Denis Auguste Raffet
motivation

Behind Raffet's open, enthusiastic, friendly demeanor (described in the previous chapter), he has a rather gentle, receding nature. He is much more sensitive and vulnerable than his outgoing demeanor would suggest.

Moreover, because his outgoing, enthusiastic approach to life is fueled by high idealism and a vivid imagination, Denis Auguste Raffet easily becomes enamored of a romantic or idealistic goal or vision without investing sufficient energy into analyzing, planning or working in order to realize his dreams. Too often Raffet waits for the blessings of fortune to provide him with the resources needed rather than applying himself to the work that needs to be done. When properly channeled, Auguste's enthusiasm and vision can be an inspiration to others and an endless source of creative ideas that propel Denis Auguste Raffet toward very interesting, creative endeavors.

At heart he is very gentle, impressionable and receptive - a dreamer. The world of his imagination, feelings, and intuition is as real to Denis Auguste Raffet as anything in the outer world, though he may have trouble verbalizing or interpreting his inner experiences in a way others can understand. Mystical, artistic, musical, emotional and imaginative, he has a rich inner life, though Raffet may seem rather unobtrusive and quiet outwardly. Denis Auguste Raffet usually keeps to himself.

Auguste shows great sensitivity and empathy toward others and often senses things psychically or intuitively which prove to be correct. He is tolerant, forgiving and nonjudgmental, accepting people unconditionally regardless of their flaws, mistakes, or outward appearance. Auguste has deep compassion for the suffering of any fellow creature and he often feels the pain of others as if it were his own. Denis Auguste Raffet sympathizes with the needy, the disadvantaged and the misfits of society. He is capable of giving selflessly, living a life of devoted and compassionate service to others, as a healer, physician, social worker or minister. However, Raffet tends to give indiscriminately, to let others take advantage of his kindness, and to encourage the weak to remain so by becoming dependent upon him. Auguste has little sense of boundaries, or of knowing when to say "no". Moderation and self-discipline are not his strong points.

He is a lover and a peacemaker rather than a fighter, and he tries to avoid open conflict. Raffet will patiently ignore or "tune out" problems and hope they will go away by themselves, rather than confront them directly and Raffet tends to lack the positive, fighting spirit that is sometimes necessary to overcome challenges. He is fluid, open, nonresistant and somewhat passive. Denis Auguste Raffet does things in a subtle, often covert, manner.

His gifts may also lie in the realm of the creative, artistic, or musical, for he possesses great sensitivity, inspiration and limitless imagination. Denis Auguste Raffet has a strong affinity for beauty and love.

His faults include a tendency to be lazy and negligent, and to wallow in self-pity rather than take strong, definite action to change his life for the better. He also tends to become so detached from his immediate environment that he lives in a disorderly, chaotic sort of hodgepodge, though this probably bothers those around Raffet more than it bothers him.

The urge to learn and communicate is essential to Denis Auguste Raffet, and he expresses himself very well through writing, teaching or sharing ideas and information. Raffet is persuasive and fluent with language.

Restless and inquisitive, Auguste enjoys being mobile and taking short trips and excursions in order to see for himself what is going on in the world around him.

Denis Auguste Raffet feels that he has the support of his family or others in his environment for his creative efforts and personal goals, which enables him to act with confidence. He is able to satisfy both his need to be an individual and his need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. He is in harmony with himself and is therefore an effective individual.

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