Chris Isaak
motivation

Chris Isaak seems much more objective, unemotional and matter-of-fact than he really is. Despite his fussiness and perfectionism (described in the previous chapter), he is actually very caring and loving. Chris Isaak needs to make sure to openly express his feelings because otherwise, others do not realize how much he cares about them.

Chris has powerful emotional attachments to the past, his family, his childhood, places he associates with safety and security, and his beginnings. It is very important to Isaak to maintain a connection with his roots and heritage and keep family bonds strong. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, Isaak tends to cling to whatever is dear to him - be it a person, a familiar place, or a cherished possession.

He is sympathetic, nurturing, supportive and very sensitive to the emotional needs of other people. Chris likes to be needed and to care for others, and he often worries about the people he loves. Chris Isaak has a very strong need for a sense of belonging and acceptance, and much of his life centers on his home. He is more concerned about people and their feelings than with power, achievement, or position in society. Kindness, consideration and tenderness are more meaningful to Chris Isaak than any sort of honor the world can bestow.

He is primarily emotional and his views are often dominated by his feelings and his own personal, subjective experiences, rather than reason, logic or abstract principles. It is difficult for him to judge situations fairly and objectively because his personal sympathies and loyalties usually factor in. Chris Isaak takes things very personally and sometimes builds a wall around himself to shield himself from pain and rejection. Chris Isaak feels rather shy and vulnerable at heart. He also tends to be moody and experiences frequent mood swings. Chris Isaak needs to have a place and time in his life to withdraw, introspect, dream and replenish himself; otherwise Chris Isaak becomes cranky and unhappy with those around him.

Chris Isaak functions in an instinctive, irrational manner and likes to immerse himself in creative activities where he can express his feelings, imagination and instincts. Isaak often loves to cook, since it can be both creative and a way to nurture and nourish others. Chris Isaak also has a great affinity for music, because it evokes and communicates feelings that may be difficult or impossible to put into words.

His compassion, sensitivity, and imagination are Isaak's strong points. His faults include an inability to let go of the past and move forward, clannishness and prejudice, and a tendency for self-pity when facing hardship.

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

He keeps his feelings well under control, but is inclined to feel inferior and insecure. Isaak displays a cool and reserved manner and tries to hide his inner discontentment. Chris Isaak also has a tendency to cling to the past.

His vitality is not up to par and his will-power a bit weak, making Chris Isaak vulnerable to swindle or deceit. His inner discontent and casual attitude could easily lead Isaak into dubious schemes. Chris should refrain from any activity that seems to be subversive.
