Aint it funny how some feelings you just cant deny,
And you cant move on, no matter how hard you try?!?
Im sick of the hooks ups, the set ups, the fawk ups,
the girls who only want one thing, the girl who doesnt know what she wants, and the lady who knows what she wants but doesnt want to admit it!
..I JUST WANT THE REALLY REAL THING!!!..

I have a tender heart. I have a deep sense of compassion. I can show genuine insight into the needs of others; I’m good at listening and talking; and I express a genuine desire to be helpful. Yes, I know that others need to learn to take care of themselves. Yes, I know they need to accept the consequences of their foolish or bad behavior. And sometimes, even when my instinct is to help them, I will let them fend for themselves and let them suffer the consequences of their choices or circumstances. But most of the time I am there to help when they need me. If they are in trouble, I offer compassion and go out of my way to be helpful. If they need someone who will listen, I am trustworthy and sympathetic. And I’m direct with them; when they need advice or counsel, I offer it in a straightforward, direct manner, without beating around the bush. I’m also smart enough to know that I cannot take good care of others if I fail to take good care of myself, so I listen to my own wants and needs. If I've run out of sympathetic energy, I spend time restoring myself. If I've ignored my own pain or frustration, I find a friend who will listen well, or go into my own private healing place and give myself permission to focus on me. But before long, I’m back at it with friends, offering a sympathetic ear and compassion on which they learn to trust, also giving straightforward advice and counsel when they ask for it. I do know how to take care of myself, but my genuine interest is in taking care of others.

Selfish people might be embarrassed by me. While they're using their time and energy almost exclusively on themselves, they see me giving time to others, and my kindness puts them in a bad light.
Maybe they'll think I’m a phony, that I use my altruism to get others indebted to me so they'll then owe me a favor. Or perhaps they'll accuse me, directly or behind my back, of focusing on the needs of
others so no one ever focuses on my foibles or my genuine wounds.
All of these are false accusations; mine is a genuine compassion, because I truly have a tender heart. One criticism might be more substantial, though. People might notice when I let things get out of balance and spend so much time responding to others that I neglect my own needs.
Perhaps it's true to some extent that I am more comfortable when the focus is on someone else's needs than when me and my needs are front and center, and this may be a criticism worth paying attention to.

For many people, my genuine kindness will be an example of a way to treat others and a way we want others to treat us. They will see in me the traits of compassion and sympathy which they might want to focus on in the development of their own character.
For those people I help,  I will be the friend they need, there at the right moment to help them when they've stepped into yet another thicket of pain or confusion. They will be grateful for my listening, for my straight talk when they need straight talk more than anything, and for the hand I extend so they can find their way, with my help, out of whatever tangle they've gotten themselves into.

I have a firm grip on reality and enjoy living in the present tense. But I have a keen imagination that enables me to lift off from time and space to be remarkably creative. I’m especially open to new ideas or new ways of thinking about old problems. I love to approach a conventional idea or a traditional way of doing things by walking around to the other side and explore it from a novel perspective. What's new is what interests me. Like an artist looking for a new way to see, I focus my imagination on envisioning ideas, events or problems in completely original ways. I am intellectually progressive, which means I like to think and feel my way into unexplored landscapes where I let my sense of intellectual adventure romp freely. Because I am so curious I can also be very teachable. I learn from personal and interpersonal experiences as well as from classrooms and textbooks. I absolutely crave new information, and toss and turn it in my vivid imagination. When I come across an idea from someone else or a thought in my own head that is particularly provocative or original, I light up. With wit and wisdom, Dr. Seuss would describe me like this: "Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!"

Not everyone is thrilled by my adventurous mind. Many people are content with the ideas that have served them and their culture well, and with visions they've grown accustomed to of what is and is not true. They're not lit up at the prospect of moving out of their comfort zone. Others are afraid of new ways of thinking and creative ways of solving problems because they are somewhat fragile in the sense that they have trouble maintaining serenity in their current worlds and don't want someone, like me, for instance, pushing out the edges of their intellectual and cultural cosmos. So I’m not surprised if my unconventional ideas sometimes get me criticized, or if some people walk away from the explorations of new territories of the mind that I find so exhilarating.

Despite some negative responses to my style of thinking, many people find my progressive thoughts and vivid imagination quite attractive. Some will find my openness to new ways of thinking and my willingness to explore what others shy away from a very compelling quality. Other creative souls see in me a companion on the journey into the unknown, and welcome the camaraderie. Conversations with them are lively and innovative and ignite my imagination, and theirs. And then some who are less curious than me seem to be impressed by my courage to think and believe what is for them unimaginable, and by my willingness to go on adventures of the mind that they would find dangerous or daunting. For these people I think I become a kind of mentor into the wilder side of thinking and believing, and nudge them toward the creative and progressive ideas that I find so interesting.

