Mohammad Reza Pahlavi
motivation

Many of the traits discussed in the previous chapter are emphasized again below. His intuition is usually correct, but there are also times when Mohammad Reza Pahlavi obstinately and passionately pursues his goal when a more flexible attitude and open communication with others would benefit him greatly.

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

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi also has a powerful need for deep emotional relationships and he forms very intense love bonds and attachments. He is possessive and often jealous of anyone or anything that he perceives as a threat to his relationships with someone he loves. When Mohammad Reza Pahlavi commits himself to someone or something, he is wholeheartedly devoted and expects complete loyalty in return. Mohammad Reza merges with or "marries" the person he loves at a very deep level and therefore separations are extremely painful for him, and often stormy and nasty. When Pahlavi has been wounded, he is not inclined to turn the other cheek and will retaliate if at all possible. Certainly Mohammad Reza will never forget the injury and he often harbors grievances and resentments for a long, long time. Forgiveness does not come easily to him.

Whatever he does, Mohammad Reza does with passion and fervor, and he often goes to extremes. Pahlavi can be hot or cold, but never lukewarm about anything. Pahlavi can also be very narrow: either he is 100% involved in something or else it does not exist for him at all. Rarely is Mohammad Reza Pahlavi emotionally detached and objective. He definitely has a fanatical streak. He is also immensely strong-willed and his tenacity in pursuing his objectives often borders on being obsessive. Fierce pride, courage, and emotional strength are his in abundance.

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

Leading groups and classes, and being involved in community efforts, social activities, events or movements are areas where Mohammad Reza Pahlavi really shines and expresses his creativity. An awareness of politics or the larger social impact of individual actions is natural to him.

The unusual and unorthodox appeal to Pahlavi, and he does not allow tradition, convention, or other people's expectations to dictate how he is going to live his life. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi craves freedom, adventure, excitement, and discovery, and is not afraid of change. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi possesses inventive and creative genius.

Mohammad Reza Pahlavi has a great desire for freedom and independence and is subject to strong emotional tensions. He is very creative and forges ahead tirelessly. But Pahlavi tends to make the highest demands on his physical energy and is prone to over-stimulate his nerves.
