Handwriting Analysis

It has been a while since I last did an event for Handwriting Analysis (known as Graphology for some). Today I did an event in Sentosa for Kaybee Group and I saw some very interesting characters over there. The most interesting person I came across was the Finance Director. Right after he wrote his name and some statement and signed his name, I was able to tell (from his very detailed and clear handwriting) that he must be a finance person. Due to his very meticulous personality, he is very well suited for the job.
Many people always wonder if handwriting really reveals so much about their personality. The truth is, on a non influenced situation, what you write really reveals who you are. Each stroke in terms of the angle, the strength, the placement in relative to other characters tells very minute detail about a person. Handwriting reveals a lot about how a person work and how they manage their task. A signature reveals a lot about a person's inner self and how they want to be treated. A simple thing to do is to compare the size of a signature with the handwriting. When the signature is smaller than the handwriting, then this person is not very confident and wants to stay within the background within a group. When the signature is a lot bigger than the handwriting, then this person is more confident and wants to stay at the front of a group. Of course, there are many other factors to consider when analysing a handwriting. But these guidelines that I have just stated are some very simple methods that are often very accurate.

There was once a client of mine requested me to do a detailed analysis of her handwriting. After the analysis, she wanted me to guide her on how to change her signature and handwriting. Her logic was that by changing her handwriting, she hope that she will be able to change her personality. I was actually very amused by her thought. The truth is, it is more effective to change a personality by directly willing to change and taking steps to change. By changing your handwriting, you may not change your personality. By changing your handwriting, you will only learn how to mask your personality via the way you write. No doubt, the change of handwriting may affect your behaviours some way or other, however in comparison, it is definitely more effective to change your personality by directly willing yourself to change than simply changing your handwriting.
Life is full of surprises and for each handwriting I read, there is always a story behind. It is like watching a new movie everytime when I read someone's life or handwriting. I guess these surprises are what generate so much passion in me towards my work.

Did I marry the right person

Read this from an email and tried to trace the source but not able to find the author in order to give credits to this wonderful article. So I'll just post this and hope that it'll help someone in the way they look at their marriage.

This is a very good article. Those who are still single may learn something from here....
Those who are already married may take it as a guideline to improve your marriage & relationship ...

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?
During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, 'How do I know if I married the right person?'

I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, 'It depends. Is that your husband?'
In all seriousness, she answered 'How do you know?'
Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.Here's the answer.

EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse/partner. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies (unconventional behavior/habit). Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience.

You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called 'falling' in love... Because it's happening TO YOU . People in love sometimes say, 'I was swept of my feet.' Think about the imagery of that __expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria (excitement) of love fades.
It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.. At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, 'Did I marry the right person?'

And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else.

This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment. Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.

But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):
THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't 'find' LASTING love. You have to 'make' it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression 'the labor of love.' Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery.

There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage. Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships.Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable ... you can 'make' love.

Love in marriage is indeed a 'decision'... Not just a feeling.
