Mick Avory
motivation

Behind Avory's quiet, unassuming and cautious front (described in the previous chapter) lies a much more unconventional, liberal-thinking, freedom-loving soul, described below.

He is a freedom-loving, strong-willed and independent-minded individual, and he insists upon living his own life as he sees fit, even if it means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal relationships, Mick Avory cannot be owned or possessed, and while he is willing to share himself with another, he does not always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of close relationships. Though intellectually open, Avory can be enormously stubborn, opinionated and inflexible on a one-to-one level. Mick has strong convictions and feelings about fairness and equality, and he tries to abide by them; however, his ideals about how people "should" treat one another do not always take into account human weaknesses, differences and needs. Mick Avory probably dislikes sentimentality and traditional gender roles and "games".

He is fair, intelligent, objective and rational and he often let his head rule rather than his heart. Mick Avory seems rather self-sufficient and emotionally detached because he is capable of putting aside his personal feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once Mick makes up his mind on an issue, it is difficult to dissuade him, and he can be rather dogmatic.

Mick Avory thinks in broad terms and is concerned with the world beyond his own personal sphere - his town, nation, or even planet. He is likely to become involved in, or show a keen interest in, community endeavors, social organizations and groups of all kinds. He enjoys being part of a group endeavor, and he often assumes the role of organizing, managing or supervising group activities.

Forward-looking and progressive, he harbors great hopes for the future. Mick Avory stays current and up to date, and responds to contemporary cultural trends, both in terms of personal style and ideas. When young, Mick Avory was very influenced by peer pressure and by all the "latest crazes". Mick has an experimental mind and is attracted to novelty.

His strong points include his concern for human welfare and social betterment, his sense of fairness and democratic spirit, and his vision. His faults are his stubbornness and inflexibility, and a tendency to be very obtuse and insensitive when it comes to personal feelings and human needs.

His energies are directed toward either honing his professional techniques, skills and abilities or "perfecting", refining, and improving himself as a person. Critical analysis and attention to minute detail are intrinsic in either process. Mick Avory is highly motivated to strive for a state of wholeness or optimal functioning and he is quite a perfectionist!

Avory can easily become overly identified or involved with the task he performs, with his work, or with his own health and "growth process".

Mick Avory aims high, dreams big, and has a tremendous sense of what he is capable of achieving. Overconfidence, grandiosity, lack of humility and/or extreme discontent in modest circumstances may be his faults. Generally, however, Avory's great expectations and enterprising spirit lead to success. Business, especially when there is an element of risk and speculation involved, is ideally suited to Mick.

He is strong-willed, forceful and independent. Avory knows what he wants, but sometimes may act too impulsively, causing quarrels or disagreement with others. Mick Avory tends to judge himself and others quite severely, but he is very sincere, honest and trustworthy.
