Bonnie Parker
motivation

Though Parker may seem breezy, independent and freedom loving (as mentioned in the previous chapter), she is in fact not completely happy without a partner. She enjoys being on the move and exploring new territory, but wants a traveling companion! Parker yearns for fulfilling, yet non-restricting relationships.

Harmony and balance are her keynotes. Bonnie Parker instinctively understands the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and she is always fair and willing to meet others half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Bonnie does all she can to avoid conflict and discord. Her spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and she often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Parker since she can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make her own decisions. Parker will rarely act without seeking the counsel and feedback of other people. She prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on her own. Being alone feels very unnatural to Bonnie Parker, and she has a strong need for a partner and intimate one-on-one relationships.

Bonnie Parker invests a great deal of her energy in personal love relationships and she is very idealistic and romantic about marriage. Bonnie Parker seeks a partner who is her equal intellectually, and who is capable of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. She makes a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and she enjoys the traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Parker perceives relationships like an art that requires time, attention and creative effort. Bonnie Parker appreciates a partner who is subtle and polished, never coarse or blunt.

Fairness and equality, both in her personal relationships and in the world, are extremely important to her. If Bonnie Parker fights about anything, it is often about something she feels is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to Bonnie. She believes in moderation in all things and avoids fanaticism and extremism at all costs.

Bonnie Parker also has a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way Parker dresses and furnishes her home and workspace. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. Working with people as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator, or in an artistic field such as design or photography would be fulfilling to her.

Her career, reputation, and public image are very important to Parker. Bonnie Parker has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy her; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Bonnie Parker may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

She is assertive, energetic, active, courageous and vital. Bonnie Parker has a very strong physical drive that expresses itself as sexuality and passion, a desire to compete with others, and a tendency to fight. Bonnie Parker has a victorious spirit and the will to win.

While Bonnie Parker does have a strong drive, she frequently holds herself back. One of her challenges lies in learning to endure frustration and to patiently overcome the obstacles in her life (or her own internal caution and resistance!).

Bonnie has to overcome considerable hardship in order to fulfill her personal destiny. However, she does have the strength and stamina necessary to do so. Support and helpful guidance from her father or other significant men in her life may well be lacking. In fact, their disapproval of Bonnie and their harsh criticism are apt to be two of her greatest handicaps, and at times she may feel quite discouraged and alone. But true self-reliance and a solid sense of her own powers may well be the silver lining to that cloud in her life. Bonnie Parker needs to learn to follow her own creative impulses and heart's desires, regardless of what her critics or the authorities say.

She is warm-hearted, kind, generous and very popular, especially with the opposite sex. Parker's happy feelings rub off onto others and everyone enjoys being with her. Due to a protective and encouraging upbringing, her relationships with her parents are good.
