Shari Belafonte
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Shari's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Shari Belafonte comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Shari Belafonte - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Shari Belafonte" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Shari a little better. This page describes the disguise Belafonte wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

High-spirited, enthusiastic, and exuberant, Shari loves adventure, change and exploring new territory. She is not happy with being confined to the same safe, familiar, secure little world all the time. Shari Belafonte has a strong sense of restlessness and yearning for something greater than anything she has yet experienced, and she often lives in her dreams and visions for the future. Shari Belafonte tends to believe that the grass is greener somewhere else, and she likes to keep moving, either literally or figuratively. Idealistic and optimistic, she always expects something better ahead. Shari Belafonte loves to have a goal, something to aim for, but once she achieves it she is on to something else. She is ever on the lookout for new opportunities and she is a gambler, willing to take risks and to break new ground. The possibility of discovering something new is what makes life interesting for her. Shari Belafonte has great faith in life and she bounces back quickly from disappointment and failure.

Freedom loving and independent, Shari Belafonte cannot tolerate being caged in for very long, and friends and loved ones must respect her need for freedom of movement. Binding commitments, responsibilities and relationships often weigh heavily upon Shari and she may resist "growing up" and assuming the limitations of adult life.

She is friendly and outgoing and has a great sense of fun and playfulness. She is also philosophically minded and often quite outspoken about her convictions and beliefs. Sometimes Shari Belafonte gets carried away with her enthusiasm of the moment and she tends to exaggerate. She is often a big talker, a big maker of promises, and she is usually pretty convincing. She does everything in a big way, a generous way. Belafonte likes to have the best, and she heartily dislikes stinginess, small mindedness or pettiness. Her vision is always large. She is able to perceive the big picture, general patterns and principles, and she is well suited to politics, business, higher education or religion.

Others see Shari Belafonte as a good sport and a good friend, but one who is not always consistent and dependable. She may also be seen as a wise person since she does not get bogged down in pettiness and trivialities, and is able to communicate a broader perspective that opens up new horizons. She is a person who believes in miracles, grace, or just plain good luck, someone who never gives up on life, and she inspires and encourages others to keep looking ahead.

There is an intense and somewhat secretive or guarded quality about Shari Belafonte which may make people around her distinctly uncomfortable. They may feel that Shari is constantly monitoring their inner motives, and she probably is. Belafonte sees through anything phony, any false pretense - and she may or may not be above using others' Achilles' heels (which she perceives so clearly) against them. At times, however, Shari Belafonte may be too suspicious and assign negative intentions to innocent people. Shari should avoid always looking on the dark side.

Shari Belafonte comes across as liberal and open-minded. Anything new, innovative, unusual or off the beaten track arouses her interest. Belafonte infuses her environment with enthusiasm, new life and excitement. Though not intentionally disruptive, Shari Belafonte does enjoy startling or waking people up a bit.

Shari Belafonte can get by in life almost on her personality alone. There is a radiant, warm, attractive quality about Shari that others cannot help responding to favorably. Usually she appears confident and clear about who she is, and it is very difficult not to notice her or feel her influence when Belafonte is around.

Shari Belafonte loves children and young people and is likely to provide an intellectually stimulating environment for them. Belafonte is inclined to lead an active social life and establishing relationships with others comes easy to her.
