TAKING CARE OF OTHERS AND TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF

Words that describe you:

Fair, Considered, Collaborative, Responsive, Sensible, Diplomatic, Contemplative, Indulgent, Rational

You are important. So are other people, especially if they are in trouble. You have a tender heart, but you know how to establish and keep personal boundaries. You are empathetic and compassionate, but you also believe that it's best if people solve their own problems and learn to take care of themselves, if they are able.

FOCUSED AND FLEXIBLE

Words that describe you:

Casual, Informal, Compliant, Reliable, Organized, Solid, Dependable, Uncommitted, Genuine

When you take on a task at work or at home, you are reliable; you get the job done. But you're not a slave to the plan. You're committed to it, but not chained to it; the connection is more casual and informal. You know that sometimes "the best laid plans" fall off the tracks; when this happens, you clean up the train wreck and start over, undeterred.


SOMETIMES STEADY, SOMETIMES RESPONSIVE

Words that describe you:

Adaptable, Engaged, Able to Cope, Passionate, Perceptive, Flexible, Receptive, Aware, Avid

In some ways, you've got the best of emotional worlds. When emotions rise up from inside you or are brought forth from a conversation by a friend, you know how to engage them. You deal with sadness, fear, joy, anger - whatever comes up - in ways that are perceptive and flexible.

OUTGOING

Words that describe you:

Friendly, Gregarious, Full of Life, Unreserved, Kindhearted, Talkative, Emotional, Spontaneous, Vigorous

People light you up. In conversations, planning meetings or almost any social situation, you bring your energy and your friendly, outgoing personality into these engagements with other people, and you come away pumped up. You can hardly wait for the next event, as long as other people will be there. And you're good at it.

CONTENT

Words that describe you:

Sensible, Realistic, Conventional, Sincere, Simple, Firm, Earnest

You find that you are usually more comfortable with ideas and beliefs that you have held for a long time. These values, which for you are tried-and-true, provide you with practical solutions to life's problems, and with straightforward ways of engaging in intellectual discussions and debates. You've tested these positions over time, you know them well, they work for you, and you trust them.

sigh...

Dreams, that's where I have to go to see your beautiful face anymore.
I stare at a picture of you and listen to the radio.
Hope, hope there's a conversation where we both admit we had it good,
but until then it's alienation, I know, that much is understood.

And I realize
If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what they say, I'm not over you

You took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I'm a boomerang doesn't matter how you throw me

If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I'm not over you

And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then...

If you ask me how I'm doin I would say I'm doin just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
and finally I'm forced to face the truth
No matter what I say, I'm not over you
Not over you
Not over you
Not over you
