Eddie Murphy
drive and ambition

Eddie Murphy avoids direct confrontation as much as possible and is uncomfortable with aggressiveness, competition and personal power. His ego drive is not very dominant and Murphy is not especially ambitious or eager to push his way to the top. He may feel inadequate in situations that call for strong, forceful action. The only instance in which Eddie Murphy will really fight is when he senses that his loved ones - or something dear to him- are being jeopardized, in which case he is a fierce defender. Eddie Murphy has a very strong protective side. He acts on impulse and instinct and may lash out at anyone he perceives as threatening to Eddie's home or family. However, Eddie Murphy will rarely initiate a confrontation. His goals also tend to be very personal and centered on family closeness and inner satisfaction rather than worldly achievement.

He is sensitive to stress and does not handle a high-pressured, competitive atmosphere very well. Eddie Murphy is very touchy, irritable and difficult to live with when there are many demands or stressful situations at work. His energy level varies and is very dependent on the emotional harmony (or lack thereof) in his home. A supportive partner is very instrumental in helping Murphy to achieve his goals and desires.

He is a team player and works well in collaboration with others who share his goals, ideals, and intentions. Eddie Murphy can coordinate group efforts and inspire people to work toward a shared goal.

Team sports are also a lot of fun for Eddie, and he could be a leader, coach, or director of any group endeavor.

Murphy dreams up creative solutions to problems and takes an imaginative, unusual approach to getting a job done. When difficulties arise, Eddie Murphy prefers to avoid conflict and confrontation in favor of more peaceful or subtle methods of resolving problems. Murphy finds it satisfying to work in order to help others or for a cause that transcends his own narrow, personal interests. Eddie Murphy has an artistic flair and appreciates the colorful, unique or strange.

His imagination is great and Murphy tends to think with a purpose in mind. He is able to function despite a degree of uncertainty that colors his actions, and he is likely to have an alternate plan when matters do not progress the way Eddie wants them to.

Eddie Murphy needs to have a strong spiritual base to his life in order to achieve anything in concrete, external terms. That is, fulfilling any ambitions he has for himself will depend upon whether or not Murphy feels connected to a higher source. Clarifying his own role or direction in life may take Eddie Murphy some time, so he is apt to be a "late bloomer" when it comes to outward expression and success in material terms.

Eddie has grand aspirations and may be inordinately ambitious at times. That is, he is apt to be discontent with small successes and to feel like a failure unless he achieves extraordinary things. Eddie Murphy should avoid get-rich-quick schemes which promise tremendous returns for little energy expenditure. Even if they do seem to succeed, Murphy's ideals and values could be compromised.

Eddie Murphy possesses great zeal and passion for achieving his aspirations in life, and can be something of a fanatic when he sets his sights on a goal. Eddie could do research work, psychological investigation, even detective work - anything that involves delving beneath the surface for hidden elements. A great love of mystery and exploring the unknown fuels many of Eddie's personal ambitions.

Eddie Murphy tends to be somewhat pessimistic and may frequently feel frustrated and depressed. Others may try to hold Eddie back in the attainment of his objectives, and success may come to him slowly but steady.
