Heroes
Those who are unafraid to be who they are, know who they know, to speak the truth. Those who don't allow themselves to live under the dictatorship of media and conditioning; those who don't allow others to tell them how to dress, act and groom themselves, who do not wait for the latest trends to define who they are. Those who remember not to judge by the colour of another's skin, but the shade of their heart. Who stand up for the underdog. Whose minds aren't steel traps ready to snap shut over anything that does not fit into their narrow, brassbound view of the worldA Warrior's courage lies in the willingness to be vulnerable - a terrifying thing - to open your heart to other's and feel true compassion. To stand up for what you believe even if it means standing outside of the norm.
What Type of Person Are You? [pictures + detailed results]
The optimist - The hopeful
Often seen as the happy one with a carefree attitude, the Optimist has a dislike for feeling down. When a bad situation or dilemma arises, they prefer to look on the bright side. A negative outlook will not make things better, and the Optimist finds it that they're better off believing in the good and be happy, with the occasional letdown, instead of having bad premonitions all the time and worry about it. After all, it is certainly nicer to feel happy rather than sad, so why not enjoy yourself while you can? It is not that they're stupid, they know bad things can happen. But they want to believe, and can therefore be naive. Their attitude doesn't mean they are social people, for this factor varies, but the Optimist likes to spend time with those they care about and have fun. Perceived as air headed, they can be as well. For the future they have hope, and not many things can get them down for a longer period of time. Of course they can feel sad and cry, but by sharing their feelings and wishing for the better and not dwelling on the problem, they recover. The Optimist rather prefers to think of what they'll be doing later that day/week. Entertainment is one of their best friends. Quote:"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." Buddha
What is your element? [with pics + detailed answeres]
Your element is Light. Your heart is pure and shining with love. You believe in the goodness of those around you and give almost everyone a smile. You are not the kind to hide your happiness and tend to smile all day long, both in and out. But when sadness hits you, you become very devastated and may be upset for quite some time. What you need in your life is friends, friends who will love you unconditionally, like you love them. But you have a naive nature and don't always notice when someone is trying to hurt you. Some would say you are oblivious to mean people, which makes you an easy target. However, your true friends will probably be there for you and save you. In school you are either the popular one or the little weird one. It all depends if "the higher people" find your caring side irritating or not. Nevertheless, you have a bubbly personality and are social. Big partys may not be your thing since you want bonding time with your friends, so slumber-partys fit you more. You like the happy things in life and like everyone else to be as happy as you are. Take this quiz!

Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world
So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time
You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all...
But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult
You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you.
Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses.
Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others.
Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life.
Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul
You scored as Traveler, You are a Traveler Empath, you come from a time & place far removed from here. You are an innocent, in search of your own kin and have a difficult time understanding this world. You are lost & only want to find your way back home. You bring unique gifts to this world and share them with a loving heart. Although very misunderstood, you are also very forgiving. (from the "Book of Storms" by Jad Alexander at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Empaths/)
Who I'd like to meet: Those with depth and intellegence who want to live far beyond the 9-5 doing of life. Who appreciate sarcasm as the art form it is - yet aren't beyond making the silliest pun and don't take themselves to seriously. Artists (cartoon and other) photographers who want to help realize a dream of creating sarcastic cards in the guise of innocuous sweetness ordinary cards wear. Hellmark not Hallmark. And of course those that speak of Ultimate Recognition but not in the form of trite phrases. Those who think about 2012 - maybe Mayans simply get bored and end the calender? Personally I love the uncertainty. Up until now I've always lived on the edge, moving cross country with little more than a job offer, and one suitcase full of clothes and one of writing. I've been writing forever - its just as much a fire hazard as a hobby. Neil Gaimen, Lord Byron, David Bowie)

"The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step".
~Chinese Proverb
You must take the first step to win any race.
The first step will take some effort and maybe some pain.
But after that, everything you have to do is real-life movement.
Once you're moving you must keep moving.
Create a definite plan for carrying out your desires
and begin at once, whether you're ready or not,
to put your plan into action.
If you can get up the courage to begin,
you have the courage to succeed.
You can only fail if you fail to start.
I wish you pure success in all you dreams,
May you have a beautiful end of the week
Many Blessings and love,
Your friend,
**RaK**
