For each of our Colors, sports, games, get-togethers or hobbies often have a very different motivator. It might be the same activity, but we often do it for very different reasons and with a very different agenda or mindset from other Colors. Here are three examples, see if you can identify or connect with some of the reasons:
Gardening:
Everything in neat rows – no weeds!
Ahh – the chance to get away from people and just stay out here in the garden
Wildflowers! Definitely. No maintenance and I hope it rains because I’ll never remember to water them regularly.
A chance to create something beautiful and alive – right here in my garden.
Who organizes and plans the night
Who brings the snacks and drinks
Who acts as banker
Who watches that nobody cheats
Who actually knows and reads the rules
Who wants it at their house so they can show off their party room & 70 inch TV?
Who wants to bring a friend
Who wants to win no matter what it takes
Who just wants the game around just to play in between sharing stories
Going to a shooting range:
Who wants to know what to wear
Wants a silencer so the neighbors won’t be disturbed
Who goes: silencer? The noise is half the fun!
Who goes ready – fire – aim
Who just needs one bullet
Who wants to take the targets home and keep them in a file
Who is looking around for a bigger & louder weapon
Who can (or wants to) take the gun apart and inspect it
Who wants to know if the rental is per bullet
Who, before leaving, thinks we should pick up all the shell casings
Who doesn’t want to shoot at a people silhouettes or a Bambi target
