WHY CAN’T WE JUST BE ALIKE?
Although we are all born practically with the same parts, no 2 people are really alike.
“Oh, but my ___ & I are just alike, we think the same, like the same things….”
Your thoughts, preferences & other similarities may be the same to you, but they are merely only coincidences .
Our differences come from our behaviors, thinking, & more of the level of our mental capabilities & neurological (brain) input / output.
So, what that means is, although we are “alike in so many ways”, we really are different.
HOW TO IDENTIFY THE AREAS THAT PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT
Leaper or Looker:
Leapers take risks – when they see an opportunity the want to jump on it before it’s too late.
Lookers are more cautious – they like to carefully chaeck everything out before making a decision.
Extrovert or Introvert:
Extroverts – love crowds, are energized by people.
Introverts – would rather spend time in solitude or with a close friend.
Outliner or Detailer:
Outliners – have a general focus & look at the big picture. They think in terms of direction & getting things done.
Detailers – look at the ‘nuts & bolts’. Their concern is how to get things done.
Spender or Saver:
Spenders – if they have extra money, they want to spend it on themselves, on others, on worthy causes, on anything.
Saver – if they have extra money, they want to put it away for a rainy day. They do not like to spend unless it very important.
Planner or Lexer:
Planners – love structure with everything organized & neatly packaged. They like schedules & deadlines.
Lexers – bend with the flow of life & take things as they come. They tend to be spontaneous & laid back, loose ends don’t bother them because they believe everything will work out.
Scurrier or Ambler:
Scurriers – are always busy. Speed & efficiency are their motive & motto, they accomplish as much as they can as fast as they can.
Amblers – take their time & set their own pace. They might do as much as a scurrier, but they enjoy what they do.
Thinker or Feeler:
Thinkers – focus on facts & principles. They base decisions on objective date & tend to be task oriented.
Feelers – focus on people & emotions. They base their decisions on subjective data & tend to be relationship oriented.
Dreamer or Worker:
Dreamers – are creative people who love to come up with ideas. They are optimistic & oriented toward the future.
Workers – are practical. They like to take other people’s ideas & make them happen. They tend to be realistic & focus on the present.
Collector or Tosser:
Collectors – gather things, they hate to throw anything away because they know they just might need it sometime.
Tossers – get rid of things, they hate clutter & they insist that if you haven’t used something recently, you probably never will.
Juggler or Holder:
Jugglers – are multi-channeled & can deal with may things simultaneously.
Holders – are single-channeled & can only deal with one, maybe two things at a time. If they try to do more, they become stressed & overwhelmed.
Everyone is different & unique. A Jack rabbit or a Tortoise…
We create balance, variety & challenges. There’s no right or wrong type.
Just BE you!
Create your differences & talk about them too.
Embrace what & who you are, stay consistent & always keep moving forward.
So, find out who you are & be at peace with it.
“First learn to love yourself, instead of loving the idea of other people loving you”…..

BY THE WAY: Are you having challenges or struggling with things in you life, lost your job, out of money, recovery from injuries with bills coming in overwhelming you, grieving, down or depressed? I know what you’re going through, I’ve been there, it hurts, its terrifying & you have no clue where to turn.
I honestly have been through this myself. I was in a tragic accident last year & lost my job / income, my health & mobility. I was devastated, the bills never stopped coming in & I was drowning in debt. Sound somewhat familiar?
Let me share with you what I did that literally saved my life. I’ve been able to completely turn my l life around, get back up, become more successful than ever before & financially free. CLICK HERE for & pay close attention to this

Linda this was very unique in itself the way you pointed out all the various differences while providing a pretty clear definition of the differences in all of us… I’m definitely a Lexer. Guess that’s just part of being an Optimistic person which I am as well. Great post Linda thanks for taking the time to put it all together.
Thank you Robert, I know you meant Flexer (unless I misspelled). But yes, I see you as the ‘Go with the flow, take things as they come, laid back & stay unruffled’, type of person. Being Optimistic will always work in your favor. Thank you for your thoughts Robert, I love it.
Linda this post was so interesting! I never heard of many of these terms and I consider myself a student of learning about people. Very good post -thank you.
Thank you Nancy for sharing your insight. We’re all a work in progress & never stop learning. I appreciate that.
Linda,this is a very interesting account of all the different types of traits we all have, I can definitely resonate with a few of them, thanks.
Thank you Debbie, surprise surprise isn’t it. this gives being “unique” another meaning to us. Thanks for sharing your insight.
Gosh … you can see why some married couples tear their hair out if they marry the total opposite of what they are. Spenders marrying savers, tossers marrying collectors, leapers marrying lookers … interesting combinations and it happens all the time!
Erica, the saying of ‘opposites attract’ has a new meaning doesn’t it? It’s a lot of work when you ARE truly opposites. A lot of compromise, a lot of giving, a lot of sacrifices are an every moment living with opposites, much more so than with an open compromising communicative couple. It does happen all the time & hence a contributing factor of the high divorce rate. Thank you for your thoughts, as always, Erica.
