James Joyce
drive and ambition

He is a "busy bee" - energetic, restless, and forever on the go. His active mind is always buzzing with ideas and James finds it difficult sometimes to relax, slow down, or take time to reflect and replenish himself. James Joyce tends to live on nervous energy. He can accomplish much in short bursts but projects that require long-term commitment, stamina, and steady, persistent effort are not easy for Joyce. James Joyce often scatters his energies into so many directions and activities at once that he cannot finish or follow through on some of them. He needs variety, change, and mental challenges.

James Joyce has a sharp and eager mind, and he enjoys games and competitions that have a mental component. James likes to match wits with someone else.

Joyce often achieves his desires by his verbal skill, his ability to speak clearly, vigorously, and convincingly for what he wants. His drive and energy is more mental than physical. James Joyce uses his wit, intelligence, communication skills, social sophistication, and awareness to achieve his goals.

James Joyce expects to work hard for anything he accomplishes and he has no patience for people who do not pull their own weight. Work is a passion for James at times, and he pushes himself too hard. Joyce can also be too demanding of the people he works with.

If his energy is not invested in a job or career, James Joyce can become fanatic about his health, and may exercise or "work out" vigorously and perhaps excessively.

Joyce may not feel like he has to work very hard or strive to achieve, either because he comes from a very comfortable background, or because inner contentment and satisfaction are more important to him than outward accomplishment. James Joyce could be quite successful in real estate, agriculture, or anything involving land.

He is attracted to careers which are somewhat unusual, creative, or avant-garde, and which offer James Joyce a maximum amount of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not his cup of tea. James may make his living in diversified ways rather than focusing on one specific area or talent, and he is happiest when he can create a place in the world for his unique combination of different talents and interests. It is hard and unnatural for James Joyce to try to fit himself into a ready-made mold.

He is very ambitious, diligent and industrious and seems to be blessed with a good dose of luck. James Joyce tends to succeed with his objectives on a big scale and can expect advantages, advancements and promotions in his occupation.

James Joyce tends to have a very deep soul-life and a great need for deep spiritual understanding and truth. James has the ability to open himself up to the spiritual dimensions and what he may learn could prove to be of permanent value to him.
