Tessa Brooks lives in the here-and-now, immediately obeying her impulses. Tessa is guided by a fire burning within her. Tessa rarely heed the warnings of reflection and reason; instead, Tessa listens to her instincts, as if her unconscious were perpetually emerging. This is the source of Tessa’s spontaneity and passion. Because Tessa is continually being born, Tessa champions all phenomena symbolic of birth: breaking ground, beginning, clearing. Tessa has little interest for pursuing the new ideas Tessa brought into being, because Tessa’s inner flame is always urging Tessa to move on quickly to the next innovation. Tessa is not a good manager. Tessa is straightforward. When Tessa commits herself, Tessa does so with mind, body, and soul. Restraint and moderation are concepts which are totally foreign to Tessa, because Tessa lives by the fullness of her instinct, the force of her desire.

Due to Tessa’s energetic temperament, Tessa’s determination immediately invents the action necessary to fulfill her desires. It goes without saying that Tessa’s attitude engenders certain risks. Sometimes Tessa’s impetuousness, or a lack of maturity or patience, or a keen appetite for experience leads Tessa into a blind alley. But risk is a part of Tessa’s life. Since Tessa’s fervor is immune to calculation, second thoughts, and cunning, Tessa has no fear. Tessa is the type of hero whose courageous deeds are difficult to distinguish from acts of bravado or of sheer foolhardiness. Tessa’s top priority is to take action, immediately. Delay is torture to Tessa. Tessa is in a hurry to live, to take Tessa’s urges and impulses to their ultimate conclusion, even though Tessa’s lack of forethought may actually make Tessa’s goal take longer to accomplish. Tessa rarely evaluates obstacles objectively: instead, Tessa dash into the fray, bristling with determination, oblivious to the size or scope of the difficulties. Tessa ride home triumphantly, whether Tessa have battered Tessa’s head against a brick wall or met no resistance whatsoever. But Tessa have a true hero’s courage and vitality. Tessa are undaunted by challenges and real danger, to the surprise of outside observers.

Like everyone, Tessa sometimes experience failure. But Tessa rarely despair or become overly discouraged by it; it never overcomes Tessa. Tessa don’t see it as a tragedy; Tessa just figure Tessa missed that time, but next time, Tessa won’t. In fact, Tessa’ll muster even more strength and power for the next attack, since Tessa are convinced Tessa can succeed. Tessa sometimes have problems finishing something Tessa have started. Once the glamour of the initial urge and enthusiasm is dulled, Tessa lose some of Tessa’s potency and find Tessa faced with a sluggish material reality which does not always inspire Tessa. It is important for Tessa to tackle short-term tasks only. Of course, Tessa will have recognized all of the above qualities as being the stuff of which great leaders are made. Sharing Tessa’s enthusiasm and drive, and delegating the follow-up tasks to more patient assistants, Tessa can accomplish amazing things. Stirred by all the stimuli of the outside world, this animal is indifferent to nothing.

As a result, Tessa’s emotionalism can sometimes trouble or destabilize Tessa. Moreover, Tessa are eternally impassioned. And since passion is by definition uncontrollable, once it is kindled it is either consumed or consuming. The fire will either fuel Tessa and drive Tessa along or sputter in frustration. Tessa should be aware of Tessa’s penchant for excess. If Tessa are subject to a negative passion, Tessa can be irritable and heedless to everything except Tessa’s impulses, which are not always reasonable. Tessa must channel Tessa’s energy in positive directions. Tessa’s vigor is only an outer armor. Although Tessa may seem to embody strength itself, full of self-assurance and courage, Tessa have a vulnerable underbelly: Tessa’s inner self.

As a result, the quality of Tessa’s emotional relationships has an important impact on Tessa’s overall well-being. Tessa would do well to take the time to get a good education. It will counteract Tessa’s tendency to oversimplify. People and things are more complex than Tessa might imagine, and Tessa’s intellectual efforts will help Tessa understand them.
