Drew Barrymore
motivation

Behind Barrymore's rather lighthearted, witty and restless demeanor described in the previous chapter, lies a sensitive, poetic soul. Drew Barrymore may cover up her sensitivity with light banter and cleverness - or she may use her verbal and communication skills to express her imagination, kindness and refined sensitivity.

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

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

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

Her gifts may also lie in the realm of the creative, artistic, or musical, for she possesses great sensitivity, inspiration and limitless imagination. Drew Barrymore has a strong affinity for beauty and love.

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

Her career, reputation, and public image are very important to Barrymore. Drew Barrymore has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy her; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Drew Barrymore may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

The unusual and unorthodox appeal to Barrymore, and she does not allow tradition, convention or other people's expectations to dictate how she is going to live her life. Drew Barrymore craves freedom, adventure, excitement and discovery, and is not afraid of change. Drew Barrymore possesses inventive and creative genius.

Barrymore always seems to find the right words to verbalize her feelings, especially in regard to love and friendship. Drew Barrymore also has a keen sense of beauty and she probably appreciates art, music or poetry.

Drew Barrymore probably has great intellectual ability and curiosity. Drew never seem to run out of ideas and always welcomes the study of new subjects, the more abstract the better. But she also has the basic sense to translate abstract ideas into practical reality.
