The Humanitarian
The following mini report represents a summarised version your Signature Personality. It is one of eight life aspects contained in the Authentic Self Profile Tool. The profile tool has three major categories. Firstly your innate talents which the Signature Personally forms part of. Secondly your life purpose and thirdly the major behavioural challenges you will need to master to realise your potential.
Your Signature Personality is your dominant way of responding to the world. Expressing this is key to unlocking your power and potential. Your Signature Personality is akin to signing your signature on everything you do. It is the way you leave your biggest mark on the world every day. Without its positive daily expression it will be difficult to realise your full potential.
As a child you would have been heart broken to find a lost puppy that you could not take home and keep. Such is the heart and soul of the Humanitarian. They are forever finding lost puppies they want to save from the hardships of the world.
The Humanitarian has a natural tendency is to want to assist others in some way. It seems like it is built into their DNA. However the burden of this constant need to assist others can often leave them feeling drained and exhausted.
However there is way for The Humanitarian to live their authenticity. Without sacrificing themselves in the process. This is best achieved when they share the burden. This can be achieved in a couple of ways.
Firstly going back to the lost puppy analogy. When you find the lost puppy you do not have to take it home and care for it. You have alternatives such as finding another home for it. Somewhere out there is someone wanting a puppy dog. The lesson here is you do not have to do everything yourself.
Secondly. Instead of assisting others all the time find ways to empower them to assist themselves. Remember the old saying. Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach them how to fish and they feed themselves for life. In order to leave your mark and signature on the world ask yourself everyday how am I empowering this person to be their own sage.
As The Humanitarian you are unconsciously aware you have a collective mindset. You instinctively feel connected to everyone is some way. This is why you feel the need to assist others. At an unconscious level you know by assisting others you are assisting yourself and the whole. Such is the collective mindset. It knows everyone is connected to each other. There is no separation.
Your role as The Humanitarian is to empower others to heal themselves. In doing so you not only heal yourself but the world.
The greatest fear of The Humanitarian is not being accepted by others. This is because you are unconsciously aware of the whole and wish to be part of it. You have a tendency to over burden yourself with the needs and problems of others. Often leaving you feeling burnt out, exhausted and withdrawing from the world as a means of self protection.
At a subconscious level you are trying to heal the collective whole. This is because you know you are part of that collective whole. The best way to heal the collective whole is through empowering everyone to own their collective wisdom. Within everyone lies the truth. Your role is to help them find that truth. This is done through facilitative conversations. The definition of facilitation is. The act of helping others to deal with a problem or situation without being directly involved in its resolution. This can be best achieved through the power of questioning. Facilitative conversations involve using questions to allow others to find the truth within themselves. This is true empowerment.
If you find yourself helping others out of martyrdom then stop immediately as you will be doing more harm than good. A martyr is a victim that can never heal. Assisting others in order to prove your self worth is not the answer. You will know immediately that your motives are not right. Because you will often feel drained and exhausted when assisting others. Whenever this is the case the collective whole remains unbalanced and unhealed. This is because you are trying to fix something instead of restoring the truth to peoples minds. See and believe that everyone has the truth buried deep within them. Your role is always to restore that truth and in doing so restore harmony and balance to the collective whole.
You are by nature intuitive. This exists because at an unconscious level you know you are connected to everything. This means you are able to pick up information about people and situations easily. The flip side of this is you will tend to pick up on peoples fears and negativity. This may cause you to feel overwhelmed by other peoples fears and negativity. Leading you to want to run and retreat from the world. The best way not to take on other peoples fears and negativity is to send them love. Fear and love cannot occupy the same space at the same time. Therefore by sending others love it dissipates their fears. Meaning that there is no fear or negativity for you to take on.
