Majel Barrett
motivation

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

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

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

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

Her gifts may also lie in the realm of the creative, artistic, or musical, for she possesses great sensitivity, inspiration and limitless imagination. Majel Barrett has a strong affinity for beauty and love.

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

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

Majel Barrett tends to see things from her perspective only and to be rather subjective. She also enjoys talking and expressing her views but does not always listen as well. Majel Barrett has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and she needs constant mental stimulation and activity.
