Billie Burke
motivation

Although Billie Burke comes across as a very private, somewhat wary and enigmatic individual (as described on the previous page), there is another, quite different side to her: a person who really wants to be noticed, known, loved and admired.

Proud and intensely individual, Billie Burke really wants to stand out, to be the very best she can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for her unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to her, and she cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Billie Burke must put her personal stamp on whatever she does, and direct her own course in life. Billie Burke needs to have a place where she can shine, express herself creatively, and be the one in charge.

Billie has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. Billie Burke also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.

For Billie Burke, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and she secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Billie wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. She needs someone to believe in her and her dreams. Though Burke appears radiantly self-confident and independent, she is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. She cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

Billie Burke also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person she loves feel special. Billie Burke loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in her relationships. She is also immensely loyal and will defend her loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend her pride or betray her trust. However, Billie Burke likes to be the strong one in her relationships and she really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Billie needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as she is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with her.

Burke's strengths are her zest and love for life, her creative power and her warm and generous heart. Her primary fault is her tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression she is making and with her own creative self-expression that she forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around her.

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Burke. Billie Burke has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. She is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Billie Burke may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

Billie Burke feels spiritually bonded with her friends, partners or associates. She is likely to have a good rapport and harmony in her relationships with the opposite sex and enjoys spending time with her partner.

Billie Burke has a basic need to fit in with others and is always willing to cooperate. She enjoys working with others as a team and is a well liked comrade.

She is inclined to feel uncomfortable or restrained in some way in the presence of others and prefer to be alone. Billie Burke is modest and shy in her approach to others and tends to accept more responsibility than she really needs to.

Burke depends a great deal on other people's reactions to her and rarely acts until she sees how she affects others. Billie Burke must learn to be direct and straightforward, rather than evasive or manipulative. Billie should also learn to rely heavily on her hunches.
