Marlo Thomas
motivation

Behind Thomas' seemingly rational, detached, cool and objective demeanor (as described on the previous page), she is really far more passionate and emotionally intense, as described below.

Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, she is not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. Marlo Thomas is extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and she only allows a special few into her inner world. Like a wary animal, she is cautious and mistrustful of those she does not know until "he sniffs them out". She is highly instinctive and intuitive. Marlo Thomas usually has a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though she may be unable to clearly articulate why she feels the way she does. Her feelings and perceptions go deeper than words.

Marlo Thomas also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and she forms very intense love bonds and attachments. She is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that she perceives as a threat to her relationship with someone she loves. When Marlo Thomas commits herself to someone or something, she is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Marlo merges with or "marries" the person she loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for her, and often stormy and nasty. When Thomas has been wounded, she is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Marlo will most certainly never forget the hurt and she often harbors grievances and resentment for a very long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to her.

Whatever she does, Marlo does with passion and fervor, and she often goes to extremes. Thomas can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Thomas can also be very narrow-minded: either she is 100% involved in something or it does not exist for her at all. Rarely is Marlo Thomas emotionally detached and objective. She definitely has a fanatical streak. She is also immensely strong-willed and her tenacity in pursuing her objectives often borders on obsession. She is filled with fierce pride, courage and emotional strength.

Marlo Thomas loves mysteries and is deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. Marlo never takes things at face value and is always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is really going on. Marlo Thomas tends to be more of a cynic than an idealist.

Her career, reputation, and public image are very important to Thomas. Marlo Thomas 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. Marlo Thomas may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

Realistic and practical, Marlo Thomas sets goals for herself that are modest enough for her to actually achieve. She is able to tackle long, difficult projects and see them through, for Thomas possesses self-discipline, concentration and perseverance. Marlo Thomas also has a strong sense of responsibility and is very conscientious about fulfilling her obligations. Thomas often does things because she feels it is expected of her.

Marlo Thomas deeply believes in her own power and her ability to survive any change and emerge victorious from any difficulty. Marlo has tremendous inner resources and strength. Intense, strong willed, and zealous, she pursues her desires and goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, and she may be somewhat compulsive and even fanatical at times. Marlo likes to live intensely and has no respect for people who are weak or avoid confronting life and their own destiny.

Her vitality is not up to par and her will-power a bit weak, making Marlo Thomas vulnerable to swindle or deceit. Her inner discontent and casual attitude could easily lead Thomas into dubious schemes. Marlo should refrain from any activity that seems to be subversive.

Thomas has a strong will and great determination and is willing to work hard to reach her goals. Marlo Thomas often takes on more than her share and labors untiringly, sparing herself no pain in her work. Marlo should guard against over-exerting herself physically.

Maintaining relationships with friends and associates is very important to Marlo Thomas and she keeps in touch with them through her shared interests. Her friends are likely to be very supportive to Thomas in everything she does.
