John Patrick Daly
drive and ambition

Once John Patrick Daly sets his mind on a goal, his dedication, determination, and commitment are extraordinary. Daly pursues his ambitions tenaciously and will stubbornly refuse to give up, let go, or be influenced in any way. Like Aesop's tortoise, John labors patiently and steadfastly until he achieves what he wants - or until it is clear beyond a shadow of a doubt that all is lost. He is a reliable, consistent and productive worker, and he often shoulders more of the workload than his co-workers, usually without complaint. He often ends up with the nitty-gritty work. He prefers a regular routine, with definite hours and clearly defined responsibilities and tasks. In fact, establishing a pattern or routine is very important to his success because once he gets started in a certain direction, it is easy for John Patrick Daly to kept to that path. Getting started is more difficult. John Patrick Daly has a lazy, comfort-loving side and there is often a good deal of inertia for him to overcome before Daly gets going; but once he gets a momentum going, his energy level is strong and steady.

He is interested in concrete results and solid, practical achievements. John Patrick Daly needs to have some tangible product or contribution to show for his efforts, and cannot be content with only intangible rewards (such as having a good time, learning, or spiritual enrichment). Material well-being and security is also a large factor in determining what he does. John's stamina and persistence are his greatest assets, but they can also work against him; he can get caught in a rut and refuse to seize new opportunities. John Patrick Daly also tends to play it safe, and to limit himself as a result.

Quick-witted and sharp-tongued, John Patrick Daly enjoys arguing, debating, and contesting other people's opinions. He is quite forthright and sometimes tactless. Daly can be very convincing about his point of view, but he is prone to a "hard-sell" approach that sometimes backfires. Challenging mental work is an apt venue for John's aggressive intellect.

He is very sensitive to the inner qualities of sincerity, honesty, integrity and good will. John Patrick Daly notices these qualities (or the lack thereof) more quickly than others and brings them up frequently. He is philosophical about life and very perceptive, but may have an exaggerated sense of his own wisdom and depth of understanding of religious, metaphysical, artistic, or intuitive subjects.

He is highly attuned to the intangible or unseen world. Thus, John's drive and ambitions in life are likely to be colored by his subtle awareness and his mystical or intuitive sensitivity. Imagination, "make believe", creative fantasy and the ability to visualize may also be aspects of his career. John Patrick Daly has the ability to "channel" healing or inspirational messages.

He may have to overcome something in his background or personal past in order to achieve his long-range goals and ambitions. Sometimes John Patrick Daly may feel pulled in two different directions - what others expect of him or what he needs to do in order to progress versus what his old conditioning or his emotional predisposition would have him do. Overcoming the pull of the past is the key.

He is attracted to careers, which are somewhat unusual, creative, or avant-garde, and offer John Patrick Daly a maximum amount of freedom and independence. The nine-to-five routine is really not his cup of tea. John may make his living in diversified ways rather than by focusing on one specific area or talent, and he is happiest when he can create a place in the world for his unique combination of diverse talents and interests. John Patrick Daly finds it hard and unnatural to try to fit himself into a ready-made mold.

John has an aptitude for detective or research work, or any field that involves digging beneath the surface for the hidden elements. An interest in psychology, hypnosis and subconscious forces or subliminal messages may well be a key factor in his career.

Whatever his choice of profession, John Patrick Daly is apt to feel a sense of inner mission about it and may pursue it with great zeal and intensity.

John Patrick Daly has a tendency to say things that may unintentionally put off those in a position to advance his career and professional ambitions. Perhaps it is not what John says, but the manner in which he says it or the timing. At times John Patrick Daly is apt to feel that he must stifle certain thoughts and opinions in order to succeed in reaching his goals. Mostly, however, Daly will need to be shrewd, tactical and conscious of how his words will affect his listeners.
