Lance Armstrong
motivation

Although Lance Armstrong approaches life instinctively and intuitively (as described on the previous page), he also has a very analytical, rational, unemotional side as well, as discussed below. He may at times feel conflicting urges: to live passionately and dangerously, or to be conservative and play it safe.

At heart Lance Armstrong is modest and humble, and he rarely strives to be in the limelight or in a position of power. Lance Armstrong has a sharp analytical mind, a keen eye for detail, and he prefers to observe, dissect, and study life from a distance. Conscientious and conservative, Armstrong can be relied upon to be careful, efficient, and thorough in his work and he takes pride in doing a job well. What he may lack in self-confidence Lance Armstrong often makes up for in skill - developing expertise, technical knowledge, and competency in some specialized area. He is adept at using his hands to create or fix things, and meticulous attention to detail and careful craftsmanship are his forte. Some would say he is a little too meticulous, for Armstrong can be extremely critical and petty if everything is not done exactly as he thinks it should be, and he worries about things that other people consider trivial and unimportant. Lance Armstrong likes to organize, categorize, and arrange everything into a logical system, and he is often distinctly uncomfortable when something does not fit into a neat category. Disorganization vexes Armstrong. He probably wishes that he were not such a perfectionist, for besides being a stickler for details, Armstrong can be mercilessly self-critical as well. Whether in his environment or within himself, Armstrong tends to focus on the flaws, with a desire to improve, refine, and perfect. He is strictly factual, truthful, and scrupulously honest in his self-estimation, and he often does not give himself enough praise or credit.

He is also highly discriminating and may be especially particular about his diet, hygiene, and health habits. Lance has high aesthetic standards and refined sensitivities, and will be bothered by elements in his surroundings (such as disorder, cigarette smoke, etc.) that others overlook. His tastes are simple, understated, but refined. Coarseness, bluntness, and vulgarity really offend him. Armstrong can be difficult to live with sometimes because of his fastidiousness, his sensitivity, and his idiosyncrasies about food and cleanliness.

Though Lance Armstrong seems rather cool and self-contained, he has a very helpful nature and he enjoys serving others. He is content to be in a supportive, assisting role rather than in the lead. He is quietly devoted to the ones he cares for.

He is careful and cautious in his approach to life, realistic, practical, and disinclined to gamble. Lance Armstrong analyzes before he acts. He is too serious sometimes. Allowing himself to play and to make mistakes would be of great health for Armstrong!

His career, reputation, and public image are very important to Armstrong. Lance Armstrong has a strong desire to be influential or make his mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy him; his ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for his unique effort and gifts. Lance Armstrong may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

Lance Armstrong 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 Lance does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Armstrong, as well as his personal appearance and attractiveness.

Inwardly he is zealous and fanatical, though he may hide his personal desires and intentions, and the intensity of his feelings. He is driven by a deep inner sense of destiny and mission and an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition. Lance has an infatuation with power and is incredibly willful and stubbornly fixated on achieving greatness or being someone Special. Lance Armstrong tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma, and he often seeks to emulate them. Lance has potential for tremendous good or tremendous evil.

He may be a bit high-strung and over-zealous in the pursuit of his endeavors. Armstrong always seems to be in a hurry and has the ability to evaluate situations quickly. Lance Armstrong has a brilliant mind and possibly could invent something.
