Ethel Barrymore motivation
Although Ethel Barrymore appears quite pleasant, agreeable and prepared to compromise for the sake of harmony (as described on the previous page), she also has a strong need to shine and express her own opinions. Ethel has the potential to be a great leader, manager, coach or teacher.
Proud and intensely individual, Ethel Barrymore really wants to stand out, to be the very best she can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for her unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to her, and she cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Ethel Barrymore must put her personal stamp on whatever she does, and direct her own course in life. Ethel Barrymore needs to have a place where she can shine, express herself creatively, and be the one in charge.
Ethel has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. Ethel Barrymore also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.
For Ethel Barrymore, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and she secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Ethel wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. She needs someone to believe in her and her dreams. Though Barrymore appears radiantly self-confident and independent, she is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. She cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.
Ethel Barrymore also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person she loves feel special. Ethel Barrymore loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in her relationships. She is also immensely loyal and will defend her loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend her pride or betray her trust. However, Ethel Barrymore likes to be the strong one in her relationships and she really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Ethel needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as she is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with her.
Barrymore's strengths are her zest and love for life, her creative power and her warm and generous heart. Her primary fault is her tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression she is making and with her own creative self-expression that she forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around her.
Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Barrymore. Ethel Barrymore 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. Ethel Barrymore may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.
