Eva Le Gallienne
motivation

Many of the traits described in Chapter 2 are emphasized again below. Eva Le Gallienne should not allow herself to become so responsible and mature that she has no time left for play.

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 Le Gallienne. Eva Le Gallienne 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.

Eva Le Gallienne has a thoughtful, quiet and self-contained disposition and does not readily show her inner feelings and needs. Eva Le Gallienne 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. Eva 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. Eva Le Gallienne 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, Eva Le Gallienne 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 Le Gallienne.

Le Gallienne'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.

Eva Le Gallienne has a clear sense of her own self and she therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who she is and what she wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Le Gallienne can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but she competes and often clashes with other strong individuals. Eva Le Gallienne feels a need to be in control of her own life and she can be too self-involved, too immersed in her own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

Eva Le Gallienne tends to be very impressionable and psychically open, and as a youngster, she may have been dominated in relationships with more forceful personalities. Afraid of confrontation, Le Gallienne may have become passive, identified herself as a helpless victim, or tried to achieve her desires in underhanded ways.

Eva's hypersensitivity to her environment is likely to be a challenge for her in other ways as well. Pollutants, ugliness or dissonance in any form may affect Eva Le Gallienne more than most people.
