Grace Jones
motivation

Although Grace Jones is quite proud and likes to show off and impress other people with her accomplishments and appearance (as described on the previous page) - she is really quite practical, solid, and down to earth (as discussed below). Because of this, she is likely to actually earn the right to be admired - that is, to have actually done something to be proud of.

She is a steadfast and patient soul, capable of tremendous devotion, dedication, endurance and constancy. The ability to follow through and stick with things is one of her greatest assets. Once Jones' course is set, she pursues it tenaciously until it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway her from her purpose.

Grace Jones has a very practical nature; she wants to see concrete, tangible results for her efforts, and she is not one to concoct wild dreams that are unlikely to come into fruition. Most of her "wild dreams" have to do with material achievements, well-being and security, for she has a great love of the physical world and she wants to experience and enjoy it to the full. Though Grace Jones will work long and persistently, she also has a strong sensual and comfort-loving side, and she wants to enjoy what she has worked for. In fact, Jones can be enormously lazy at times and has a tendency to overindulge in good food and other earthly pleasures. Grace Jones also loves the beauty of the natural world and she probably prefers a serene country setting to an urban life style.

Basically, her needs are simple and she is easy to please. Grace Jones has a strong desire for security, stability and peace, and will rarely make changes unless she is forced to do so. She is not very demanding emotionally, though she does crave a great deal of physical closeness and affection. Because of her faithfulness, emotional steadfastness and gentle strength, others often depend upon Jones for support. Though she hates upheaval and sudden changes, Grace Jones usually maintains her poise and equanimity. Grace Jones also has an innate sense of harmony with nature, allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time and the patience to nurture something into being - be it a garden, a child, or a creative project. She makes an excellent parent, especially if she follows her instincts more often than "the experts".

Grace has three major faults: one is her bullheaded obstinacy. The second is her unwillingness to deviate from her safe, predictable routine. And the third is Jones' tendency to always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative, speculative, and fanciful - in other words, Grace Jones lacks the ability to play with ideas and possibilities, and to open her mind to new horizons.

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Jones. Grace Jones has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. She is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Grace Jones may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

She is direct, energetic, sometimes aggressive and combative. Grace Jones often feels that she needs to fight to get what she wants, and she tends to have a "me-first" attitude that angers or irritates others. She is hasty, restless, impatient and sometimes reckless.

Jones occasionally gambles, splurges or overextends herself in ways that may be at odds with her usual way of doing things. Exaggerating her accomplishments or spending too much in order to impress others and build up her own self-esteem can be a problem. However, Grace Jones also has faith and an optimistic side, which enable her to recover from the negative consequences of her excesses, and to learn from them.
