Gauri Khan
motivation

Though Khan may seem breezy, independent and freedom loving (as mentioned in the previous chapter), she is in fact not completely happy without a partner. She enjoys being on the move and exploring new territory, but wants a traveling companion! Khan yearns for fulfilling, yet non-restricting relationships.

Harmony and balance are her keynotes. Gauri Khan instinctively understands the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and she is always fair and willing to meet others half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Gauri does all she can to avoid conflict and discord. Her spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and she often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Khan since she can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make her own decisions. Khan will rarely act without seeking the counsel and feedback of other people. She prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on her own. Being alone feels very unnatural to Gauri Khan, and she has a strong need for a partner and intimate one-on-one relationships.

Gauri Khan invests a great deal of her energy in personal love relationships and she is very idealistic and romantic about marriage. Gauri Khan seeks a partner who is her equal intellectually, and who is capable of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. She makes a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and she enjoys the traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Khan perceives relationships like an art that requires time, attention and creative effort. Gauri Khan appreciates a partner who is subtle and polished, never coarse or blunt.

Fairness and equality, both in her personal relationships and in the world, are extremely important to her. If Gauri Khan fights about anything, it is often about something she feels is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to Gauri. She believes in moderation in all things and avoids fanaticism and extremism at all costs.

Gauri Khan also has a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way Khan dresses and furnishes her home and workspace. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. Working with people as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator, or in an artistic field such as design or photography would be fulfilling to her.

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Khan. Gauri Khan 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. Gauri Khan may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

Gauri Khan often feels that she is at cross purposes with herself, for her conscious intentions and desires conflict with her subconscious emotional needs and drives. She is torn in two different directions. Gauri has difficulty satisfying both her need to be an individual and her need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Gauri sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to her or what Gauri really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.

Innovative, original, unorthodox and unconventional, she identifies with the role of a rebel, reformer or iconoclast. Gauri Khan insists upon a great deal of personal freedom and does not easily adapt to others' needs and wishes. Gauri needs a lifestyle that allows her to be spontaneous. She often feels that she is somehow different from other people and outside of society's mainstream.

Gauri Khan feels physically strong and fit and has a healthy sex-life. Her actions are governed by a strong sense of honor and integrity. Khan is ambitious with a talent for organizing and a strong desire to succeed, insuring by that her professional success.
