Found some more. This is even more on point, if that's possible!
Your Biggest Challenge Is:
How can you be a Rebel with a cause?
* Rebels are caught in the middle of a push and pull contest within their personalities. One side of you wants to change the world (or at least your part of it), while the other side tends to get frustrated with the process and procrastinate, or just give up.
* As a Rebel, you like to shake things up. You want to see action, not endless discussion. It's frustrating to see how hard it is to change the status quo. At work you can argue a point until you go hoarse and still see no change. As you see it, most people would rather set up committees or bicker about details than take any real action.
* That's how we end up with Rebels "without a cause." Perhaps your cause is a more local one. You can make a difference in your own life and the lives of your friends and family by being an authentic, original person. There are plenty of role models for conformist clones, but society needs its Rebel role models, too.
* Here are some other personal causes you might work on:
o It's hard to trust other people completely. It's even harder for you to let yourself depend on them. The key is taking it slowly. Gradually open up and let yourself rely on other people. Relationships have to keep growing. So you may have to push yourself beyond what you're comfortable with to let your life be truly interconnected with other people. Agree?
o You need motivation and direction. You have tons to offer to the world, but could use a kick-start sometimes to get going. Try to jump on any interests you have and run with them. Agree?
o Your distrust of other people can be a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sometimes it's wise to keep your guard up. It's true that pessimistic people tend to see situations more realistically than optimists. On the other hand, people tend to give us what we want. If you subtly communicate that you expect the worst from someone, that's likely what you'll see. To test it out, experiment with sending the opposite signals of trust and optimism and see if you notice a change.
