Nico
motivation

Though Nico may seem breezy, independent and freedom loving (as mentioned in the previous chapter), she is in fact not completely happy without a partner. She enjoys being on the move and exploring new territory, but wants a traveling companion! Nico yearns for fulfilling, yet non-restricting relationships.

Harmony and balance are her keynotes. Nico instinctively understands the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and she is always fair and willing to meet others half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Nico does all she can to avoid conflict and discord. Her spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and she often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Nico since she can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make her own decisions. Nico will rarely act without seeking the counsel and feedback of other people. She prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on her own. Being alone feels very unnatural to Nico, and she has a strong need for a partner and intimate one-on-one relationships.

Nico invests a great deal of her energy in personal love relationships and she is very idealistic and romantic about marriage. Nico seeks a partner who is her equal intellectually, and who is capable of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. She makes a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and she enjoys the traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Nico perceives relationships like an art that requires time, attention and creative effort. Nico appreciates a partner who is subtle and polished, never coarse or blunt.

Fairness and equality, both in her personal relationships and in the world, are extremely important to her. If Nico fights about anything, it is often about something she feels is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to Nico. She believes in moderation in all things and avoids fanaticism and extremism at all costs.

Nico also has a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way Nico dresses and furnishes her home and workspace. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. Working with people as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator, or in an artistic field such as design or photography would be fulfilling to her.

Her career, reputation and public image are very important to Nico. Nico has a strong desire to be influential or make her mark on the world. She is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; her ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for her unique effort and gifts. Nico may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

Nico tends to see things from her perspective only and to be rather subjective. She also enjoys talking and expressing her views but does not always listen as well. Nico has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and she needs constant mental stimulation and activity.

Nico often feels that she is at cross purposes with herself, for her conscious intentions and desires conflict with her subconscious emotional needs and drives. She is torn in two different directions. Nico has difficulty satisfying both her need to be an individual and her need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Nico sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to her or what Nico really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.

Nico has lofty aspirations but does not struggle or labor to achieve them. Her self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefit her in an almost magical way. Her optimism and cheerful generosity also win Nico many allies and successes in life.

Nico has a harmonious balance between her body, soul and spirit. She enjoys intellectual challenges from others, but tends to form her own mental attitudes and philosophies of life. She may be interested in studying human nature and matters of health.

Nico has a basic need to fit in with others and is always willing to cooperate. She enjoys working with others as a team and is a well liked comrade.
