Carole Lombard
motivation

Although she is quite tolerant, giving and forgiving (as mentioned in the previous chapter), Carole Lombard has a definite sense of fairness, balance and correct proportions, which prevent Carole from being completely happy in an exclusively benevolent role. Carole Lombard really wants equal and reciprocal relationships - not ones that involve being someone else's servant or caregiver. However, Carole Lombard needs to learn how to assert what she wants and needs, for she tends to "go with the flow" or simply wait for her needs to be met. Consequently, she may feel that she is never able to achieve equality in relationships and ends up being taken advantage of. Moreover, Carole should avoid the tendency to be evasive, indirect, and afraid to confront unpleasant issues. The honest and open relationships Lombard seeks cannot be achieved if she is hiding something!

Harmony and balance are her keynotes. Carole Lombard 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, Carole 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 Lombard since she can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make her own decisions. Lombard 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 Carole Lombard, and she has a strong need for a partner and intimate one-on-one relationships.

Carole Lombard invests a great deal of her energy in personal love relationships and she is very idealistic and romantic about marriage. Carole Lombard 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. Lombard perceives relationships like an art that requires time, attention and creative effort. Carole Lombard 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 Carole Lombard fights about anything, it is often about something she feels is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to Carole. She believes in moderation in all things and avoids fanaticism and extremism at all costs.

Carole Lombard also has a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way Lombard 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.

Carole Lombard invests a tremendous amount of her creative energy into her relationships with others, particularly her marriage or other close partnerships. Carole feels that she needs others in order to be all that she can be, and she is disinclined to solitary activities and endeavors.

Working with people on a one-to-one basis to bring about mutual understanding, harmony, and satisfaction is an area in which Carole Lombard can really excel. Counseling or negotiating are talents of hers.

Impulsive, restless and spontaneous, her life is apt to be somewhat unstable and full of sudden changes. Carole Lombard is extremely independent and craves excitement, adventure, freedom and discovery. Lombard has a rebellious streak and she often feels she is unusual and different from society's mainstream. The unorthodox and the novel appeal to her.

Carole is extremely sensitive and imaginative, and she can get lost in her dreams, fantasies and visions. She is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, as well as to the world of color, beauty, and emotion. Carole Lombard is also drawn to mysticism and she has deep spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace loving, Lombard may lack the will and competitive spirit needed to make her way in the world. She is often impractical and may seek to avoid or escape the harsh realities of life.
