Jim Morrison
motivation

His appearance and the way Jim Morrison comes across to others (as described on the previous page) is very congruent with his true nature (described below). He is very idealistic, and a great lover of space and freedom.

He is a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to discover and explore new worlds, and to take the untried path rather than the safe, reliable one. He is an independent soul, freedom-loving, and often very restless. He needs a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement, change, and meeting new people. A steady routine which offers much in the way of security but little in the way of space and freedom is odious to him.

To Jim Morrison, life is a journey, an adventure, endlessly interesting and rich with possibilities, and it may be difficult for him to decide where to focus his attention and efforts. Jim Morrison probably traveled around and experimented with many different paths before he settled on a particular career. Or he may go from one project to the next, for once the challenge and vital interest is gone, he is very quick to move on. Commitment, discipline, focus, and concentration are not his strong points. Morrison can be irresponsible and disinclined to take on the burdens and limitations of adult life.

An incurable optimist, he has big dreams, aspirations, and hopes for the future and is usually pursuing some distant goal. Jim Morrison has a great deal of faith and trust in life and failures do not crush his spirit. Morrison always bounces back from disappointments, often with another bright dream or scheme. Jim Morrison has a sporting, playful attitude toward life and he is philosophical about his mistakes. Jim has the ability to sense future trends, to see the big picture, and he likes to theorize and speculate. However, attending to all of the details and practical requirements of implementing his theories is bothersome to him.

Morrison expresses himself in a very open, direct, and straightforward manner and is often blunt and tactless as well. Because he does not take himself too seriously, he may not realize how deeply his candid statements can wound more sensitive souls. In fact, though he may not realize it, Jim's insensitivity and lack of understanding regarding others' feelings is probably one of his worst faults.

Jim Morrison does enjoy being in close relationships, but he needs freedom also and he does not do well with a possessive, clinging, or emotionally demanding partner. He is quite generous, and heartily dislikes pettiness in others. Someone who shares his ideals, his sense of fun, and his zest for life would be the right companion for Morrison.

His career, reputation, and public image are very important to Morrison. Jim Morrison has a strong desire to be influential or make his mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy him; his ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for his unique effort and gifts. Jim Morrison may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

Highly competitive and easily provoked, Jim Morrison needs challenges and opponents to pit himself against. Jim thrives on contests and rivalry. At times his vigorous, combative way of achieving the things he wants antagonizes other people. If Jim Morrison uses force too often, others will turn against him and will oppose him at every turn.

Morrison tends to be in a constant state of tension and seems to look for avenues to test his strength. Jim Morrison uses all the energy at his disposal in order to succeed. Somewhat rebellious and inflexible, Jim fights any opposition or resistance he meets.
