the challenger
worldview
I have a lot of energy and it’s important for me to be strong and direct. What you see is what you get. Some people think I’m too much or too intense. But I have a soft side, too. Especially for people who are vulnerable. I will always stick up for the underdog. Justice is very important to me. I’m not afraid of expressing anger and I don’t mind conflict because it’s the fastest way to get to the truth. I don’t like being told what to do, I’m in control of my life. I have an insatiable lust for life. I want to experience it all and I usually have the energy to do so.
