Vendela Kirsebom
motivation

Vendela has two very different sides to her. Sometimes she is the playful, curious child described in the previous chapter while at others she is the serious, detached adult. Few people can vacillate between these two extremes to the extent that Vendela does. In fact her detachment and objectivity is evident even when she is joking. If she loses touch with her lighter, playful side (possibly in later life), Vendela Kirsebom will become increasingly bitter and cynical. Her deeply conservative nature (discussed below) holds her restlessness in check, and she is actually less willing to bend than one would imagine based on her initial appearance.

Serious, disciplined and quietly ambitious, she is driven to prove herself and to achieve material accomplishments and success. Her work, her position in the world, and her contributions to society are very important to Kirsebom. Vendela Kirsebom will persevere through enormous hardship and frustration in order to reach a goal she has set for herself, and she often sacrifices much in the area of personal relationships and home life in order to do so.

Vendela Kirsebom has a thoughtful, quiet and self-contained disposition and does not readily show her inner feelings and needs. Vendela Kirsebom seems to always be in control, capable, efficient and strong. She is often the person in the family or group who is given more responsibility (and more work) than the others. She is highly conscientious and even as a child she possessed great maturity, soberness, and worldly wisdom.

She is basically a pragmatic realist, and though she may have all sorts of dreams, ideals and colorful theories, she feels that the ultimate test of a concept is its practical usefulness. Vendela has an innate shrewdness and business sense, and there is a bit of the cynic in her as well.

She is clear-headed, detached and objective, and is not swayed by emotional dramatics. She is often authoritarian - strictly fair, but without mercy. Vendela Kirsebom has a great respect for tradition and even if she does not agree with certain laws, she will abide by them or strive to change them, but never flagrantly disregard them. Cautious and conservative, Vendela Kirsebom plays by the rules.

She is subtle, understated, quiet, deep, not easy to get to know intimately, and never superficial. She is a modest person and sometimes overly self-critical. Giving herself (and others) permission to feel, play, be spontaneous and silly, and sometimes weak and vulnerable is not easy for Kirsebom.

Kirsebom's strong points are her depth and thoroughness, patience, tenacity and faithfulness. Her faults are a tendency to be rigid and inflexible, and too serious.

World travel, foreign cultures, and studies which expand her intellectual horizons and broaden her understanding of the world are very attractive to Kirsebom.

Vendela Kirsebom has a philosophical turn of mind and is concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting the overview of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy her mind much of the time.

She is very open and receptive to the spiritual, intangible, and subtle realms, and can easily receive or give conscious guidance based on her inner attunement. Vendela Kirsebom takes many things for granted, such as the existence of an afterlife or the effects of subtle influences like aromatherapy, spiritual healing, etc. These things seem obvious to Vendela, whereas to many people they are a matter of conjecture or even illusory. Vendela Kirsebom may not realize she has spiritual gifts because they come so naturally to her.
