What I like about being an Inspirer

• I’m optimistic and don’t let problems get me down.
• I’m outspoken, spontaneous and free-spirited.
• I’m generous and want to make the world a better place.
• I’m not afraid to take risks and to try exciting adventures.
• I’ve got many varied interests and talents.

What I don’t like about being an Inspirer

• I never have enough time to do all the things I want or complete things I start.
• I don’t specialise in a particular area and can’t commit myself to a specific career.
• I feel confined when I’m in a one-to-one relationship.

Things I would never do

• Finish every book I am reading before starting a new one.
• Make to-do lists every week and stick to them.
• Tell a story without exaggerating.
• Spend six hours in silent meditation.

How to relate with me

• Give me friendship, affection and freedom, and let me do as I please.
• Entertain me with stimulating conversation and laughter.
• Appreciate my wild fantasies and listen to my anecdotes.
• Don’t try to change me; accept me as I am.
• Stand on your own two feet.  Don’t be dependent on me.

Things people say about me

• “When I feel depressed, I call on my Inspirer friend and let some of her zest for life rub off on me.  She always manages to cheer me up.”
• “I like going to her house, because her music collection is loud and she’s a great cook.  She is always hooked on some new fad.”
• “When she isn’t hiking up mountains or throwing parties, she’s helping starving babies in Africa.”

Things I should affirm to myself

• I will bring more balance and moderation into my life.
• What I have is enough for me.
• I will work longer and harder.
