Dolores Costello
motivation

Inside, she is quite different from what her freewheeling, confident, playful demeanor (mentioned in the previous chapter) would suggest. Although Costello likes to theorize and speculate and dream big dreams, she is basically clearheaded and practical. However, Dolores Costello also worries and frets a great deal, although others may not know this from her jovial demeanor.

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

She is also highly discriminating and may be especially particular about her diet, hygiene, and health habits. Dolores has high aesthetic standards and refined sensitivities, and is bothered by environmental elements (such as disorder, cigarette smoke, etc.) that others overlook. Her tastes are simple and understated, yet refined. She is truly offended by coarseness, bluntness and vulgarity. Costello can sometimes be difficult to live with because of her fastidiousness, sensitivity and idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.

Though Dolores Costello seems rather cool and self-contained, she is very helpful by nature and enjoys serving others. She is content to play a supporting role rather than the lead. She is quietly devoted to the ones she cares for.

She is cautious, realistic and practical in her approach to life and disinclined to gamble. Dolores Costello analyzes before she acts. She is sometimes too serious. If Costello allowed herself to play and make mistakes, it would be highly beneficial to her health!

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Costello. Dolores Costello has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. She is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Dolores Costello may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

She is intensely willful, zealous, and fanatical though Dolores often hides the intensity of her feelings and her personal motives and desires. Costello is infatuated with power and has an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition and the desire to be "somebody". Dolores Costello tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma and often seeks to emulate them. Dolores Costello both fears, and is intensely fascinated with, death and the hidden, secret, dark side of life.
