Margaret O'Brien
drive and ambition

Margaret O'Brien is extremely strong-willed and she pursues her goals and desires with passionate dedication and determination. She is capable of total concentration and tremendous discipline, and she is very difficult to influence or sway once her mind is made up. When Margaret O'Brien wants something, O'Brien can be very one-sided and almost obsessed with it. She is very instinctive and does not always consciously know why she feels as strongly and deeply as she does.

She also tends to be secretive and unwilling to reveal her aims and intentions, and the intensity of her will and desire may not initially be apparent to others. However, O'Brien is very forceful in a quiet and subtle way. Margaret O'Brien often manipulates or forces her will upon other people, without being overtly aggressive. She is not interested in confrontation but she is a formidable foe if she encounters opposition or aggression. Margaret is courageous and has a rather primitive, raw side as well.

Margaret O'Brien expects to work hard for anything she accomplishes and she has no patience for people who do not pull their own weight. Work is a passion for Margaret at times, and she pushes herself too hard. O'Brien can also be too demanding of the people she works with.

If her energy is not invested in a job or career, Margaret O'Brien can become fanatic about her health, and may exercise or "work out" vigorously and perhaps excessively.

Margaret O'Brien seeks out risky and even dangerous activities, primarily for the excitement they provide. Impulsive, daring, impatient and unconventional, Margaret O'Brien cannot sit still for very long and she has no capacity for "doing things as they have always been done". She is a defiant and independent person who can go it alone if need be. O'Brien can be extremely bossy and pushy and is prone to sudden, erratic outbursts, especially when she has to wait for what she wants. Courage and a taste for the unorthodox or outrageous are O'Brien's strengths.

Others may find Margaret O'Brien a bit strange and conditions in her immediate surroundings may not be as harmonious as O'Brien would like them to be. Not very assertive about protecting her interests, she could attract people who will take advantage of her.

Positions of honor, affluence, influence, and stature in her community can be hers. Margaret O'Brien feels she has a destiny which involves leadership or distinguishing herself in some line of endeavor. Margaret possesses an innate sense of greatness or importance, and a strong drive to achieve recognition for her talent. Margaret O'Brien should avoid excessive egotism and arrogant pride, for these could limit her opportunities.

Language, words, communication, networking, clarity of speech or writing, being a messenger or go-between - these are key features in her career, as well as how Margaret O'Brien goes about achieving her goals and ambitions. "Work smarter, not harder" is O'Brien's motto.

Deep, compelling drives which Margaret O'Brien does not entirely understand are apt to be the source of her rather extraordinary ambitions. She may find that a drive for dominance, power, and control arises out of the rather problematic and intense relationships Margaret had with one or both of her parents. If Margaret O'Brien is willing to delve deeply into her own fears and inner life, clearing away much of the conditioning of her earliest years, she will indeed discover tremendous inner resources which can be used to fuel her rise in the world.

Margaret has confidence in herself and a healthy self-assured attitude. She makes up her own mind and has a clear idea of where she is headed. Margaret O'Brien does not feel the need for recognition from others, but is likely to receive recognition anyway.