Each one of us encounters some hard times; we get caught off guard, or feel a sudden swell of emotion, whether from fear, joy, anger or sadness. Life is just like this sometimes. I know this because I am an emotional person. Another term might be “passionate”. Some people go to great lengths to keep their emotions under wraps, to keep a stiff upper lip, to not let others know what emotions they are feeling. But that is not me. I embrace all of life's emotions, both the joys and the turmoil that life brings our way. When I’m having fun with a group of friends I don't even try to contain my pleasure; I laugh hard and feel every moment of the conversation because of the joy that comes from the experience. I make very intense friendships; ones where all of the depth of emotions that I feel can be shared. Emotions are such an essential part of my everyday life. I may cry at intense movies or when watching a sad story on the evening news. I get angry, at others or at myself, and I do not stifle it. Emotions drive my personality and my relationships - I simply am what I feel. I experience both the highs and the lows more profoundly than most. And I usually relish the intensity of my emotions. For sure I enjoy the positive times. There are those times, though, when my feelings get the best of me and I wonder how I will manage the moment. But because I am so in tune with all of my emotions I will experience something very pleasant and will be able to engage with that positive feeling to again enjoy the wonderful intensity that life brings me.

Some people find it hard to deal with my strong feelings and wish I would be more like those who are always emotionally composed and less prone to fully engage their emotions. Despite any negative reactions others may have toward me, most people are grateful for my strong emotions and my willingness to experience these emotions. They appreciate the candor with which I express even my deepest feelings, feelings they themselves might want to express but find difficult to share. My openness is an encouragement to them as well. Still others find my intensity compelling; they feel emotionally flat, and I tend to be a burst of passion in their dull worlds, and an encouragement to them to "get with" their own feelings.

Rules are made to be broken, plans are made to be changed, and schedules are made to be altered. Anyone who's been around me for very long knows that is just part of the way I live. I’m a highly spontaneous person who always likes to try new things. Novel and unpredictable situations don't bother me; instead I find them challenging and exciting. I don't like to be hemmed in by someone's idea of how a job should be done or a goal should be accomplished. Where others assume that the way to get something done is to follow whatever guidelines have been laid out, my idea of how to best get things done often involves making it up as I go along. I am as variable as a hawk in full flight - but like the hawk, I keep my eyes on the prize; even in the midst of turmoil I have a sense of where I need to go. I just have my own way of getting there. To the surprise of some of my friends and associates, I do get things done, though. But maybe not on the timeline someone else had hoped for. In fact, I have a reputation as a legendary procrastinator, not because I’m lazy or disinterested, but because following my instincts and creative sense takes longer. But the upside is that often my instincts turn the ordinary into something quite amazing; and some of the times, when I get everything just right, the ordinary original plans become an extraordinary achievement.

To be frank - it's not always easy to work with someone like me. Almost any group effort requires a certain amount of common understanding about where everyone is headed and what the plan is to get there. But with me on board, there is always the chance that I'll change the schedule, find an alternative route, or come up with a perfect argument for doing things in a completely different sequence than was planned. And that can drive some people to distraction. If that is often the case, if I find that my friends and colleagues live with a chronic sense of frustration with me; I may want to recalibrate my way of doing things when I work with them. Understand that we aren't suggesting that you change my ability to tap into my creativity or even my impulsivity. Rather we are suggesting you consider if you can stay in tune with my ingenuity in ways that will not frustrate others desire to stay on schedule and to follow predefined courses of action.

When I get it right it usually impresses even those who can get frustrated with my style. The new product line is so much more imaginative than what was drawn up on the original blueprints, and the new color scheme with which I painted the downstairs rooms is simply stunning.
When my instincts are on target and my impulses energize an otherwise lifeless plan or when I infuse a social experience with the kind of fantasy and fun that no one else could bring to the task -when it works – I’m the hero of the moment, and everyone's favorite eccentric.
This ability of mine to color outside the lines, to think outside the box - is a gift of potentially profound proportions. The trick is to blend my gift for finding new ways of doing things with completing work in slightly more organized ways. My colleagues and friends probably want in on my creative secret, too. There is just something about flexible, impulsive, creative me that reminds them that there may be something missing in their more orderly, disciplined and, frankly, somewhat boring lives.

