Gerard Way
motivation

Behind Way's proud and magnanimous demeanor (as described on the previous page) lies a real go-getter. Others feel that he is rather narcissistic. Gerard Way should strive to always be aware of others' needs and concerns to prove this criticism wrong!

He is a person who thrives on challenge, and he often feels that he must battle his way through life, relying on no one and nothing but his own strength, intelligence and courage. Gerard Way believes in being totally honest, true to himself and his own vision and convictions, even if it means standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor and authenticity are Way's gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Gerard Way craves the freedom to do things in his own way, and he works very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying out another's will is not his style. Gerard likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

Gerard Way loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, then he is always ready to stir things up, do something new, make changes and introduce some fresh blood. Routine and sameness are tantamount to death for him. He is not afraid of trying something that has never been done before, and even though he may sometimes be perceived as a fool, Gerard Way also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for Way, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.

He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Gerard Way believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and he perceives himself as a strong, even invincible, person. Gerard Way hates being ill or in a position of dependency. Accepting his own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for him.

He is basically aggressive in his attitudes and less adept at relating to others, picking up on subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing and harmonizing. He is often so fired up about his own projects or goals that he inadvertently runs over or ignores other people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of others' contributions, ideas and feelings would be highly instrumental in improving Way's relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes Gerard Way to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his goals through anger or temper tantrums. Gerard Way would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however his energetic, restless nature rarely allows Gerard Way to do so.

Way is very attracted to world travel, foreign cultures and studies that expand his intellectual horizons and broaden his understanding of the world.

Gerard Way is philosophically inclined and concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting an overall picture of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy his mind much of the time.

Gerard Way 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 Gerard does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Way, as are his personal appearance and attractiveness.

He is imaginative and sensitive to anything colorful, beautiful or magical. He is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, music and mysticism. His spiritual values color Gerard's whole perspective and approach to life. He is idealistic and perhaps impractical.

Gerard Way has a strong need to be with people whom he is emotionally close to. He is very sensitive to others emotional needs, lending a sympathetic ear to their problems. Peace and harmony in his personal surrounding and relationships are very important to Way.

Gerard Way tends to impose his will upon others in a rather ruthless way, but on the other hand he may also be imposed upon by others. Gerard feels a constant need to fight for leadership and has a great desire to become a public figure.
