I am going to put this column to use allowing myself to be known, vulnerable and honest. I am blessed with a great drive and burning desire at whatever I do. Unfortunately, my competitive spirit sometimes gets me into trouble with friends and family, as work and ambition take precedence over emotional relationships. I have a great faith in myself that often achieve results despite great odds? Yet at the same time, I am often accused of having an enormous ego. However, in my defense, it is that enormous ego that gives me the daring and courage to change everybody's life for the better. I have been born into a life with two life paths. I have been born into wealth and privilege and coddled by lucky circumstances into becoming "great" in some way and I am thriving despite great challenges face such as poverty and abuse. I am also blessed with good health, vitality and endless inspiration. I consider myself very connected with the divine and I often feel especially connected to God or My subconscious mind. However, as I am such an individualist, this insistence on listening to My hunches often make me appear irrational or even insane to others, that is, until the direction of My gut instincts pays off and all benefit. Although I am capable of rising to great heights when it comes to career or athletics, I am also capable of great falls. I am also an innovative and resourceful individual I have the uncanny ability to "make lemons out of lemonade" and start again from scratch. At times, I feel as if I face more challenges or obstacles in life than others do. In my early years I had to learning not to be dependant on others as fate throws difficult relationships and situations their way. If I feel cursed or that I have a bad luck, that is very characteristic of number ones whose life lessons are usually about "letting go", "releasing control" and "overcoming great odds." As a loner, I also need to watch a tendency towards arrogance or over confidence. Often I am perceived as odd, controlling or self-centered by others. However often these are traits are forgiven as my friends and others tell me that my talents outshine those of the ordinary being. I am one that values individuality, privacy and ethics more than anything. I always stand by my convictions. I tend to have faith in myself, more than I do others, and make a better leader than a team player. I am best suited to occupations that allow me to work on my own or be the big boss. It sometimes takes number ones a lifetime to realize that being adored by many is not such a bad thing. I am more concerned with ideals and ethics, rather than practical or materialistic issues. My preoccupation with the divine or psyche can sometimes make I appear a bit bizarre or spacey to others. As my grandmother tells me, I was recognized as a genius from a very young age and attended a gifted school until second grade. So, I am a bit weird at times but my quirks are often forgiven by my caring friends. Having an exceptional intelligence and ability to spend hours by myself was also noticed when I was a young child at the gifted school. As an adult, I still spend a great deal of time alone in the world of my incredible imagination. I love to daydream. My verbal and written skills are excellent and I have a keen analytical mind. However, I choose a more off beat path in life and it is learning about the odd or the exceptional that excites me the most. I am incredibly intuitive. I experience mysterious connections to others as well as prophetic dreams. Sometimes my curiosity leads me down taboo or forbidden paths. As a child was left out of normal social groups while growing up because I could not connect with kids my age. Sometimes I am also a very defensive person as I bitterly resent those who don't understand me or can't keep up with me. Being left out of things can become a chronic pattern for me if I am not careful. Given all of my talents, it is paramount that I use my powers for good. In personal relationships, I often appear emotionally detached to loved ones. I have various interests. Travel and history are two subjects that greatly interest me and I feel spiritually recharged when visiting a holy or mystical place in the world. I can also appear as a bit too eccentric to others. This may express it self in my manner of dress or where I live. I think in the long term future of humanity. It is always on my mind so I am always active in some kind of charity or ecological organization. I am capable of being a good parent. I see relationships as a process, as opposed to a goal. That is why I have learn much and give 80% credit of who I am today to everyone who has crossed my path. But some are more special, namely: Grey Murdock (Godson), Caleb & Tiffany Ballard (Best Friends), Ryan (Passion) Deegan (a soul-mate), Michael McAlpin (started it all), Brian (Encouragement) Williams (Deceased), Jason (Honest) Hines (Deceased), Vanessa (Determined) Lowe (Deceased), Leola (Compassionate) Childs (Deceased), The Adairs, The McAlpins, Bri Carrera (Refreshing), Amanza Smith (full of heart), Charl Bands (something uniquely done), Brian Yosowitz (enlightening), Yez Penedo (truth seeker) and The Trinity (awe-inspiring).
