Shannon Lee
motivation

Behind Lee's proud and magnanimous demeanor (as described on the previous page) lays a real go-getter. Others feel that she is rather narcissistic. Shannon Lee should strive to always be aware of others' needs and concerns to prove this criticism wrong!

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. Shannon Lee 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 Lee's gods, and she has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Shannon Lee 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. Shannon likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

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

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

Her career, reputation, and public image are very important to Lee. Shannon Lee 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. Shannon Lee may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

Lee occasionally gamble, splurge, or overextend herself in ways that may be quite at odds with her usual way of doing things. Exaggerating her accomplishments or spending too much in order to impress others and build up her own self-esteem can be a problem. However, Shannon Lee also has faith and an optimistic side, which enable her to recover from the negative consequences of her excesses, and to learn from them.

However she also has a more somber side, which keeps Lee's optimism from becoming ungrounded or overblown. Shannon Lee tends to seesaw between her faith, vision and high aspirations, and her caution and realism (or fear!). She cannot and does not rely on good luck or grace alone, and she accepts the need for hard work. Her skeptical or "somber" side is described below.

Shannon Lee has a mature and often somber demeanor. She is serious, reserved, self-disciplined, highly responsible and conscientious. She progresses rather slowly in life, through her own efforts and persistence. She is also rather stern and judgmental, especially with herself. Cautious and careful, it is difficult for her to really let go, be spontaneous and playful. Shannon likes to be in control of herself.

Although she takes herself and her responsibilities seriously, there is also a part of Shannon Lee that rebels against rules and restrictions and the need to contend with outside authority. Lee can feel torn between conforming to the rules or fulfilling her obligations, and breaking free of them. Her wilder side will now be described.

At times Shannon Lee 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, Shannon 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 Shannon Lee which needs to be expressed now and then.

While she is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Shannon Lee also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.

Shannon Lee tends to be very impressionable and psychically open, and as a youngster, she could have been dominated in her relationships with more forceful personalities. Afraid of confrontation, Lee may have become passive, identified herself as a helpless victim, or tried to gain her desires in underhanded ways.

Shannon's hypersensitivity to her environment is apt to be a challenge for her in other ways as well. Pollutants, ugliness, or dissonance in any form is apt to affect Shannon Lee more than most people.

Her courage to face life seems to be a bit on the low side and Shannon Lee 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.

Her physique tends to be sensitive and her vitality may be a bit low. Shannon Lee is very impressionable and somewhat unrealistic. Sometimes her idealism could be confused or impractical, and Lee can be rebellious or else apathetic.
