Joseph Smith
drive and ambition

He is serious about his ambitions, as well as disciplined, dedicated, and tenacious in pursuing his objectives. His drive and energy are directed toward practical material accomplishments and concrete results. Joseph Smith also strives to be in a position of authority and social influence; he enjoys being in command.

Joseph Smith is hard-working and capable of foregoing immediate comfort in order to achieve his long-range goals. Smith can easily become a workaholic and is very responsible and conscientious about doing a thorough job.

Realistic and pragmatic, he is an excellent strategist. Joseph Smith achieves success by formulating a conservative and workable plan and seeing it through. He is not a gambler when it comes to attaining his goals; Smith depends on his own efforts and perseverance rather than good fortune. Joseph Smith has a natural shrewdness and instinct for business or organizational management.

Joseph Smith expects to work hard for anything he accomplishes and he has no patience for people who do not pull their own weight. Work is a passion for Joseph at times, and he pushes himself too hard. Smith can also be too demanding of the people he works with.

If his energy is not invested in a job or career, Joseph Smith can become fanatic about his health, and may exercise or "work out" vigorously and perhaps excessively.

When Joseph Smith wants something, he can be amazingly persistent and unrelenting, even a bit obsessed, although quiet about it. In fact Joseph may hide his deep purposes and intentions even from friends. Whenever he does a thing, it is done wholeheartedly and thoroughly - and if Joseph Smith does not want to do something that others wish him to do, somehow he will find a way out of it. Smith is strong, though subtle.

He is willing to fight his own battles and does not depend on others for support and encouragement. Joseph Smith has a tendency to think somewhat critically though, which could lead to arguments and quarrels.

He is optimistic, generous and enterprising, and has an enthusiastic outlook. Joseph Smith has a strong desire to make something of him and is likely to be successful. Almost any initiative that Smith takes will probably work out as he wants it to.

Eccentric, individualistic and very excitable, Joseph Smith can create a stir wherever he goes. If he is not careful, Smith could often find himself involved in quarrels or even violent assaults. To avoid trouble, it would be wise for Joseph Smith to learn to deal with others without anger.

Joseph Smith really wants to leave his mark on the world in some way, to achieve stature and recognition for his contributions, and he is not willing to take a back seat - at least not for very long. In order to achieve his aims, though, Joseph Smith will have to compromise and "give" more than he may be willing to. Thus, conflicts with others, particularly important men in his life, may arise. To accomplish his goals, Joseph may have to put aside some of his self-centeredness, and learn from these men! However, Joseph Smith may also be required at some point to make a break in order to stand on his own and fulfill his own destiny.

Joseph Smith has a spiritual gift or vocation which colors his personal ambitions and drive for achievement. Helping people or serving the Whole is part of his role in life. Music, the arts, entertainment, and/or using imagery, visualization, or imagination can be aspects of Joseph's work in the world.

His profession is apt to be related to children, women, consulting, nourishing, or to the use of his nurturing, emotional, childlike qualities in appealing to the public in some way. Joseph Smith does well in any business that involves responding to people's emotional needs and tastes.
