Janet Gaynor
motivation

Although Janet Gaynor appears aloof or self-sufficient at times (as described on the previous page), she is actually very interested in people and the social aspect of life. Janet has high standards for relationships, and she may not realize that it is more difficult for others to meet these standards than for her. Gaynor believes that she merely expects a little courtesy and respect, however Janet Gaynor actually becomes upset over rather minor oversights by her partner or friend.

Harmony and balance are her keynotes. Janet Gaynor instinctively understands the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and she is always fair and willing to meet others half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Janet does all she can to avoid conflict and discord. Her spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and she often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Gaynor since she can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make her own decisions. Gaynor will rarely act without seeking the counsel and feedback of other people. She prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on her own. Being alone feels very unnatural to Janet Gaynor, and she has a strong need for a partner and intimate one-on-one relationships.

Janet Gaynor invests a great deal of her energy in personal love relationships and she is very idealistic and romantic about marriage. Janet Gaynor seeks a partner who is her equal intellectually, and who is capable of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. She makes a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and she enjoys the traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Gaynor perceives relationships like an art that requires time, attention and creative effort. Janet Gaynor appreciates a partner who is subtle and polished, never coarse or blunt.

Fairness and equality, both in her personal relationships and in the world, are extremely important to her. If Janet Gaynor fights about anything, it is often about something she feels is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to Janet. She believes in moderation in all things and avoids fanaticism and extremism at all costs.

Janet Gaynor also has a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way Gaynor dresses and furnishes her home and workspace. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. Working with people as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator, or in an artistic field such as design or photography would be fulfilling to her.

Janet Gaynor has a clear sense of her own self and she therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who she is and what she wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Gaynor can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but she competes and often clashes with other strong individuals. Janet Gaynor feels a need to be in control of her own life and she can be too self-involved, too immersed in her own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

Janet has big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. Janet Gaynor tends to exaggerate, promise more than is feasible and misjudge by being overly optimistic. However, she never gives up on her hopes for the future. Gaynor tends to be restless and discontent with the responsibilities and limitations of life.

However she also has a more somber side, which keeps Gaynor's optimism from becoming ungrounded or overblown. Janet Gaynor tends to seesaw between her faith, vision and high aspirations, and her caution and realism (or fear!). She cannot and does not rely on good luck or grace alone, and she accepts the need for hard work. Her skeptical or "somber" side is described below.

Janet has to overcome considerable hardship in order to fulfill her personal destiny. However, she has the strength and stamina necessary to do so. Support and helpful guidance from her father or other significant men in her life may well be lacking. In fact, their disapproval of Janet and their harsh criticism are apt to be two of her greatest handicaps, and at times she may feel quite discouraged and alone. But true self-reliance and a solid sense of her own powers may well be the silver lining to that cloud in her life. Janet Gaynor needs to learn to follow her own creative impulses and heart's desires, regardless of what her critics or the authorities may say.

While she is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Janet Gaynor also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.

Janet is extremely sensitive and imaginative, and she can get lost in her dreams, fantasies and visions. She is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, as well as to the world of color, beauty, and emotion. Janet Gaynor is also drawn to mysticism and she has deep spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace loving, Gaynor may lack the will and competitive spirit needed to make her way in the world. She is often impractical and may seek to avoid or escape the harsh realities of life.
