Matthew Perry
motivation

The way Matthew Perry comes across to others is very congruent with his true nature so "what he sees is what you get". The description below reinforces what you read about Matthew in the previous chapter.

Proud and intensely individual, Matthew Perry 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". Matthew Perry must put his personal stamp on whatever he does, and direct his own course in life. Matthew Perry needs to have a place where he can shine, express himself creatively, and be the one in charge.

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

For Matthew Perry, 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. Matthew 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 Perry 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.

Matthew Perry also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person he loves feel special. Matthew Perry 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, Matthew Perry likes to be the strong one in his relationships and he really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Matthew needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as he is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with him.

Perry's 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.

Matthew Perry has a clear sense of his own self and he therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who he is and what he wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Perry can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but he competes and often clash with other strong individuals. Matthew Perry feels a need to be in control of his own life and he can be too self-involved, too immersed in his own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

Matthew 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. Matthew Perry is also drawn to mysticism and he has deep spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace loving, Perry 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.

He is warm-hearted, kind, generous and very popular, especially with the opposite sex. Perry's happy feelings rub off onto others and everyone enjoys being with him. Due to a protective and encouraging upbringing, his relationships with his parents are good.

He is somewhat excitable and quickly aroused. Matthew Perry could be a little self-centered, but at the same time also magnetic. Matthew likes to flirt and tends to fall in love at first sight, but he then transfers his affections to someone else for no apparent reason.

Perry alternates between aggression and apathy and sometimes feels that he is unable to meet all the demands made on him. Once Matthew Perry becomes aware of what he needs to do, however, he is capable of working long and hard, not giving up until his work is done.
