George Antheil
motivation

Behind Antheil's strong, proud appearance (described in the previous chapter), there is a very tender, sensitive, sentimental, feeling person. He is probably much shyer and more private than initially presumed.

George has powerful emotional attachments to the past, his family, his childhood, places he associates with safety and security, and his beginnings. It is very important to Antheil to maintain a connection with his roots and heritage and keep family bonds strong. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, Antheil tends to cling to whatever is dear to him - be it a person, a familiar place, or a cherished possession.

He is sympathetic, nurturing, supportive and very sensitive to the emotional needs of other people. George likes to be needed and to care for others, and he often worries about the people he loves. George Antheil has a very strong need for a sense of belonging and acceptance, and much of his life centers on his home. He is more concerned about people and their feelings than with power, achievement, or position in society. Kindness, consideration and tenderness are more meaningful to George Antheil than any sort of honor the world can bestow.

He is primarily emotional and his views are often dominated by his feelings and his own personal, subjective experiences, rather than reason, logic or abstract principles. It is difficult for him to judge situations fairly and objectively because his personal sympathies and loyalties usually factor in. George Antheil takes things very personally and sometimes builds a wall around himself to shield himself from pain and rejection. George Antheil feels rather shy and vulnerable at heart. He also tends to be moody and experiences frequent mood swings. George Antheil needs to have a place and time in his life to withdraw, introspect, dream and replenish himself; otherwise George Antheil becomes cranky and unhappy with those around him.

George Antheil functions in an instinctive, irrational manner and likes to immerse himself in creative activities where he can express his feelings, imagination and instincts. Antheil often loves to cook, since it can be both creative and a way to nurture and nourish others. George Antheil also has a great affinity for music, because it evokes and communicates feelings that may be difficult or impossible to put into words.

His compassion, sensitivity, and imagination are Antheil's strong points. His faults include an inability to let go of the past and move forward, clannishness and prejudice, and a tendency for self-pity when facing hardship.

George Antheil tends to get involved in the helping professions or in activities where his efforts are hidden, behind the scenes, unacknowledged, or unknown to the public. Asserting himself or getting up in front of an audience may be exceedingly uncomfortable for Antheil.

George Antheil is loving and well loved by others, and has a strong need for relationships that offer kindness, friendship and affection. His artistic and creative powers are also well developed and George does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Antheil, as are his personal appearance and attractiveness.

Antheil depends a great deal on other people's reactions to him and rarely acts until he sees how he affects others. George Antheil must learn to be direct and straightforward, rather than evasive or manipulative. George should also learn to rely heavily on his hunches.
