Your first name of Gladys has given you energy, drive, and ambition, but also an almost excessively strong-willed and independent nature. Unfortunately, this name makes it difficult for you to concentrate and to finish what you start because, once your interest in a project wanes, you begin to look for something new, something different to challenge yourself, anything to avoid monotony and the handling of details. Over-intensity is your challenge; you put a great deal of effort into your activities, but often fail to take time to relax, to view your plans objectively, and perhaps, to consider the opinions of others. You rebel at restrictions and are resourceful in unexpected circumstances. Exploring new areas on your own, or with a few close friends, holds definite appeal and offers a constructive outlet for your restless energy. You appreciate nature and the freedom associated with being in a natural environment. Because of the restless qualities within your first name, it is very often difficult for you to find pleasure in ordinary congeniality. You work best alone and are happiest when expressing your many ideas creatively in an area that offers flexibility and challenge. While you are creative, inventive, and ingenious in practical matters, and always ready to initiate and promote new undertakings, you often experience difficulty in bringing your undertakings to a successful conclusion because of your own changing interests or changing circumstances. This name spoils relaxation and contentment, the mental qualities necessary for good health.
