Geraldine Chaplin
motivation

The combination of self-reliance and independence - as described in the previous chapter - and her powerful will and creative energy - as described below - makes Geraldine Chaplin a force to be reckoned with! She cannot take a back seat to anyone, and she has tremendous leadership potential.

Proud and intensely individual, Geraldine Chaplin really wants to stand out, to be the very best she can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for her unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to her, and she cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Geraldine Chaplin must put her personal stamp on whatever she does, and direct her own course in life. Geraldine Chaplin needs to have a place where she can shine, express herself creatively, and be the one in charge.

Geraldine has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. Geraldine Chaplin also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.

For Geraldine Chaplin, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and she secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Geraldine wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. She needs someone to believe in her and her dreams. Though Chaplin appears radiantly self-confident and independent, she is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. She cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

Geraldine Chaplin also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person she loves feel special. Geraldine Chaplin loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in her relationships. She is also immensely loyal and will defend her loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend her pride or betray her trust. However, Geraldine Chaplin likes to be the strong one in her relationships and she really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Geraldine needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as she is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with her.

Chaplin's strengths are her zest and love for life, her creative power and her warm and generous heart. Her primary fault is her tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression she is making and with her own creative self-expression that she forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around her.

Geraldine Chaplin has a very dramatic, creative, expressive nature and she loves to perform. Geraldine enjoys being the center of attention and she seeks to shine, to excel, and to be outstanding in some unique way. She is very involved in her own creativity and self-expression, and takes great pleasure in developing and using her special talents, whether these are artistic, athletic, or intellectual. Geraldine Chaplin has a strong sense of pride.

She is an original! Geraldine Chaplin radiates a sort of electrical excitement about the things she is interested in, and conveys this to others, but she also gets bored rather quickly. Geraldine does not mind being a bit unusual or breaking a few rules either.

Inwardly she is zealous and fanatical, though she may hide her personal desires and intentions, as well as the intensity of her feelings. She is driven by a deep inner sense of destiny and mission and an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition. Geraldine is infatuated with power, incredibly willful and stubbornly fixated on achieving greatness or being someone Special. Geraldine Chaplin tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma, and she often seeks to emulate them. Geraldine has potential for tremendous good or tremendous evil.

She is polite and gallant and makes a special effort to meet others half-way. Geraldine Chaplin has the ability to give and receive love. Nurturing friendships, personal love relationships and social life is important to her.

Chaplin alternates between aggression and apathy and sometimes feels that she is unable to meet all the demands made on her. Once Geraldine Chaplin becomes aware of what she needs to do, however, she is capable of working long and hard, not giving up until her work is done.
