. Her cool, conservative manner masks a much more fiery core.

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 Day O'Connor 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 O'Connor's gods, and she has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

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

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

The urge to learn and to communicate is essential to Sandra Day O'Connor, and she expresses herself very well through writing, teaching or sharing ideas and information. O'Connor is persuasive and fluent with language.

Restless and inquisitive, Sandra enjoys being mobile and taking short trips and excursions in order to see for herself what is going on in the world around her.

Sandra Day O'Connor tends to see things from her perspective only and to be rather subjective. She also enjoys talking and expressing her views but does not always listen as well. Sandra Day O'Connor has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and she needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

Innovative, original, unorthodox and unconventional, she identifies with the role of a rebel, reformer or iconoclast. Sandra Day O'Connor insists upon a great deal of personal freedom and does not easily adapt to others' needs and wishes. Sandra needs a lifestyle that allows her to be spontaneous. She often feels that she is somehow different from other people and outside of society's mainstream.

She may be a bit high-strung and over-zealous in the pursuit of her endeavors. O'Connor always seems to be in a hurry and has the ability to evaluate situations quickly. Sandra Day O'Connor has a brilliant mind and possibly could invent something.

Sandra Day O'Connor has a basic need to fit in with others and is always willing to cooperate. She enjoys working with others as a team and is a well liked comrade.
