Paul Whiteman
drive and ambition

Whiteman is aspiring, enterprising and forever following a bright and distant star, planning some new venture or investigating new potential. He is definitely "upwardly mobile" in either a material or spiritual sense. Paul Whiteman aims high and is not content with a mere quiet, secure existence. Paul likes to stretch his limits, see how far he can go and take risks. He is a positive thinker, expects success for himself, and is philosophical about failures. Whiteman is flexible and he bounces back from disappointments rather quickly, usually with another hopeful new idea he wants to try. His enthusiasm and confidence are contagious and enable Paul Whiteman to enlist the aid and support he needs for his projects. However, Paul Whiteman sometimes promises more than he can actually achieve, because he is overly optimistic or pays insufficient attention to the practicalities involved.

He also tends to get distracted and to have too many things going on at once. Although it is very difficult for him, there are times when Paul Whiteman simply must cultivate commitment, perseverance and persistence in order to make his dreams and goals reality. Too often Paul Whiteman falls short of what he could attain because he is unwilling to persist through the difficult or less exciting times.

Paul Whiteman also enjoys competition and usually does not take it too seriously. Sports and entrepreneurial endeavors are good ways to channel Paul's energy.

He is likely to be known for his drive, energy, ambition and competitive spirit. He is likely to espouse a career based on his ability to take initiative, be a leader, or excel in physical strength and prowess. Paul Whiteman most definitely wants to be a winner and will work hard to achieve it.

Paul Whiteman has a rather cocky, confident, we-can-do-it attitude that people in his environment pick up on quite readily. Inspiring, motivating, and encouraging others to go out and do their very best is one of Paul's innate gifts. Paul Whiteman has faith in the power of action and boldness, and enjoys initiating new programs and projects.

He is highly ambitious and will drive himself (and others) mercilessly when he wants to achieve something. Competition can become deadly serious and rather ugly where Whiteman is concerned, as if his very life depended on winning or conquering. His relationships with men may be especially fraught with conflict and power struggles. He is capable of tremendous effort but Paul Whiteman must beware of burnout.

Paul Whiteman's capacity to tolerate tension and ambivalence, compromise, and endure discomfort helps him to confront the challenges and difficulties in life. Remaining steadfast in the midst of crisis or sudden change, as well as knowing when to wait and when to make necessary changes are manifestations of these skills. Paul's timing is usually good.

Paul Whiteman has a powerful drive for achievement and a penchant for athletics or some other very vigorous, challenging career. He is apt to push himself very hard, trying to outdo the competition. When possible, Whiteman likes to work independently, blazing trails for others to follow. Impatience, recklessness, or an overly ego-centered approach to success could be his downfall. (Knowing Paul Whiteman, however, he is likely to get right back on his feet!)

Deep, compelling drives that Paul Whiteman does not entirely understand are likely to be the source of his rather extraordinary ambitions. He may find that a drive for dominance, power and control stem from the rather problematic and intense relationship Paul had with one or both of his parents. If Paul Whiteman is willing to delve deeply into his own fears and inner life and clear away much of the conditioning of his earliest years, he will indeed discover tremendous inner resources which can be used to fuel his rise in the world.

Happiness and fulfillment in Paul's career are likely because he gives his all to it and will not make the sorts of compromises that others feel compelled to make in order to succeed. Self-expression and being his own person are very important to Whiteman.

Paul Whiteman's father or another important man in his life is likely to be of tremendous help to him. His relationships with superiors and those in a position to boost his career are usually excellent.

The road to success, professional advancement and fulfillment of his long-range goals is likely to be easier and smoother for Paul Whiteman than for many. This is partly due to his getting a great deal of financial and/or emotional support. Someone early in his life probably really believed in Paul and had high expectations for him. Paul Whiteman contributes to his own success by setting high goals and enlisting the aid of friends and others to achieve these goals. A lack of selfishness or pettiness is a great boon to him. Whatever Paul Whiteman does is likely to be expansive and eventually quite prosperous.

Often Paul Whiteman feels like he is being pulled in two directions - what he needs to do to fulfill his long-range ambitions, and what he actually feels like doing. This may make it difficult for Paul to be constant and consistent in pursuing goals, career aims, etc.

Relationships with women, trying to satisfy family needs, or other emotional attachments sometimes also conflict. Often Paul Whiteman has to decide on one or another at a given time, rather than try to have both.
