Your advice-giving style seems to be like Carl Roger's Humanist Therapy, basically the "unconditional love" approach. If you believe in offering unwavering support to friends in need, no matter what the issue, then you are a textbook humanist. Humanists believe that the person who is asking for advice already has an idea of what he or she should do--and just needs to be listened to and offered plenty of TLC.
Founders: Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow
Does love inspire you to express yourself with an ardor you didn't know you had? Nineteenth century British poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning would understand. During a secret courtship with her husband to be, she poured her heart out in a sequence of poems that was eventually published as " Sonnets from the Portugese." Of course, her love knew no bounds. She even wrote a love poem for her dog Flash.
Do you have trouble following through with things? Is it difficult for you to complete assignments for school, clean your room or make plans (and stick with them)? Maybe you have trouble sleeping?
Then carnelian might be the stone you need... Not just because gem healers believe it has the power to help you sleep, but because it will help you put your ideas into action. If you have a lot of ambition, but you find yourself procrastinating, putting things off until the last possible minute, gem healers like Marilyn Twintrees would suggest that you just need to mend the divide between your body and mind, to free yourself of the sadness, envy, fear or whatever emotions are preventing you from getting things done. In simple terms, carnelian can help you get motivated to make your dreams a reality.
Fascinated by the stars (in the sky...)? It looks like your muse is Urania, patron goddess of astronomy. Her name means "Heavenly" because she keeps her sights on the stars. Often depicted with a globe, Urania can elevate her followers to great fame. The next time you find yourself stargazing, perhaps you'll call upon Urania for guidance, for she is also able to foretell the future by the alignment of the stars.
Do your friends rely on you to keep the peace? Do you see things from all sides and encourage everyone to talk things through before making a decision? Sounds like someone's a natural born diplomat, just like Queen Elizabeth I of England. For 45 years, from 1558-1603, Elizabeth (a.k.a. Good Queen Bess) worked to bring together her divided realm. Much to the chagrin of her ministers, Elizabeth never married but she did use her many proposals as a means to negotiate alliances with various countries. In fact, what some called her indecision, others called prudence.
So the next time someone hassles you about taking your time or being "passive", you can remind yourself that one of the most successful queens in history shared your instinct to reserve judgment. Then ask yourself, what would Bess do?
If you face the unfamiliar and find yourself thinking it is fascinating rather than frightening, you might make a good scene-stealer in the movie "Save The Last Dance." (Your love life seems to follow its plot line...) A willingness to figure things out for yourself, fight against stereotypes--racial and otherwise--and for what you want will help you make your mark, on or off the big screen.
Have you and your bff been friends forever? Is your friendship one built on loyalty and a history of helping one another out? Marissa and Summer from "The O.C." would understand.
Despite Marissa's multiple family problems, romance problems and just plain old problems, there has been one girl always by her side--Summer. Sure, she may be extremely concerned with her own appearance and popularity status, but her devotion to Marissa never waivers. These two are in it for the long haul. Let's just say they are so in sync that they even eat their breakfast together.
Just like Marissa and Summer, it sounds like you and your bff know what it means to take care of a friend through the hard times and how to party down to celebrate the good. Life may be tough, but it helps when you have a friend who is as reliable as the rising sun. These kind of friends would leave a sweetie behind just to make sure the other is safe walking home. Friends like these guard the bathroom door when the lock is broken, share their new clothes and never spill the beans about the others' secret crush. Given this solid foundation, it's easy to imagine building a sturdy and long-lasting future together
Do you draw hearts on your geometry homework? Spell out L-O-V-E in your alphabet soup? Then it's no surprise a hopeless romantic like you is the type that's attracted to traditional romantic gestures such as flowers, love letters, and poetry that signify a special bond with your one and only. Many animals have a similar fondness for old-school displays of affection and would rather settle down than mess around. The whooping crane mates for life after engaging in a dreamy courtship dance of calling, wing flapping, head bowing, jumping, bobbing and weaving. While we find no fault with being in love and letting those mushy gushy feelings fly, make sure to come up for air once in a while, lest your friends wind up feeling a little left out.
