A move made in support of others’ motives and agendas without regard for whether it is in alignment with one’s own core values and sense of purpose.
Background Movers
People living in this mode make most of their moves in support of other people’s needs and wishes. They move in the background, often putting out a lot of energy, but very little of it is directed toward realizing their own dreams and desires. Background Movers are easy targets for Brash Movers because they are easily caught up in the frenetic energy created by fear and doubt.
It is important to distinguish Background Movers from genuine helpers. There are times when we all want to serve other people with kindness and generosity, but Background Move makers use these wonderful qualities as a way of divesting responsibility for their own lives. They justify staying stuck by insisting that other people’s needs and wishes are more important than their own.
Background Movers gain a false sense of accomplishment when things go right for the people they serve, but when things don’t work out, they are quick to lay the blame elsewhere. In the end, Background Movers miss out on the satisfaction of being fully expressed and successful in life.
Background Move makers often stay very, very busy, but all of their efforts go into meddling in other people’s lives. Let me handle that, they will say, often hinting that the other person couldn’t possibly do the task anyway. Background Move makers stay stuck by forgetting to mind their own business.
