Michael John Smith
motivation

Although Michael John Smith is quite proud and likes to show off and impress other people with his accomplishments and appearance (as described on the previous page) - he is really quite practical, solid, and down to earth (as discussed below). Because of this, he is likely to actually earn the right to be admired - that is, to have actually done something to be proud of.

He is a steadfast and patient soul, capable of tremendous devotion, dedication, endurance and constancy. The ability to follow through and stick with things is one of his greatest assets. Once Smith's course is set, he pursues it tenaciously until it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway him from his purpose.

Michael John Smith has a very practical nature; he wants to see concrete, tangible results for his efforts, and he is not one to concoct wild dreams that are unlikely to come into fruition. Most of his "wild dreams" have to do with material achievements, well-being and security, for he has a great love of the physical world and he wants to experience and enjoy it to the full. Though Michael John Smith will work long and persistently, he also has a strong sensual and comfort-loving side, and he wants to enjoy what he has worked for. In fact, Smith can be enormously lazy at times and has a tendency to overindulge in good food and other earthly pleasures. Michael John Smith also loves the beauty of the natural world and he probably prefers a serene country setting to an urban life style.

Basically, his needs are simple and he is easy to please. Michael John Smith has a strong desire for security, stability and peace, and will rarely make changes unless he is forced to do so.

Though he hates upheaval and sudden changes, Michael John Smith usually maintains his poise and equanimity. Michael John Smith also has an innate sense of harmony with nature, allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time and the patience to nurture something into being - be it a garden, a child, or a creative project. He makes an excellent parent, especially if he follows his instincts more often than "the experts".

Michael has three major faults: one is his bullheaded obstinacy. The second is his unwillingness to deviate from his safe, predictable routine. And the third is Smith's tendency to always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative, speculative, and fanciful - in other words, Michael John Smith lacks the ability to play with ideas and possibilities, and to open his mind to new horizons.

Smith is very attracted to world travel, foreign cultures and studies that expand his intellectual horizons and broaden his understanding of the world.

He is intensely willful, zealous, and fanatical though Michael often hides the intensity of his feelings and his personal motives and desires.

Michael John Smith tends to worship heroes who have powerful personal magnetism and charisma and often seeks to emulate them.
