Joseph Fiennes
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Joseph's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Joseph Fiennes comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Joseph Fiennes - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Joseph Fiennes" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Joseph a little better. This page describes the disguise Fiennes wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

High-spirited, enthusiastic, and exuberant, Joseph loves adventure, change and exploring new territory. He is not happy with being confined to the same safe, familiar, secure little world all the time. Joseph Fiennes has a strong sense of restlessness and yearning for something greater than anything he has yet experienced, and he often lives in his dreams and visions for the future. Joseph Fiennes tends to believe that the grass is greener somewhere else, and he likes to keep moving, either literally or figuratively. Idealistic and optimistic, he always expects something better ahead. Joseph Fiennes loves to have a goal, something to aim for, but once he achieves it he is on to something else. He is ever on the lookout for new opportunities and he is a gambler, willing to take risks and to break new ground. The possibility of discovering something new is what makes life interesting for him. Joseph Fiennes has great faith in life and he bounces back quickly from disappointment and failure.

Freedom loving and independent, Joseph Fiennes cannot tolerate being caged in for very long, and friends and loved ones must respect his need for freedom of movement. Binding commitments, responsibilities and relationships often weigh heavily upon Joseph and he may resist "growing up" and assuming the limitations of adult life.

He is friendly and outgoing and has a great sense of fun and playfulness. He is also philosophically minded and often quite outspoken about his convictions and beliefs. Sometimes Joseph Fiennes gets carried away with his enthusiasm of the moment and he tends to exaggerate. He is often a big talker, a big maker of promises, and he is usually pretty convincing. He does everything in a big way, a generous way. Fiennes likes to have the best, and he heartily dislikes stinginess, small mindedness or pettiness. His vision is always large. He is able to perceive the big picture, general patterns and principles, and he is well suited to politics, business, higher education or religion.

Others see Joseph Fiennes as a good sport and a good friend, but one who is not always consistent and dependable. He may also be seen as a wise person since he does not get bogged down in pettiness and trivialities, and is able to communicate a broader perspective that opens up new horizons. He is a person who believes in miracles, grace, or just plain good luck, someone who never gives up on life, and he inspires and encourages others to keep looking ahead.

He may be perceived as someone who provokes conflict because Joseph Fiennes likes to get everything out into the open and generally does not avoid disagreeable issues. His relationships with others may be marked by a great deal of competition, anger or friction as a result. Or, Fiennes may seem to run into more than his share of inconsiderate, pushy people. Learning to harness his energies into joint efforts and shared endeavor is Fiennes' challenge.

There is an intense and somewhat secretive or guarded quality about Joseph Fiennes which may make people around him distinctly uncomfortable. They may feel that Joseph is constantly monitoring their inner motives, and he probably is. Fiennes sees through anything phony, any false pretense - and he may or may not be above using others' Achilles' heels (which he perceives so clearly) against them. At times, however, Joseph Fiennes may be too suspicious and assign negative intentions to innocent people. Joseph should avoid always looking on the dark side.

Fiennes projects a feeling of broad-mindedness, generosity, and beneficence, a sense that he is someone others should listen to and treat with respect. Because Joseph Fiennes generally makes such a favorable impression on people, many doors are open to him, and he may appear to be somewhat luckier than other people. This is primarily due to the confidence that Joseph Fiennes emanates.
