Jerry Brown
motivation

Behind Brown's proud and magnanimous demeanor (as described on the previous page) lies a real go-getter. Others feel that he is rather narcissistic. Jerry Brown 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. Jerry Brown 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 Brown's gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Jerry Brown 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. Jerry likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

Jerry Brown 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, Jerry Brown also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for Brown, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.

He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Jerry Brown believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and he perceives himself as a strong, even invincible, person. Jerry Brown 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 Brown's relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes Jerry Brown to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his goals through anger or temper tantrums. Jerry Brown would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however his energetic, restless nature rarely allows Jerry Brown to do so.

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

Jerry Brown 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.

Jerry Brown often feels that he is at cross purposes with himself, for his conscious intentions and desires conflict with his subconscious emotional needs and drives. He is torn in two different directions. Jerry has difficulty satisfying both his need to be an individual and his need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Jerry sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to him or what Jerry really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.

Jerry Brown tends to be very impressionable and psychically open, and as a youngster, he may have been dominated in relationships with more forceful personalities. Afraid of confrontation, Brown may have become passive, identified himself as a helpless victim, or tried to achieve his desires in underhanded ways.

Jerry's hypersensitivity to his environment is likely to be a challenge for him in other ways as well. Pollutants, ugliness or dissonance in any form may affect Jerry Brown more than most people.

His courage to face life seems to be a bit on the low side and Jerry Brown is prone to worry a lot. Fear of his own inadequacies could distort his perspective and deplete his strength to go on in the direction he has chosen.