People light me up. In conversations, planning meetings or almost any social situation, I bring my energy and my friendly, outgoing personality into these engagements with other people, and I come away pumped up. I can hardly wait for the next event, as long as other people will be there. And I’m good at it. I know how to communicate. I listen well, the first rule of good communication, and then, when it's my turn, I talk vigorously and with animation; in my uninhibited way I give all that I've got to the encounter. In situations where I feel very safe, when I know and trust the people I’m with, I can be very kindhearted and unrestrained. I let my affection for and pleasure in being with others flow freely. I’m wide open and when I get back this same kind of unrestrained warmth, I am deeply satisfied. Because I am so friendly and full of life, these are among my favorite moments.

As much as I like being with other people, not everyone likes being around me. Hard to believe, but my gregarious and warm manner is not everyone's cup of tea. Some people are more cautious than me in personal encounters; others think the work place should be more formal, more impersonal than is comfortable for me. Still others, who may want more of the spotlight, will find me too much to compete with once I get my lively and outgoing self in motion. Here's another word of caution. I've been at this warm and open way of relating for a while, but for some people it's a brand new experience. They may be protecting something inside themselves, some fear or guilt or shame, or some private part of their story that they're not yet ready to share. My openness might threaten them, and they'll take a step back and be reluctant the next time to engage me in the kind of exchange I find so easy and satisfying but they find so dangerous.

Many people, most probably, will be glad to be in the room I’m in. At work I make the environment livelier and the banter more interesting, so the time moves swiftly and the experience is a happier one. At home I keep everyone connected because I engage each of them in the
conversational action, and as a result they are more connected as well with one another. I make home a warmer and more interesting place for everyone who lives there.
I might also be helpful to some people. There are those who need to talk but aren't very good at it. They don't know how to begin the kind of conversation that would allow them to share whatever is in their personal stories that they'd like or need to talk about. I could make that easier for them with my way with words. Some people just need an example and a little encouragement to come out of their shell and get into the greater fun and personal connectedness that will make their lives so much more satisfying. Again, I might be just the right person to make that happen for them.
So almost everyone will be glad to be with me, I make life more interesting for those I live and work with, and I could help some of my friends who need just a little encouragement to open up and find in themselves the kinds of energetic and warm connections that I thrive on. Not that I am a pushover; in fact, I am often quite assertive. In taking care of myself I also make sure that others are engaged and energized.

..The Bottom Line..

Face it.

Nobody owes you a living.

What you achieve or fail to achieve in your lifetime is directly related to what you do or fail to do.

You can choose your own direction.

Everyone has problems and obstacles to overcome, but that too, is relative to each individual.

Nothing is carved in stone.

You can change anything in your life, if you want to badly enough.

Excuses are for losers; Those who take responsibility for their actions are the real winners in life.

Winners meet lifes challenges head on, knowing that there are no guarantees, and give it all they've got... And never think it's too late or too early to begin.

Time plays no favorites,  and will pass whether you act or not.

Take control of your life.

Dare to dream and take risks.

Compete.

If you arent willing to work for your goals, Don't expect others to!

THIS IS HOW I'M WIRED.

I am DEEPER than you think.

If you would like to contradict me, I'm game.

I can most likely figure you out within 5 minutes of having a conversation with you.

I hunger to be an obstruction of your mind.

I thirst for you to figure me out.

You have now entered my masquerade.

You can uncover your facade.

I believe myself to be genuine and I would never betray the ones I love.

I value my family and those who are REAL.

I like to be fascinated by the anomalous.

I am constantly thinking and I love to write poetry.

I have Loved... Lost... and Learned. The three things that every soul should feel.

I yearn for those that put a smile on my face.

I crave for the one that will give to me what I will give back.

I do not belong in anyone's Virus.

Satisfaction is found on my own.

Don't Lust for what you see...Desire what you know.

--Christine Dolce

Trait Snapshot: Words that describe me...

That Man is a Success
Who has lived well,
    laughed often and loved much;
Who has gained the respect of intelligent men
    and the love of children;
Who has filled his niche
    and accomplished his task;
Who leaves the world better than he found it,
    whether by improved poppy, a perfect poem,
    or a rescued soul;
Who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty
    or failed to express it.
Who looked for the best in others
    and gave the best he had.

by Robert Louis Stevenson

To live content with small means;
To seek elegance rather than luxury,
To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly;
To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with an open heart;
To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
    grow up through the commonplace.
This to be my symphony!

William Henry Channing (1810-1884)
