John Huston
motivation

Although John Huston comes across as a very private, somewhat wary and enigmatic individual (as described on the previous page), there is another, quite different side to him: a person who really wants to be noticed, known, loved and admired.

Proud and intensely individual, John Huston really wants to stand out, to be the very best he can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for his unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to him, and he cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". John Huston must put his personal stamp on whatever he does, and direct his own course in life. John Huston needs to have a place where he can shine, express himself creatively, and be the one in charge.

John has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. John Huston also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.

For John Huston, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and he secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. John wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. He needs someone to believe in him and his dreams. Though Huston appears radiantly self-confident and independent, he is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. He cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

John Huston also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person he loves feel special. John Huston loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in his relationships. He is also immensely loyal and will defend his loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend his pride or betray his trust. However, John Huston likes to be the strong one in his relationships and he really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, John needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as he is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with him.

Huston's strengths are his zest and love for life, his creative power and his warm and generous heart. His primary fault is his tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression he is making and with his own creative self-expression that he forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around him.

His career, reputation, and public image are very important to Huston. John Huston 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. John Huston may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

He is assertive, energetic, active, courageous and vital. John Huston has a very strong physical drive that expresses itself as sexuality and passion, a desire to compete with others, and a tendency to fight. John Huston has a victorious spirit and the will to win.

While John Huston does have a strong drive, he frequently holds himself back. One of his challenges lies in learning to endure frustration and to patiently overcome the obstacles in his life (or his own internal caution and resistance!).

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

He is warm-hearted, kind, generous and very popular, especially with the opposite sex. Huston's happy feelings rub off onto others and everyone enjoys being with him. Due to a protective and encouraging upbringing, his relationships with his parents are good.
