Your first name of Ethelind has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature. You attend to tedious responsibilities only when you have no other alternative. Exploring new areas on your own, or with a few close friends, holds definite appeal and offers a constructive outlet for your restless energy. It gives you the desire to be a leader, to pioneer new undertakings, and to try new ideas in practical, creative occupations. It makes you self-sufficient and self-reliant. You expect a great deal of yourself and of others, and you are seldom satisfied with your accomplishments. You appreciate nature and the freedom associated with being in a natural environment. You often feel you could have achieved even better results. You become intensely involved with everything you plan to do, but the stress arising from frustrating obstacles or misunderstandings with others could prompt you to be intolerant and sarcastic in your expression, with breakdowns in congenial relations with family and friends a possible end result. This name spoils relaxation and contentment, the mental qualities necessary for good health.
