Matt Sorum
drive and ambition

Matt Sorum avoids direct confrontation as much as possible and is uncomfortable with aggressiveness, competition and personal power. His ego drive is not very dominant and Sorum is not especially ambitious or eager to push his way to the top. He may feel inadequate in situations that call for strong, forceful action. The only instance in which Matt Sorum will really fight is when he senses that his loved ones - or something dear to him- are being jeopardized, in which case he is a fierce defender. Matt Sorum has a very strong protective side. He acts on impulse and instinct and may lash out at anyone he perceives as threatening to Matt's home or family. However, Matt Sorum will rarely initiate a confrontation. His goals also tend to be very personal and centered on family closeness and inner satisfaction rather than worldly achievement.

He is sensitive to stress and does not handle a high-pressured, competitive atmosphere very well. Matt Sorum is very touchy, irritable and difficult to live with when there are many demands or stressful situations at work. His energy level varies and is very dependent on the emotional harmony (or lack thereof) in his home. A supportive partner is very instrumental in helping Sorum to achieve his goals and desires.

Sorum plays vigorously and enjoys competitive games and physical rough-and-tumble activities. Athletics and/or physical activities have great appeal for him. Matt Sorum takes the initiative in sports and also in romantic relationships: he is ardent in pursuing anything he desires.

Matt Sorum struggles with feelings of discouragement, self-doubt, and the sense that life is a constant uphill battle. He is also prone to suppressing his feelings - especially aggressive or angry ones. This could lead to chronic resentment and bitterness, which actually undermines Sorum's goal far more than openly expressing his anger would.

On the positive side, Matt Sorum is capable of immense patience, endurance and tireless effort in order to attain his goals and desires. Matt Sorum seems to have to work very hard, and without much outside help. However, if he can avoid a negative attitude and keep "plugging along", Sorum will achieve something substantial. Moreover, he is much more effective when working for someone else.

Positions of honor, affluence, influence and stature in his community can be his. Matt Sorum feels that his destiny involves leadership or distinguishing himself in some way. Matt possesses an innate sense of greatness or importance, and a strong drive to achieve recognition for his talent. Matt Sorum should avoid excessive egotism and arrogant pride, for these could limit his opportunities.

Matt Sorum is likely to receive much publicity and popularity through his professional pursuits, for he has a way of winning the hearts and trust of many people. Matt has an instinct for what the masses will respond to emotionally, and this sense of what other people want enables him to succeed in sales, promotion, and so on. His career could also involve protecting and caring for people, and nurturing them in some capacity.

In some ways Matt Sorum may feel that he has little choice about his role in society. He is compelled either by unusual external circumstances or by an inner drive, to bring potentially dark, difficult, or taboo issues into public awareness. Matt delves into the hidden side of life - things which may have been purposefully concealed or repressed - and sheds light on them. Matt Sorum could come into direct conflict with the authorities or powers-that-be as a result. He is apt to have extraordinary ambitions, and could also become overly zealous and fanatical.

Matt Sorum feels that he knows who he is and therefore is confident that he can achieve his objectives. He may consider marriage as his sole aim in life and could become completely bound up in his marriage and family life.
