Billy Graham
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Billy's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Billy Graham comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Billy Graham - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Billy Graham" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Billy a little better. This page describes the disguise Graham wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Billy Graham meets life head on and throws himself into new experiences with zest and enthusiasm. He is direct, straightforward, assertive, and usually completely aboveboard in all his dealings. Candid and incapable of guile, insincerity or phoniness, Billy projects a confident and sometimes arrogant façade to others. He often lacks tact and sensitivity, and can be completely oblivious to others' needs, and inadvertently selfish. Graham is self-reliant and does not depend upon social approval and reinforcement as much as other people do. He likes to be original and does not mind doing it alone. Billy Graham may feel that he does not fit into groups very well and that he does not naturally blend in and cooperate with others. He likes to be either a leader or a loner.

Graham is a doer and thrives on freedom, challenge, and activity. He tends to think in clear, black and white terms, and to be somewhat simplistic in his outlook, which enables Billy to act in a very decisive and self-assured manner. When inspired by an idea, Billy Graham feels such a sense of urgency and excitement about it that he will often forge ahead and try to implement it in a rather bold but poorly planned and crudely executed way. Patience and careful attention to details are not Graham's forte. However, he never accepts defeat and will experience brilliant and unprecedented successes and discoveries, as well as painful failures. To Billy Graham it is far better to make mistakes than to play it safe and never try.

He is scornful of what he sees as weakness or passivity in others and also of the human tendency to imitate and follow. Billy Graham is not a follower. Others see Billy as a strong individual and perhaps brash and brazen as well. Graham presents a strong front to the world and generally does not allow others to see his vulnerable or insecure side.

There is an intense and somewhat secretive or guarded quality about Billy Graham which may make people around him distinctly uncomfortable. They may feel that Billy he is constantly scanning their inner motives, and he probably is. Graham sees through anything phony, any false pretense - and he may or may not be above using others' Achilles' heels (which he perceives so clearly) against them. At times though, Billy Graham may be too suspicious and assigns negative intentions to innocent people. Billy should avoid looking always on the dark side.

There is an air of universal sympathy, gentleness, and nonjudgmental acceptance about Billy Graham which draws people in need to him. Because he has a good deal of intuitive insight or psychic perceptiveness, Billy is able to say or do just the right thing for them. Billy Graham needs to beware of fostering dependency in those people, however.

Others may see Billy as a cool, reserved and unapproachable person, perhaps as a result of his conservative and stern upbringing. Billy Graham could feel that no one understands him and tends to isolate himself from others.

He is very receptive to the influence of his environment, giving other people a chance to exploit or use him. Billy Graham has the ability to tune into the events around him, but he also should be careful not to overreact to the intentions of others.

He is able to control his feelings and conduct himself in a very proper manner. Because of his inner shyness, Billy Graham tends to separate himself from others and gives the impression that he does not want to be talked to.

He is likely to acquire a very powerful position and will gain public recognition for his efforts. Billy Graham may even achieve a degree of celebrity in his sphere and would make an excellent politician.
