Mark Davis
motivation

Although Mark Davis appears quite pleasant, agreeable and prepared to compromise for the sake of harmony (as described on the previous page), he also has a strong need to shine and express his own opinions. Mark has the potential to be a great leader, manager, coach or teacher.

Proud and intensely individual, Mark Davis really wants to stand out, to be the very best he can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for his unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to him, and he cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Mark Davis must put his personal stamp on whatever he does, and direct his own course in life. Mark Davis needs to have a place where he can shine, express himself creatively, and be the one in charge.

Mark has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. Mark Davis also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.

For Mark Davis, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and he secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Mark wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. He needs someone to believe in him and his dreams. Though Davis appears radiantly self-confident and independent, he is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. He cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

Mark Davis also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person he loves feel special. Mark Davis loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in his relationships. He is also immensely loyal and will defend his loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend his pride or betray his trust. However, Mark Davis likes to be the strong one in his relationships and he really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Mark needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as he is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with him.

Davis' strengths are his zest and love for life, his creative power and his warm and generous heart. His primary fault is his tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression he is making and with his own creative self-expression that he forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around him.

His career, reputation and public image are very important to Davis. Mark Davis 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. Mark Davis may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

Mark Davis feels that he has the support of his family or others in his environment for his creative efforts and personal goals, which enables him to act with confidence. He is able to satisfy both his need to be an individual and his need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. He is in harmony with himself and is therefore an effective individual.

Mark has to overcome considerable hardship in order to fulfill his personal destiny. However, he has the strength and stamina necessary to do so. Support and helpful guidance from his father or other significant men in his life may well be lacking. In fact, their disapproval of Mark and their harsh criticism are apt to be two of his greatest handicaps, and at times he may feel quite discouraged and alone. But true self-reliance and a solid sense of his own powers may well be the silver lining to that cloud in his life. Mark Davis needs to learn to follow his own creative impulses and heart's desires, regardless of what his critics or the authorities may say.

While he is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Mark Davis also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.

Mark is extremely sensitive and imaginative, and he can get lost in his dreams, fantasies and visions. He is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, as well as to the world of color, beauty, and emotion. Mark Davis is also drawn to mysticism and he has deep spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace loving, Davis may lack the will and competitive spirit needed to make his way in the world. He is often impractical and may seek to avoid or escape the harsh realities of life.

Mark Davis has a harmonious balance between his body, soul and spirit. He enjoys intellectual challenges from others, but tends to form his own mental attitudes and philosophies of life. He may be interested in studying human nature and matters of health.
