When the dominant, durable, and dignified letter D teams up with the strong, straightforward, steady, staunch, steely, and stoic ST phoneme, it suggests a person with clear-vision and solid ideals. We see these effects in the words: destiny, distinct, discreet, distill, headfirst, idealist, modest, and steadfast. People who bear the DST root are on a mission, and, with a clear picture of where they’re headed in life, they tend to arrive at their goals before most of us have even gotten out of bed. This isn’t to say that there aren’t going to be some twists and turns along the way, but these determined creatures will get there sooner or later -- as long as their mission isn’t ‘mission impossible’.
And of course, once a goal has been reached, then it’s just a matter of resetting the goalposts to keep the challenge going. But sometimes they happen to set the posts too high and will fixate on the problem instead of moving on to try new challenges. It’s just not in their nature to admit defeat.
It’s hard to listen to DSTs talk about their dreams without feeling inspired to do something great yourself. With their trademark belief that everything happens for a reason, they’ll take their knocks with philosophical stoicism, and trust in the universe to right its wrongs. This makes DSTs ideal for any careers requiring long, hard hours with little short-term payoff, especially emotionally difficult jobs like social work or police work. If they actually had the time to create a motto, it would have to be: two steps forward, one step forward. These just aren’t the kind of people to have regrets.
DST people are lovers of harmony who strive to bring balance to their lives. It’s not that they’re above the occasional bouts of temper, depression or insomnia; but their habitual countenance is stoic and positive. Perhaps this is why so many people go out of their way to befriend DSTs -- having one as a friend is having a constant reminder that life is a journey and not a destination.
When it comes to love and marriage, DSTs thrive on family life but usually center their activities outside the home. If it seems that DSTs aren’t interested in family life, it’s not true. They are simply travelers at heart and the best advice for a nervous spouse, is to let them slip away when the urge strikes, and trust that they will eventually return to where their hearts really are.
