D. H. Lawrence
motivation

Although D. H. Lawrence approaches life instinctively and intuitively (as described on the previous page), he also has a very analytical, rational, unemotional side, as discussed below. His conflicting urges may vacillate between living passionately and dangerously, and being conservative and playing it safe.

At heart D. H. Lawrence is modest and humble and rarely strives to be in the limelight or in a position of power. D. H. Lawrence has a sharp analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and prefers to observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, Lawrence can be relied upon to be cautious, efficient, and thorough in his work and he takes pride in a job well done. What he may lack in self-confidence D. H. Lawrence often makes up for in skills - fostering expertise, technical knowledge and competence in a specialized area. He is adept at using his hands to create or fix things, and meticulous attention to detail and careful craftsmanship are his forte. Some would say he is a little too meticulous, for Lawrence can be extremely critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as he thinks it should be, and he worries about things that other people consider trivial and unimportant. D. H. Lawrence likes to organize, categorize and arrange everything into a logical system and is often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not fit into a neat category. Disorganization vexes Lawrence. He probably wishes that he were not such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, Lawrence can also be mercilessly self-critical. Whether in his environment or within himself, Lawrence tends to focus on the flaws, with a desire to improve, refine, and perfect. He is strictly factual, truthful, and scrupulously honest in his self-assessment and often does not give himself enough praise or credit.

He is also highly discriminating and may be especially particular about his diet, hygiene, and health habits.

His tastes are simple and understated, yet refined. He is truly offended by coarseness, bluntness and vulgarity.

Though D. H. Lawrence seems rather cool and self-contained, he is very helpful by nature and enjoys serving others. He is content to play a supporting role rather than the lead. He is quietly devoted to the ones he cares for.

He is cautious, realistic and practical in his approach to life and disinclined to gamble. D. H. Lawrence analyzes before he acts. He is sometimes too serious. If Lawrence allowed himself to play and make mistakes, it would be highly beneficial to his health!

Leading groups and classes, and being involved in community efforts, social activities, events or movements are areas where D. H. Lawrence really shines and expresses his creativity. An awareness of politics or the larger social impact of individual actions is natural to him.

He is blessed with abundant optimism, self-confidence and cheerful generosity. His good will and friendliness win him many allies. D. H. Lawrence also has grand visions and aspirations, and the desire to succeed in life in a big way. David Herbert expects the best, and usually gets it.
