Molly Ringwald
motivation

Molly has two conflicting interests that she tries to resolve. As described in the previous chapter, she loves to nurture and support others, and family relationships are very important to Ringwald. However, there is another side to Molly Ringwald: at heart she is a very independent person and she needs to participate in community endeavors and be involved with the world at large. Having a meaningful career and being involved in a larger circle of friends and associates is important to her as well. There are many ways to satisfy both of these sides. She may become an advocate for family needs or women's and children's issues in the workplace and in society as a whole. Or she may simply lend a personal, supportive, human touch to the impersonal atmosphere of business or academia. One negative possibility, however, is that she is may become very dogmatic about her own personal concerns and biases, not realizing how many of her social, political and even scientific views are rooted in personal experience rather than objective criteria.

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

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

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

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

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

Molly Ringwald craves intense experiences and is attracted to aspects of life that are strange, unfathomable, or taboo. She may hide her interests or inclinations, except from those who know Molly very intimately. Molly Ringwald is rarely content with herself and her life, and she has an inner urge to be continually going farther or deeper than her ever have before. Molly has also a strong interest in social power and the role that money and economics play in people's lives.

Molly Ringwald feels that she has the support of her family or others in her environment for her creative efforts and personal goals, which enables her to act with confidence. She is able to satisfy both her need to be an individual and her need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. She is in harmony with herself and is therefore an effective individual.

Molly Ringwald aims high, dreams big, and has a tremendous sense of what she is capable of achieving. Overconfidence, grandiosity, lack of humility and/or extreme discontent in modest circumstances may be her faults. Generally, however, Ringwald'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 Molly.

At times Molly Ringwald may feel an uncontrollable urge to radically alter her direction in life, or to act in ways that seem eccentric or at least highly uncharacteristic of her. When her life is becoming too predictable, Molly may do something to upset the status quo, sometimes without realizing why or how she is doing this. These impulses may seem at odds with her conscious intent and desires for herself, and can be unsettling. However, there is a streak of unconventionality and creative genius in Molly Ringwald which needs to be expressed now and then.

Molly is extremely sensitive and imaginative, and she can get lost in her dreams, fantasies and visions. She is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, as well as to the world of color, beauty, and emotion. Molly Ringwald is also drawn to mysticism and she has deep spiritual aspirations and yearnings. Gentle and peace loving, Ringwald may lack the will and competitive spirit needed to make her way in the world. She is often impractical and may seek to avoid or escape the harsh realities of life.

Both sensitive and sensuous, Molly blends charm and energy. Molly Ringwald has a healthy sexuality and a good balance between activity and passivity. She may be fond of singing, dancing, music and drama. Romance comes easily to Molly, and her romantic relationships are passionate.

Appearing successful and attractive to the public is important to her. Molly Ringwald probably enjoys wearing stylish clothes and modern jewelry. She tends to seek admiration from others and social acceptance is necessary to Molly's well-being.
