Lance Reventlow
motivation

Behind Reventlow's rather lighthearted, witty and restless demeanor described in the previous chapter, lies a sensitive, poetic soul. Lance Reventlow may cover up his sensitivity with light banter and cleverness - or he may use his verbal and communication skills to express his imagination, kindness and refined sensitivity.

At heart he is very gentle, impressionable and receptive - a dreamer. The world of his imagination, feelings, and intuition is as real to Lance Reventlow as anything in the outer world, though he may have trouble verbalizing or interpreting his inner experiences in a way others can understand. Mystical, artistic, musical, emotional and imaginative, he has a rich inner life, though Reventlow may seem rather unobtrusive and quiet outwardly. Lance Reventlow usually keeps to himself.

Lance shows great sensitivity and empathy toward others and often senses things psychically or intuitively which prove to be correct. He is tolerant, forgiving and nonjudgmental, accepting people unconditionally regardless of their flaws, mistakes, or outward appearance. Lance has deep compassion for the suffering of any fellow creature and he often feels the pain of others as if it were his own. Lance Reventlow sympathizes with the needy, the disadvantaged and the misfits of society. He is capable of giving selflessly, living a life of devoted and compassionate service to others, as a healer, physician, social worker or minister. However, Reventlow tends to give indiscriminately, to let others take advantage of his kindness, and to encourage the weak to remain so by becoming dependent upon him. Lance has little sense of boundaries, or of knowing when to say "no". Moderation and self-discipline are not his strong points.

He is a lover and a peacemaker rather than a fighter, and he tries to avoid open conflict. Reventlow will patiently ignore or "tune out" problems and hope they will go away by themselves, rather than confront them directly and Reventlow tends to lack the positive, fighting spirit that is sometimes necessary to overcome challenges. He is fluid, open, nonresistant and somewhat passive. Lance Reventlow does things in a subtle, often covert, manner.

His gifts may also lie in the realm of the creative, artistic, or musical, for he possesses great sensitivity, inspiration and limitless imagination. Lance Reventlow has a strong affinity for beauty and love.

His faults include a tendency to be lazy and negligent, and to wallow in self-pity rather than take strong, definite action to change his life for the better. He also tends to become so detached from his immediate environment that he lives in a disorderly, chaotic sort of hodgepodge, though this probably bothers those around Reventlow more than it bothers him.

Leading groups and classes and being involved in community efforts, social activities, events or movements are areas where Lance Reventlow really shines and expresses his creativity. An awareness of politics or the larger social impact of individual actions comes naturally to him.

He is an original! Lance Reventlow radiates a sort of electrical excitement about the things he is interested in, and conveys this to others, but he also gets bored rather quickly. Lance does not mind being a bit unusual or breaking a few rules either.

Lance Reventlow tends to think and act bravely and has a positive and firm demeanor. Lance 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.

Lance Reventlow has a strong will and the desire to be successful no matter what obstacles or resistance he has to overcome. Whatever he does, he knows what he wants to get out of it and drives toward that end with great vigor.
