Lionel Richie approach to life and appearances
The following is a description of Lionel's basic stance toward life, the way others see him, the way Lionel Richie comes across, the face he shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Lionel Richie - his real motivation, which describes the kind of person he is at heart and where his true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Lionel Richie" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Lionel a little better. This page describes the disguise Richie wears, his role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.
He is a natural diplomat, reasonable, tolerant, fair, always willing to listen to varying viewpoints, and prepared to see the other side of an issue. Even if he strongly disagrees with someone, Lionel Richie will try to find points of similarity and agreement rather than emphasizing the differences. He often avoids taking an extreme or one-sided stance on anything. Lionel has a strong desire for harmonious and pleasant relationships, and revels in a spirit of cooperation, compromise, friendship, and fairness. Lionel Richie very much wants to be liked and because of his need for approval and acceptance, Richie is easily influenced by others' opinions, especially those expressed by the young. He so much wants to please that often Lionel Richie will suppress his own intense or unpleasant feelings in order to avoid offending others. Sometimes Richie's politeness is interpreted as being phony or wishy-washy.
His need to create harmony extends to his physical environment and personal appearance as well. Lionel Richie appreciates beauty and has a natural sense of balance, symmetry, and proportion. He does everything in good taste, with a sense of style and art. From his home furnishings to his choice of clothing, everything must be aesthetically appealing, not simply functional or utilitarian.
He also feels that relationships are a form of art - one that Richie is especially interested in and usually quite skilled at, for Lionel possesses tact and acute awareness of other people. Marriage is very significant to him and finding the right person to share his life with is extremely important. Being part of a close relationship seems natural to Lionel Richie - he is not an independent loner. Having a partner increases his self-confidence. Lionel Richie does have a tendency, however, to become overly dependent on his partner and perhaps not to develop a clearly defined identity outside of the relationship. Finding the balance between being himself and blending and uniting with another is a challenge for Lionel.
Others see Lionel Richie as an agreeable, smooth, harmonious, and "nice" person. Though there may be much more to him, this is the sort of face Richie shows to the world. He possesses personal charm and an understated, non-combative manner. His motto could be "one catches more flies with honey than with vinegar" for Lionel Richie usually adopts a friendly, cooperative approach rather than a strong, forceful, I'm-going-to-conquer-the-world attitude.
Despite the fact that his core self is quite distinct from the face the world generally sees, Lionel Richie has a strong desire to be seen and recognized, to be acknowledged, and to have a significant impact on people in his environment. He may do remarkable things in order to be noticed. However, Lionel Richie often does not get the full recognition he yearns for.
Lionel Richie comes across as quirky, unusual, offbeat and "different". Sometimes he appears to provoke people and upset the status quo just by being himself. Richie tends to be restless, excitable and somewhat ungrounded or nervous as well.
Lionel Richie comes across as tolerant, broad-minded, and well educated or as a seasoned traveler. He radiates a certain distinction, even nobility. Richie is apt to have a significant, beneficial impact on the people he encounters, without even realizing it.
