Lanford Wilson
motivation

Wilson will notice that his description below highlights many of the same points raised in Chapter 2. Because he is so self-reliant, independent and unwilling to compromise or even cooperate with others, Lanford Wilson is likely to be self-employed or at least have a job that allows him to work at his own pace with minimal supervision.

He is a person who thrives on challenge, and he often feels that he must battle his way through life, relying on no one and nothing but his own strength, intelligence and courage. Lanford Wilson believes in being totally honest, true to himself and his own vision and convictions, even if it means standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor and authenticity are Wilson's gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Lanford Wilson craves the freedom to do things in his own way, and he works very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying out another's will is not his style. Lanford likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

Lanford Wilson loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, then he is always ready to stir things up, do something new, make changes and introduce some fresh blood. Routine and sameness are tantamount to death for him. He is not afraid of trying something that has never been done before, and even though he may sometimes be perceived as a fool, Lanford Wilson also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for Wilson, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.

He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Lanford Wilson believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and he perceives himself as a strong, even invincible, person. Lanford Wilson hates being ill or in a position of dependency. Accepting his own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for him.

He is basically aggressive in his attitudes and less adept at relating to others, picking up on subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing and harmonizing. He is often so fired up about his own projects or goals that he inadvertently runs over or ignores other people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of others' contributions, ideas and feelings would be highly instrumental in improving Wilson's relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes Lanford Wilson to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his goals through anger or temper tantrums. Lanford Wilson would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however his energetic, restless nature rarely allows Lanford Wilson to do so.

Lanford Wilson tends to get involved in the helping professions or in activities where his efforts are hidden, behind the scenes, unacknowledged or unknown to the public. Wilson may find it exceedingly uncomfortable to assert himself or get up in front of an audience.

Lanford has big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. Lanford Wilson tends to exaggerate, promise more than is feasible and misjudge by being overly optimistic. However, he never gives up on his hopes for the future. Wilson tends to be restless and discontent with the responsibilities and limitations of life.

He is intensely willful, zealous, and fanatical though Lanford often hides the intensity of his feelings and his personal motives and desires. Wilson is infatuated with power and has an almost compulsive desire for personal recognition and the desire to be "somebody". Lanford Wilson tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma and often seeks to emulate them. Lanford Wilson both fears, and is intensely fascinated with, death and the hidden, secret, dark side of life.
