Color Code – Motive – and Children
Dr. Taylor Hartman teaches that our personality is innate…inborn…we came here with it, and…it is driven by a core motive. Your secondary color is the second most powerful influence in your personality.
Last week I had an experience that taught me about the power of motive in my 5 year old BLUE granddaughter, Ari, and my 6 year old BLUE grandson, Nate, and my 4 year old WHITE grandson, Eli. I will start with the boys.

Tammy and I had enjoyed a week with all 5 of our grandchildren, 3 boys, 2 girls. You see, the family took a vote and decided that I should fork over $400 to buy a Wii. (By the way…a Wii is pronounced Wee, and is an ingenious video arcade game that plays on your TV.) You can play all sorts of games with a Wii, like baseball, hockey, golf, tennis, bowling, and there is even an exercise program. ( I am staying away from that one!)
Bowling seems to be our family favorite game to play because everyone can participate, even the little ones.
I was having a great game while bowling with my grandson, Nate, a 6 yr. old BLUE. I had a spare and 2 strikes going. My best game ever! All of a sudden I noticed the TV screen. WHAT??? “Hey, where did the game go?” What happened, Nate?” (thinking yellow me had pushed a wrong button)
Nate’s response was... no response. I turned to my WHITE son-in-law, TJ and said, again, “What happened?” (T.J. is a typical WHITE TECHY kind of guy…brilliant…I knew he would have the answer)
"Nate reset the game." he replied, calmly.
“WHY????” “I was doing great!”
"Evidently he wasn’t." (T.J.'s response)
I turned to Nate and tried my best to reason with him, using logic, and disciplining him by making him sit out the next game. How do you think that worked with a BLUE?
There he sat, on the sofa…with a forlorn look on his face. Sad, very sad.
Trying to teach him a lesson, I started a new game of bowling, this time with his 4 year old little brother, Eli. Eli is a WHITE/RED so we thought!
Eli is also typical WHITE. Very good with high tech gadgetry. STRIKE…STRIKE…STRIKE! I became more engrossed in Eli’s rather amazing performance, than in my own. I was all excited and anticipating his fourth roll of the ball when I looked at the TV and guess what happened?
“What happened?”
“Reset again”, TJ said, calmly.
“WHY???!!!”, I exclaimed.
I turned to Nate who was still sitting on the sofa looking like he had just lost his best friend. “Did YOU reset that game too?” “Your little brother had 3 strikes in a row!”
“Guwwandad”, said Eli.
“What, Eli”, I replied, exasperated.
“I did it.”
“Why!!??” “You had a great game going.” “Why would you do that!?”
“Beecaauuse Nathan wanted to play with us”.
Ohhhhh….the strong influence of secondary color. Eli’s Mom had told me she thinks Eli’s secondary color is BLUE instead of RED. After seeing his willingness to sacrifice his own best interest for the good of his big brother, I am beginning to agree with her.
Amazing, simply amazing.
