Gina Gershon
drive and ambition

Once Gina Gershon sets her mind on a goal, her dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary. Gershon pursues her ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, Gina labors patiently and steadfastly until she achieves what she wants - or until it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is lost. She is a reliable, consistent and productive worker, and she often shoulders more of the workload than her co-workers, usually without complaint. She often ends up with the nitty-gritty work. She prefers a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. In fact, establishing a pattern or routine is very important to her success because once she gets started in a certain direction, it is easy for Gina Gershon to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult. Gina Gershon has a lazy, comfort-loving side and there is often a good deal of inertia for her to overcome before Gershon gets going; but once she gets a momentum going, her energy level is strong and steady.

She is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. Gina Gershon needs to have some tangible product or contribution to show for her efforts, and cannot be content with only intangible rewards (such as having a good time, learning, or spiritual enrichment). Material well-being and security is also a large factor in determining what she does. Gina's stamina and persistence are her greatest assets, but they can also work against her; she can get caught in a rut and refuse to seize new opportunities. Gina Gershon also tends to play it safe, and to limit herself as a result.

She has passionate convictions and will fight for them when challenged. Gina Gershon is willing to dedicate a great deal of her energy and strength to an important cause, and she will act decisively on her beliefs, rather than simply espousing them.

Sometimes Gershon gets so involved, and identifies so much, with her ideas that she cannot really be receptive to anyone who opposes her philosophically.

Gina Gershon has a rather cocky, confident, we-can-do-it attitude that people in her environment pick up on quite readily. Inspiring, motivating, and encouraging others to go out and do their very best is one of Gina's innate gifts. Gina Gershon has faith in the power of action and boldness, and enjoys initiating new programs and projects.

Although enterprising and proactive, Gina Gershon is also capable of ample much self-discipline, patience and effort. She may swing from confidence and trust in the future to pessimism and doubt, when it comes to achieving her aims in life.

Gina Gershon works hard and patiently to achieve her objectives and perseveres in spite of difficulties and discouragement. When concentrating on a single, clearly defined goal, Gina is able to accomplish a great deal, but she often feels that the path is long and arduous, and that she must struggle on alone and shoulder the burden single-handedly.

She is capable of great self-control and self-denial and can be a hard taskmaster, expecting far too much of herself. She also tends to hold herself back and doubt her own power and ability. Gina Gershon feels that she meets with great resistance whenever she tries to assert herself or take initiative. Anger and frustration can be big problems for Gina Gershon, especially when she tries to work with other people or depend too much on others for support. Gina works best in solitude.

Her competitive drive and lofty ambitions (commented upon earlier) feed on either intense spiritual idealism or a rather inflated, grandiose idea of what Gina Gershon can actually accomplish. Her energy level is apt to fluctuate from being very high, as noted earlier, to rather low, as mentioned in the following paragraphs.

Unless she has a goal that transcends merely personal gain, Gina Gershon is apt to become deeply discontented, aimless and uncertain of her direction in life. At her best, Gina Gershon will work or fight for a greater cause, and feel fulfilled through serving the greater good. However, should she lack the necessary focus, Gershon could be confused and easily persuaded to do things that are either unethical or simply ineffectual.

Gina Gershon has a strong sense of mission and instinctively knows that in order to achieve anything great, one must eliminate superfluous activities and give oneself wholly to the task at hand. Her zeal, enthusiasm and clarity of purpose enable Gina Gershon to succeed and to achieve whatever she sets her mind to. Gina Gershon has a strong will, but is usually quiet and understated by nature.

She is likely to feel depressed frequently and has a strong desire to overcome it, but may not be able to count on much support from others. Gina Gershon tends to separate herself from others and she feels like being expelled from society.

Gina has grand aspirations and may be inordinately ambitious at times. In other words, she is liable to be discontent with small successes and to feel like a failure unless she achieves extraordinary things. Gina Gershon should avoid get-rich-quick schemes that promise tremendous returns in return for little energy expenditure. Even if they do seem to succeed, Gershon's ideals and values could be compromised.

In some ways Gina Gershon may feel that she has little choice about her role in society. She is compelled either by unusual external circumstances or by an inner drive, to bring potentially dark, difficult, or taboo issues into public awareness. Gina delves into the hidden side of life - things which may have been purposefully concealed or repressed - and sheds light on them. Gina Gershon could come into direct conflict with the authorities or powers-that-be as a result. She is apt to have extraordinary ambitions, and could also become overly zealous and fanatical.

Discipline, concentration, a realistic sense of what is attainable and steady dedication to achieving her ambitions are the keys to Gina's progress. Gina Gershon is apt to move slowly but surely in the direction of her goals, and solid achievement is the outcome of this conservative approach.
