Gavin Rossdale
motivation

Behind Rossdale's rather cool, conservative, somewhat impersonal and businesslike demeanor (as described on the previous page), he is much more passionate and emotional. Gavin Rossdale often conceals his vulnerability beneath a veneer of toughness or indifference.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, he is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Gavin Rossdale is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and he only allows a special few into his inner world. Like a wary animal, he is cautious and mistrustful of those he does not know until "he sniffs them out". He is highly instinctive and intuitive. Gavin Rossdale usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though he may be unable to clearly articulate why he feels the way he does. His feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Gavin Rossdale also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and he forms very intense love bonds and attachments. He is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his relationship with someone he loves. When Gavin Rossdale commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Gavin merges with or "marries" the person he loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for him, and often stormy and nasty. When Rossdale has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Gavin will most certainly never forget the hurt and he often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to him.

Whatever he does, Gavin does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. Rossdale can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Rossdale can also be very narrow-minded: either he is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is Gavin Rossdale emotionally detached and objective. He definitely has a fanatical streak. He is also immensely strong-willed and his tenacity in pursuing his objectives often borders on obsession. He is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Gavin Rossdale loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Gavin never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Gavin Rossdale tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

World travel, foreign cultures, and studies which expand his intellectual horizons and broaden his understanding of the world are very attractive to Rossdale.

Gavin Rossdale has a philosophical turn of mind and is concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting the overview of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy his mind much of the time.

Gavin Rossdale tends to see things from his perspective only and to be rather subjective. He also enjoys talking and expressing his views but does not always listen as well. Gavin Rossdale has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and he needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

Rossdale can be an inspiring leader of a team or group effort. His dynamism and energy evokes the same in others, and he sees healthy competition between people as a plus. Generally, Gavin Rossdale enjoys fine health as well.

While Gavin Rossdale does have a strong drive, he frequently holds himself back. One of his challenges lies in learning to endure frustration and to patiently overcome the obstacles in his life (or his own internal caution and resistance!).

Gavin has to overcome considerable hardship in order to fulfill his personal destiny. However, he does have the strength and stamina necessary to do so. Support and helpful guidance from his father or other significant men in his life may well be lacking. In fact, their disapproval of Gavin and their harsh criticism are apt to be two of his greatest handicaps, and at times he may feel quite discouraged and alone. But true self-reliance and a solid sense of his own powers may well be the silver lining to that cloud in his life. Gavin Rossdale needs to learn to follow his own creative impulses and heart's desires, regardless of what his critics or the authorities say.
