Marc Platt motivation
Behind Platt's proud and magnanimous demeanor (as described on the previous page) lies a real go-getter. Others feel that he is rather narcissistic. Marc Platt should strive to always be aware of others' needs and concerns to prove this criticism wrong!
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. Marc Platt 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 Platt's gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.
Marc Platt 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. Marc likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.
Marc Platt 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, Marc Platt also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for Platt, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.
He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Marc Platt believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and he perceives himself as a strong, even invincible, person. Marc Platt 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 Platt's relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes Marc Platt to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his goals through anger or temper tantrums. Marc Platt would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however his energetic, restless nature rarely allows Marc Platt to do so.
His career, reputation and public image are very important to Platt. Marc Platt has a strong desire to be influential or make his mark on the world. He is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; his ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for his unique effort and gifts. Marc Platt may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.
Marc Platt 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 Marc does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Platt, as are his personal appearance and attractiveness.
His conscious intentions and goals are frequently opposed by his unconscious beliefs and desires. If Marc Platt overrides his instincts and emotions because they seem to lead him in a direction diametrically opposed to the one he consciously desires, his emotions can become unruly. Poor relationships with women and/or difficulties in close one-on-one relationships are also a reflection of this tendency. However, if Marc Platt attends to his emotional urges and feelings and listens to the voice of his intuition, dreams and gut feelings, he will derive greater satisfaction from a more balanced life.
Platt occasionally gambles, splurges or overextends himself in ways that may be at odds with his usual way of doing things. Exaggerating his accomplishments or spending too much in order to impress others and build up his own self-esteem can be a problem. However, Marc Platt also has faith and an optimistic side, which enable him to recover from the negative consequences of his excesses, and to learn from them.
Marc Platt deeply believes in his own power and his ability to survive any change and emerge victorious from any difficulty. Marc has tremendous inner resources and strength. Intense, strong willed, and zealous, he pursues his desires and goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, and he may be somewhat compulsive and even fanatical at times. Marc likes to live intensely and has no respect for people who are weak or avoid confronting life and their own destiny.
Appearing successful and attractive to the public is important to him. Marc Platt probably enjoys wearing stylish clothes and modern jewelry. He tends to seek admiration from others and social acceptance is necessary to Marc's well-being.
