Joel McCrea
motivation

Many of the traits discussed in the previous chapter are emphasized again below. His intuition is usually correct, but there are also times when Joel McCrea obstinately and passionately pursues his goal when a more flexible attitude and open communication with others would benefit him greatly.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, he is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Joel McCrea is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and he only allows a special few into his inner world. Like a wary animal, he is cautious and mistrustful of those he does not know until "he sniffs them out". He is highly instinctive and intuitive. Joel McCrea usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though he may be unable to clearly articulate why he feels the way he does. His feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Joel McCrea also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and he forms very intense love bonds and attachments. He is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his relationship with someone he loves. When Joel McCrea commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Joel merges with or "marries" the person he loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for him, and often stormy and nasty. When McCrea has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Joel will most certainly never forget the hurt and he often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to him.

Whatever he does, Joel does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. McCrea can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. McCrea can also be very narrow-minded: either he is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is Joel McCrea emotionally detached and objective. He definitely has a fanatical streak. He is also immensely strong-willed and his tenacity in pursuing his objectives often borders on obsession. He is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Joel McCrea loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Joel never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Joel McCrea tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

Joel McCrea tends to get involved in the helping professions or in activities where his efforts are hidden, behind the scenes, unacknowledged or unknown to the public. McCrea may find it exceedingly uncomfortable to assert himself or get up in front of an audience.

He is imaginative and sensitive to anything colorful, beautiful or magical. He is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, music and mysticism. His spiritual values color Joel's whole perspective and approach to life. He is idealistic and perhaps impractical.
