Alexandra Ledermann
motivation

In many ways, Alexandra Ledermann contradicts herself! While she enjoys traveling and adventure (as mentioned in the previous chapter), Ledermann can be very slow to move. Stability and security are as important to her as exploring new worlds. Alexandra Ledermann needs to find a place in her life to express both urges: the impulse to take risks and to go where she has never gone before, and the need for order, predictability, and staying with the tried-and-true.

She is a steadfast and patient soul, capable of tremendous devotion, dedication, endurance and constancy. The ability to follow through and stick with things is one of her greatest assets. Once Ledermann's course is set, she pursues it tenaciously until it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway her from her purpose.

Alexandra Ledermann has a very practical nature; she wants to see concrete, tangible results for her efforts, and she is not one to concoct wild dreams that are unlikely to come into fruition. Most of her "wild dreams" have to do with material achievements, well-being and security, for she has a great love of the physical world and she wants to experience and enjoy it to the full. Though Alexandra Ledermann will work long and persistently, she also has a strong sensual and comfort-loving side, and she wants to enjoy what she has worked for. In fact, Ledermann can be enormously lazy at times and has a tendency to overindulge in good food and other earthly pleasures. Alexandra Ledermann also loves the beauty of the natural world and she probably prefers a serene country setting to an urban life style.

Basically, her needs are simple and she is easy to please. Alexandra Ledermann has a strong desire for security, stability and peace, and will rarely make changes unless she is forced to do so. She is not very demanding emotionally, though she does crave a great deal of physical closeness and affection. Because of her faithfulness, emotional steadfastness and gentle strength, others often depend upon Ledermann for support. Though she hates upheaval and sudden changes, Alexandra Ledermann usually maintains her poise and equanimity. Alexandra Ledermann also has an innate sense of harmony with nature, allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time and the patience to nurture something into being - be it a garden, a child, or a creative project. She makes an excellent parent, especially if she follows her instincts more often than "the experts".

Alexandra has three major faults: one is her bullheaded obstinacy. The second is her unwillingness to deviate from her safe, predictable routine. And the third is Ledermann's tendency to always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative, speculative, and fanciful - in other words, Alexandra Ledermann lacks the ability to play with ideas and possibilities, and to open her mind to new horizons.

Alexandra Ledermann has a very dramatic, creative, expressive nature and she loves to perform. Alexandra enjoys being the center of attention and she seeks to shine, to excel, and to be outstanding in some unique way. She is very involved in her own creativity and self-expression, and takes great pleasure in developing and using her special talents be they artistic, athletic or intellectual. Alexandra Ledermann has a strong sense of pride.

Alexandra has lofty aspirations but does not struggle or labor to achieve them. Her self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefit her in an almost magical way. Her optimism and cheerful generosity also win Ledermann many allies and successes in life.

Alexandra Ledermann is extremely sensitive, compassionate and giving, often to her own detriment. Her ideals and spiritual values motivate Alexandra Ledermann, and she cannot live for personal gain or materialistic concerns alone. There must be an element of beauty, magic, imagination, inspiration or creativity in what she does. Otherwise Alexandra Ledermann becomes listless and aimless. The arts, theater, music and/or charitable work are ideally suited to Alexandra.

Alexandra Ledermann deeply believes in her own power and her ability to survive any change and emerge victorious from any difficulty. Alexandra has tremendous inner resources and strength. Intense, strong willed, and zealous, she pursues her desires and goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, and she may be somewhat compulsive and even fanatical at times. Alexandra likes to live intensely and has no respect for people who are weak or avoid confronting life and their own destiny.

Her mind is very active and her judgment usually is sound. Although Alexandra Ledermann's thinking is influenced by her feelings, she is inclined to think in realistic and practical terms. She is in control of her feelings and is able to express them rationally.
