Adelle Davis
drive and ambition

She is non-combative, noncompetitive, and somewhat of a pacifist. Davis will give something up rather than fight for it. She may seem weak-willed or ineffectual, for she does not have a powerful ego drive for personal achievement and material advantage, or for winning at the expense of someone else. Being first, being best or being on top does not mean much to Adelle Davis, and she can be quite happy in a supporting role, working for the benefit of others or for a cause that she believes in. Adelle Davis is gentle and impressionable and is motivated by less mundane and less tangible things than most other people. She may have difficulty formulating clear, definite personal goals and making her way in the world. Adelle has many dreams, high ideals and a strong mystical or religious impulse. Adelle Davis also has a creative imagination and can successfully apply herself to art or music. Adelle Davis has a sensitive physique and she needs to maintain good regular health habits in order to build strength and stamina.

Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, Adelle Davis enjoys arguing, debating, and contesting other people's opinions. She is quite forthright and sometimes tactless. Davis can be very convincing about her point of view, but she is prone to a "hard-sell" approach which sometimes backfires. Challenging mental work is a good avenue for Adelle's aggressive intellect.

Adelle Davis has a positive, "can-do" attitude and she tackles life's challenges with relish. She is self-confident and has a strong will to succeed, to see how much she can do and how far she can go. No matter what Davis accomplishes, she does not rest on her laurels. Adelle wants to keep on going, to do even bigger things. She is proactive, enterprising and enthusiastic about new projects. She is not happy in situations that do not offer her challenges and the potential for future growth - no matter how secure or satisfactory they may seem in other respects. She enjoys competition, but Adelle Davis competes mostly with herself, to see how much of her vision and potential she can really achieve. She makes a good leader, inspiring courage and confidence in others. Adelle Davis usually enjoys good health and a high level of vitality.

Intensely restless, dynamic and energetic, she is always on the go. When Adelle Davis wants something, she wants it NOW, and she acts decisively and impulsively, albeit sometimes hastily and prematurely. Impatient, high-strung, and often nervous and tense, Adelle finds it difficult to slow down, pace herself or relax. She is fiercely individualistic and independent, self-willed and intolerant of restraints and restrictions imposed by others. Adelle Davis has a reckless disregard for authority and can be extremely rebellious. Cooperating with others is not Davis' strong point! She is often brutally frank and abrupt with people, and can be quite impersonal when she is pursuing a desired goal. She may demonstrate an explosive temper when her will is blocked. Adelle Davis has a superabundance of energy and she needs a great deal of personal freedom to do things in her own style and at her own pace.

Her competitive drive and lofty ambitions (commented upon earlier) feed on either intense spiritual idealism or a rather inflated, grandiose idea of what Adelle Davis can actually accomplish. Her energy level is apt to fluctuate from being very high, as noted earlier, to rather low, as mentioned in the following paragraphs.

While Adelle Davis is often charged with energy and inspired about what she wants to do (as mentioned earlier), there is a dreamy, visionary, or passive side to her as well. Her energy level may fluctuate from being superabundant to rather lax.

Ordinary life often seems drab and uninteresting to Adelle and she must have something that stirs her imagination - a vision or ideal or dream to motivate her. Adelle Davis has a strong urge to act out her fantasies or to live her dream, and Adelle Davis will act where others merely talk or dream. Artistic creation, drama or other areas in which Davis can express herself imaginatively are excellent for her.

Work that only serves her own narrow personal interests does not satisfy Adelle Davis. She may lack the competitive edge, the fighting spirit, the "me first" attitude that is often required for material advancement and success. She also tends to either overestimate or underestimate her own power and abilities.

Davis dedicates herself wholeheartedly to a cause, makes a great deal of sacrifices and does away with superfluous activities and interests. Others find her approach too severe and are unwilling to go along with Adelle Davis under the difficult circumstances that she is willing to tolerate. Her determination and capacity for self-denial often help Davis get through the rough spots and achieve the goal she is aiming for.

Her inner life tends to be full of imagination and Adelle Davis is likely to have far-reaching ideas and plans. Peace-loving and generous, she is very sharing in her relationships. But Adelle Davis could become the victim of unintentional slights.

She is subject to frequent changes of mood and tends to lose courage quickly. Adelle Davis is inclined to vacillate between idealistic and materialistic objectives and could end up feeling confused and lost. Considering herself weak and ineffectual, Adelle then may no longer feel like advancing.
