Blues embody the characteristics of nurturing and cartaking. They are the Personality Spectrums color most concerned with helping other people. Whereas Nurturing Tans find their life's work in the community, Blues find value in being of service to individuals. Service is a form of altruism, a giving of oneself. It is the art of anticipating the needs of other human beings and ministering to those needs while at the same time allowing for the individuals to maintain their dignity In doing a kindness for a neighbor or preforming an act of mercy for a patient, Blues feel fulfilled, valued, and full of worth; they find ways to live their lives by giving. The greatest challenge for Blues is to know what hey need to be happy and then to ask for it. Because they are so caught up in service to others, Blues often spend too little time and attention on their own spiritual and emotional growth activities. They must set limits and boundaries on their emotional, physical, and spiritual resources; they must be able to say no and mean it. Blues need to emulate the wise cook who returns a portion of the starter dough to the yeast pot for antoher day. In this way, Blues can maintain their personal power. They must learn how to husband their own internal resources by measurieng them out and using some of their time and energy to renew themselves.
