David Cassidy motivation
Although David Cassidy appears gentle and sympathetic toward others (as explained in the previous chapter), he is also a "warrior". Cassidy sometimes feels torn between these two facets of his character: the sensitive, tenderhearted, home-loving side, and the assertive, competitive, risk-taking side. People who first meet David Cassidy often think that he is a "softy", but later find out that he is strong willed and pursues his goals aggressively.
He is a person who thrives on challenge, and he often feels that he must battle his way through life, relying on no one and nothing but his own strength, intelligence and courage. David Cassidy believes in being totally honest, true to himself and his own vision and convictions, even if it means standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor and authenticity are Cassidy's gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.
David Cassidy craves the freedom to do things in his own way, and he works very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying out another's will is not his style. David likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.
David Cassidy loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, then he is always ready to stir things up, do something new, make changes and introduce some fresh blood. Routine and sameness are tantamount to death for him. He is not afraid of trying something that has never been done before, and even though he may sometimes be perceived as a fool, David Cassidy also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for Cassidy, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.
He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. David Cassidy believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and he perceives himself as a strong, even invincible, person. David Cassidy hates being ill or in a position of dependency. Accepting his own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for him.
He is basically aggressive in his attitudes and less adept at relating to others, picking up on subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing and harmonizing. He is often so fired up about his own projects or goals that he inadvertently runs over or ignores other people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of others' contributions, ideas and feelings would be highly instrumental in improving Cassidy's relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes David Cassidy to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his goals through anger or temper tantrums. David Cassidy would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however his energetic, restless nature rarely allows David Cassidy to do so.
His career, reputation and public image are very important to Cassidy. David Cassidy 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. David Cassidy may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.
David Cassidy tends to struggle with how to assert his will and he gets what he wants in life in a way that he feels good about. Cassidy may be unsure about when to use force and take decisive action, and he may occasionally become inappropriately aggressive or pushy. David Cassidy may also disapprove of his own anger, competitiveness or aggressive impulses - and thus have difficulty accessing his personal power. Learning to accept and express his "masculine" or "yang" qualities in a positive manner is a challenge for Cassidy.
David Cassidy has a strong need for intellectual relationships and associations and he likes to share his intellectual interests with others. This could be in meetings or by joining various clubs and organizations.
