Your first name of Lodewjk has given you an expressive, diplomatic, and refined nature. Occupations that are tedious, monotonous, or too detailed do not interest you as you prefer positions where you are dealing with the public and handling finances, or where you are teaching, or directing others. You could be particularly successful at planning and managing social events or business meetings, although you are not a high-pressure person who could initiate and promote major projects; rather, you look for opportunities to make improvements in operations already underway. Although you do have some fine qualities, you are not experiencing the fullness life has to offer through growth of mind and the emotional and financial stability that would bring you happiness. You appreciate the comfort that comes with financial success and look for opportunities for material gain by taking advantage of your personal contacts. In your work, you would always feel more secure in an intermediary position where upper management would make the major, or hard, decisions and you would carry them out using your diplomatic skills and suave manner in handling people. Many people would find it hard to believe you lack self-assurance at times. Good business judgment and friends in higher positions give you the opportunity to meet and mix with people on a more refined, successful level. You have good business judgment but lack the confidence to carry out your own ideas unless assisted by an associate. Through your diplomatic ways you are able to call on the assistance of others to avoid such matters.
