Franky Van Der Elst
motivation
Although Franky Van Der Elst approaches life with curiosity and a willingness to learn and try new things (as stated in the previous chapter), at heart he is much more stable and reliable than he appears. Van Der Elst is, in fact, quite solid though he can leave the impression of being rather changeable. He is also not quite as flexible and adaptable as one might assume initially. Van Der Elst can act silly or experiment with a lot of different things, but does not lose perspective or balance.
He is a steadfast and patient soul, capable of tremendous devotion, dedication, endurance and constancy. The ability to follow through and stick with things is one of his greatest assets. Once Van Der Elst's course is set, he pursues it tenaciously until it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway him from his purpose.
Franky Van Der Elst has a very practical nature; he wants to see concrete, tangible results for his efforts, and he is not one to concoct wild dreams that are unlikely to come into fruition. Most of his "wild dreams" have to do with material achievements, well-being and security, for he has a great love of the physical world and he wants to experience and enjoy it to the full. Though Franky Van Der Elst will work long and persistently, he also has a strong sensual and comfort-loving side, and he wants to enjoy what he has worked for. In fact, Van Der Elst can be enormously lazy at times and has a tendency to overindulge in good food and other earthly pleasures. Franky Van Der Elst also loves the beauty of the natural world and he probably prefers a serene country setting to an urban life style.
Basically, his needs are simple and he is easy to please. Franky Van Der Elst has a strong desire for security, stability and peace, and will rarely make changes unless he is forced to do so.

Though he hates upheaval and sudden changes, Franky Van Der Elst usually maintains his poise and equanimity. Franky Van Der Elst also has an innate sense of harmony with nature, allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time and the patience to nurture something into being - be it a garden, a child, or a creative project. He makes an excellent parent, especially if he follows his instincts more often than "the experts".
Franky has three major faults: one is his bullheaded obstinacy. The second is his unwillingness to deviate from his safe, predictable routine. And the third is Van Der Elst's tendency to always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative, speculative, and fanciful - in other words, Franky Van Der Elst lacks the ability to play with ideas and possibilities, and to open his mind to new horizons.
