Karl Abraham
motivation

Though he may appear unconventional and liberal in this thinking (as mentioned in the previous chapter), he also has a rather conservative, grounded, practical nature, as described below. He may feel torn at times between maintaining the status quo, versus creating controversy and making waves.

His practical nature gives Karl Abraham the capacity to be very successful in business. Sometimes, however, Abraham holds to his own views too obstinately and dogmatically, causing him to limit his possibilities and overlook opportunities.

He is a steadfast and patient soul, capable of tremendous devotion, dedication, endurance and constancy. The ability to follow through and stick with things is one of his greatest assets. Once Abraham's course is set, he pursues it tenaciously until it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway him from his purpose.

Karl Abraham has a very practical nature; he wants to see concrete, tangible results for his efforts, and he is not one to concoct wild dreams that are unlikely to come into fruition. Most of his "wild dreams" have to do with material achievements, well-being and security, for he has a great love of the physical world and he wants to experience and enjoy it to the full. Though Karl Abraham will work long and persistently, he also has a strong sensual and comfort-loving side, and he wants to enjoy what he has worked for. In fact, Abraham can be enormously lazy at times and has a tendency to overindulge in good food and other earthly pleasures. Karl Abraham also loves the beauty of the natural world and he probably prefers a serene country setting to an urban life style.

Basically, his needs are simple and he is easy to please. Karl Abraham has a strong desire for security, stability and peace, and will rarely make changes unless he is forced to do so. He is not very demanding emotionally, though he does crave a great deal of physical closeness and affection. Because of his faithfulness, emotional steadfastness and gentle strength, others often depend upon Abraham for support. Though he hates upheaval and sudden changes, Karl Abraham usually maintains his poise and equanimity. Karl Abraham also has an innate sense of harmony with nature, allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time and the patience to nurture something into being - be it a garden, a child, or a creative project. He makes an excellent parent, especially if he follows his instincts more often than "the experts".

Karl has three major faults: one is his bullheaded obstinacy. The second is his unwillingness to deviate from his safe, predictable routine. And the third is Abraham's tendency to always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative, speculative, and fanciful - in other words, Karl Abraham lacks the ability to play with ideas and possibilities, and to open his mind to new horizons.

Ownership gives Karl Abraham a sense of security, and he has a strong attachment to his possessions. Karl also has a natural instinct for or understanding of economics, finance, trade, and appraising the value of merchandise.

Karl Abraham is loving and well loved by others, and has a strong need for relationships that offer kindness, friendship and affection. His artistic and creative powers are also well developed and Karl does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Abraham, as are his personal appearance and attractiveness.

Karl Abraham feels that he has the support of his family or others in his environment for his creative efforts and personal goals, which enables him to act with confidence. He is able to satisfy both his need to be an individual and his need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. He is in harmony with himself and is therefore an effective individual.

Although Karl Abraham prefers harmony and accord, he also has a confrontational side.

He is direct, energetic, sometimes aggressive and combative. Karl Abraham often feels that he needs to fight to get what he wants, and he tends to have a "me-first" attitude that angers or irritates others. He is hasty, restless, impatient and sometimes reckless.

Karl Abraham has a restless and somewhat nervous manner and he attracts attention through his initiative and originality. He is drawn to unusual friends and acquaintances, and because of his confidence may be regarded as a leader in his sphere.
