Dolly Parton
motivation
Parton's quiet, unassuming, rather modest facade (described in the previous chapter) is liable to mask certain far less modest goals and ambitions in life. Materially (or in other ways), she is much more aspiring than she may seem, and reaching the top academically or professionally is really important to her.
Serious, disciplined and quietly ambitious, she is driven to prove herself and to achieve material accomplishments and success. Her work, her position in the world, and her contributions to society are very important to Parton. Dolly Parton will persevere through enormous hardship and frustration in order to reach a goal she has set for herself, and she often sacrifices much in the area of personal relationships and home life in order to do so.
Dolly Parton has a thoughtful, quiet and self-contained disposition and does not readily show her inner feelings and needs. Dolly Parton seems to always be in control, capable, efficient and strong. She is often the person in the family or group who is given more responsibility (and more work) than the others. She is highly conscientious and even as a child she possessed great maturity, soberness, and worldly wisdom.
She is basically a pragmatic realist, and though she may have all sorts of dreams, ideals and colorful theories, she feels that the ultimate test of a concept is its practical usefulness. Dolly has an innate shrewdness and business sense, and there is a bit of the cynic in her as well.
She is clear-headed, detached and objective, and is not swayed by emotional dramatics. She is often authoritarian - strictly fair, but without mercy. Dolly Parton has a great respect for tradition and even if she does not agree with certain laws, she will abide by them or strive to change them, but never flagrantly disregard them. Cautious and conservative, Dolly Parton plays by the rules.
She is subtle, understated, quiet, deep, not easy to get to know intimately, and never superficial. She is a modest person and sometimes overly self-critical. Giving herself (and others) permission to feel, play, be spontaneous and silly, and sometimes weak and vulnerable is not easy for Parton.
Parton's strong points are her depth and thoroughness, patience, tenacity and faithfulness. Her faults are a tendency to be rigid and inflexible, and too serious.
Dolly Parton has a very dramatic, creative, expressive nature and she loves to perform. Dolly enjoys being the center of attention and she seeks to shine, to excel, and to be outstanding in some unique way. She is very involved in her own creativity and self-expression, and takes great pleasure in developing and using her special talents, whether these are artistic, athletic, or intellectual. Dolly Parton has a strong sense of pride.
Dolly Parton is loving and well loved by others, and has a strong need for relationships that offer kindness, friendship and affection. Her artistic and creative powers are also well developed and Dolly does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Parton, as are her personal appearance and attractiveness.
There is an ongoing, subtle conflict within Dolly Parton, between her conscious attitudes and aspirations, and her deeper emotional and subconscious beliefs, needs, and feelings. This creates considerable inner stress and sometimes paralyzing indecision, mostly due to the fact that Dolly may be trying to follow a path that is at odds with her subconscious desires. Chronic tightness or tension in her body may well be a signal that Dolly Parton is denying or suppressing the messages from her subconscious or emotional self.
Ideally, Dolly Parton will learn to accept the two quite different aspects of her and to express both of them. If she cannot do this, Parton is apt to attract many relationships into her life with people who reflect her denied or repressed qualities, and who seem to make her life difficult. (Read also chapter 4 in order to get a better picture of the duality described here.)
Dolly has big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. Dolly Parton tends to exaggerate, promise more than is feasible and misjudge by being overly optimistic. However, she never gives up on her hopes for the future. Parton tends to be restless and discontent with the responsibilities and limitations of life.
Dolly Parton feels spiritually bonded with her friends, partners or associates. She is likely to have a good rapport and harmony in her relationships with the opposite sex and enjoys spending time with her partner.
Parton has a strong will and great determination and is willing to work hard to reach her goals. Dolly Parton often takes on more than her share and labors untiringly, sparing herself no pain in her work. Dolly should guard against over-exerting herself physically.
