Joseph Fiennes
motivation

Behind Fiennes' rather rambunctious, sporty, exuberant demeanor (described in the previous chapter), he is also quick-witted, intelligent and in need of mental stimulation as much as physical freedom.

Joseph Fiennes is, in many ways, an eternal child. His mind is bright, alert, curious, flexible, playful and always eager for new experiences - and his attention span is often quite brief. Fiennes grasps ideas quickly and once his initial curiosity has been satisfied, he is ready to move on. Joseph Fiennes craves frequent change and variety, as well as new situations and people.

It may be hard for Joseph Fiennes to decide just where his talents and true vocation lie, for he has a multitude of interests and is loathe limiting himself by concentrating on just one. He is easily distracted by all of the other fascinating possibilities. His curiosity and restlessness propel Joseph toward many different experiences in life, and he is willing to taste or try anything once. Doing the same thing over and over again, even if it is something he does well, is tantamount to drudgery for Fiennes.

Joseph Fiennes lives in his head a great deal - reading, observing, thinking, spinning ideas around - and he needs mental stimulation every bit as much as he needs food and drink. In fact, if Joseph had to choose between a good book or movie and a good lunch, he would very likely choose the former. Joseph Fiennes has a creative mind and he often lives by his wits.

He is also a very social creature, with a strong need to communicate and interact with people. He enjoys using and playing with words and has a real flair for getting his ideas across in a clever, interesting, articulate manner. Writing and/or speaking are areas he has talent for.

Joseph Fiennes also has a rather lighthearted and mischievous sense of humor, and often does not take anything too seriously. Though he craves emotional involvement, it is hard for Joseph Fiennes to achieve it, for he is frequently unwilling to commit himself to anything, to take responsibility or to limit his personal freedom and mobility.

His happiness lies in using his creativity and language skills to communicate something meaningful, teach, inspire, or bring people together. Joseph has an unbiased mind and can usually offer a fresh, clear, uncluttered perspective. His faults are his lack of constancy and persistence, and his tendency to overlook or ignore deep emotional issues and other people's feelings.

Joseph Fiennes has a very dramatic, creative, expressive nature and he loves to perform. Joseph enjoys being the center of attention and he seeks to shine, to excel, and to be outstanding in some unique way. He is very involved in his own creativity and self-expression, and takes great pleasure in developing and using his special talents be they artistic, athletic or intellectual. Joseph Fiennes has a strong sense of pride.

Joseph Fiennes often feels that he is at cross purposes with himself, for his conscious intentions and desires conflict with his subconscious emotional needs and drives. He is torn in two different directions. Joseph has difficulty satisfying both his need to be an individual and his need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Joseph sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to him or what Joseph really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.

The unusual and unorthodox appeal to Fiennes, and he does not allow tradition, convention or other people's expectations to dictate how he is going to live his life. Joseph Fiennes craves freedom, adventure, excitement and discovery, and is not afraid of change. Joseph Fiennes possesses inventive and creative genius.

Joseph Fiennes tends to think and act bravely and has a positive and firm demeanor. Joseph has what it takes to make his own way in life. He may be a bit excitable, but never shy away from a good argument.

Fiennes alternates between aggression and apathy and sometimes feels that he is unable to meet all the demands made on him. Once Joseph Fiennes becomes aware of what he needs to do, however, he is capable of working long and hard, not giving up until his work is done.
