Columba Bush
motivation

Although Columba Bush appears quite pleasant, agreeable and prepared to compromise for the sake of harmony (as described on the previous page), she also has a strong need to shine and express her own opinions. Columba has the potential to be a great leader, manager, coach or teacher.

Proud and intensely individual, Columba Bush 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". Columba Bush must put her personal stamp on whatever she does, and direct her own course in life. Columba Bush needs to have a place where she can shine, express herself creatively, and be the one in charge.

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

For Columba Bush, 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. Columba 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 Bush 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.

Columba Bush also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person she loves feel special. Columba Bush 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, Columba Bush likes to be the strong one in her relationships and she really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Columba needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as she is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with her.

Bush'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 Bush. Columba Bush 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. Columba Bush may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

Columba Bush often feels that she is at cross purposes with herself, for her conscious intentions and desires conflict with her subconscious emotional needs and drives. She is torn in two different directions. Columba has difficulty satisfying both her need to be an individual and her need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Columba sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to her or what Columba really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.

Her life is apt to be blessed with more than her share of helpful friends, fortuitous relationships, and doors opening to her at just the right time. Because Columba Bush is usually willing to share and to give back to others in a generous way, she continues to generate successes in her life no matter how unfortunate prevailing circumstances are. Columba should beware, however, of becoming an opportunist.

However she also has a more somber side, which keeps Bush's optimism from becoming ungrounded or overblown. Columba Bush tends to seesaw between her faith, vision and high aspirations, and her caution and realism (or fear!). She cannot and does not rely on good luck or grace alone, and she accepts the need for hard work. Her skeptical or "somber" side is described below.

Columba Bush has a healthy amount of self-control and self-discipline. Bush also radiates a rather responsible, trustworthy, solid feeling about herself which will win her the confidence of others, especially her superiors.

While she is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Columba Bush also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.

She is very open and receptive to the spiritual, intangible, and subtle realms, and can easily receive or give conscious guidance based on her inner attunement. Columba Bush takes many things for granted, such as the existence of an afterlife or the effects of subtle influences like aromatherapy, spiritual healing, etc. These things seem obvious to Columba, whereas to many people they are a matter of conjecture or even illusory. Columba Bush may not realize she has spiritual gifts because they come so naturally to her.

Inwardly she is zealous and fanatical, though she may hide her personal desires and intentions, as well as the intensity of her feelings. She is driven by a deep inner sense of destiny and mission and an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition. Columba is infatuated with power, incredibly willful and stubbornly fixated on achieving greatness or being someone Special. Columba Bush tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma, and she often seeks to emulate them. Columba has potential for tremendous good or tremendous evil.

With her charm and outgoing personality Columba Bush has no trouble attracting people and she enjoys pleasant and congenial relationships with them. She may choose social contact with generous or wealthy people and would prefer to live in a beautiful home.
