Shiri Appleby
motivation
Because Shiri Appleby seems to be such a gentle, tolerant, accepting person (as mentioned in the previous chapter), she can startle people with some of her very pointed, bluntly honest statements. Even though she is sensitive and empathetic, she can also be quite tactless at times. Her good will and good intentions, however, usually prevail. With Appleby's free-flowing imagination (described earlier) and her great restlessness (discussed below), she is apt to be a wanderer, and perhaps somewhat of an escapist.
She is a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to discover and explore new worlds, and to travel the untried path rather than the safe, reliable one. She is independent, freedom loving, and often very restless. She needs a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement, change, and meeting new people. A steady routine, which offers much in the way of security but little in the way of space and freedom, is odious to her.
To Shiri Appleby, life is a journey and an adventure that is endlessly interesting and rich with possibilities, and it may be difficult for her to decide where to focus her attention and efforts. Shiri Appleby probably traveled around and experimented with many different paths before she settled on a particular career. Or she may go from one project to the next, for once the challenge and vital interest is gone, she is very quick to move on. Commitment, discipline, focus and concentration are not her strong points. Appleby can be irresponsible and disinclined to take on the burdens and limitations of adult life.
An incurable optimist, she has big dreams, aspirations and hopes for the future and is usually engaged in pursuing a far-off goal. Shiri Appleby has a great deal of faith and trust in life and failures do not crush her spirit. Appleby always bounces back from disappointments, often with another bright dream or scheme. Shiri Appleby has a sporting, playful attitude toward life and she is philosophical about her mistakes. Shiri has the ability to sense future trends, to see the big picture, and she likes to theorize and speculate. However, she gets annoyed with all the details and practical requirements required to implement her theories.
Appleby expresses herself in a very open, direct and straightforward manner and is often blunt and tactless as well. Because she does not take herself too seriously, she may not realize how deeply her candid statements can wound more sensitive souls. In fact, though she may not realize it, Shiri's insensitivity and lack of understanding regarding others' feelings is probably one of her worst faults.
Shiri Appleby enjoys being in close relationships but also needs freedom and she does not do well with a possessive, clinging, or emotionally demanding partner. She is quite generous, and heartily dislikes pettiness in others. Someone who shares her ideals, her sense of fun and her zest for life would be the right companion for Appleby.
Appleby is very attracted to world travel, foreign cultures and studies that expand her intellectual horizons and broaden her understanding of the world.
Shiri Appleby is philosophically inclined and concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting an overall picture of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy her mind much of the time.
Shiri Appleby 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. Shiri Appleby has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and she needs constant mental stimulation and activity.
She is often plagued by feelings of personal inadequacy, inhibitions and self-doubt. Shiri Appleby has a cautious, realistic attitude toward life and is highly responsible and disciplined with regard to her obligations and duties. Shiri Appleby tends to work and struggle more than necessary and to take herself too seriously.
While she is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Shiri Appleby also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.
Sensitive and imaginative, she is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits and to mysticism. Shiri Appleby is impressionable and receptive, and often has experiences that are unusual and unexplainable by the rational mind. Shiri has an abundance of dreams, visions and longings, but does not always have the concentrated will and stamina to make them materialize. Gentle, idealistic and peace loving, Shiri often seeks to avoid the harsh realities of life. Shiri has an ethereal quality about her.
Shiri Appleby undergoes deep, transformative changes in her life with relative ease and a minimum of conscious resistance. Because she does not avoid the depths, Appleby has access to a lot of personal power and strength. Without realizing it or seeking it, Shiri is apt to have quite a potent effect on the people she comes into contact with, even superficially. Others sense that Shiri Appleby is a force to be reckoned with.
She is very receptive and sensitive but has a tendency to over-idealize, making her approach to love relationships, romance or marriage somewhat unrealistic. Shiri Appleby also tends to be a bit absent-minded and naive, leaving herself open for being taken, swindled or lied to.
Shiri Appleby has a harmonious balance between her body, soul and spirit. She enjoys intellectual challenges from others, but tends to form her own mental attitudes and philosophies of life. She may be interested in studying human nature and matters of health.
