Peter Fonda
motivation

Behind Fonda's rather lighthearted, witty and restless demeanor described in the previous chapter, lies a sensitive, poetic soul. Peter Fonda may cover up his sensitivity with light banter and cleverness - or he may use his verbal and communication skills to express his imagination, kindness and refined sensitivity.

At heart he is very gentle, impressionable and receptive - a dreamer. The world of his imagination, feelings, and intuition is as real to Peter Fonda as anything in the outer world, though he may have trouble verbalizing or interpreting his inner experiences in a way others can understand. Mystical, artistic, musical, emotional and imaginative, he has a rich inner life, though Fonda may seem rather unobtrusive and quiet outwardly. Peter Fonda usually keeps to himself.

Peter shows great sensitivity and empathy toward others and often senses things psychically or intuitively which prove to be correct. He is tolerant, forgiving and nonjudgmental, accepting people unconditionally regardless of their flaws, mistakes, or outward appearance. Peter has deep compassion for the suffering of any fellow creature and he often feels the pain of others as if it were his own. Peter Fonda sympathizes with the needy, the disadvantaged and the misfits of society. He is capable of giving selflessly, living a life of devoted and compassionate service to others, as a healer, physician, social worker or minister. However, Fonda tends to give indiscriminately, to let others take advantage of his kindness, and to encourage the weak to remain so by becoming dependent upon him. Peter has little sense of boundaries, or of knowing when to say "no". Moderation and self-discipline are not his strong points.

He is a lover and a peacemaker rather than a fighter, and he tries to avoid open conflict. Fonda will patiently ignore or "tune out" problems and hope they will go away by themselves, rather than confront them directly and Fonda tends to lack the positive, fighting spirit that is sometimes necessary to overcome challenges. He is fluid, open, nonresistant and somewhat passive. Peter Fonda does things in a subtle, often covert, manner.

His gifts may also lie in the realm of the creative, artistic, or musical, for he possesses great sensitivity, inspiration and limitless imagination. Peter Fonda has a strong affinity for beauty and love.

His faults include a tendency to be lazy and negligent, and to wallow in self-pity rather than take strong, definite action to change his life for the better. He also tends to become so detached from his immediate environment that he lives in a disorderly, chaotic sort of hodgepodge, though this probably bothers those around Fonda more than it bothers him.

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

His conscious intentions and goals are frequently opposed by his unconscious beliefs and desires. If Peter Fonda overrides his instincts and emotions because they seem to lead him in a direction diametrically opposed to the one he consciously desires, his emotions can become unruly. Poor relationships with women and/or difficulties in close one-on-one relationships are also a reflection of this tendency. However, if Peter Fonda attends to his emotional urges and feelings and listens to the voice of his intuition, dreams and gut feelings, he will derive greater satisfaction from a more balanced life.

Fonda can be an inspiring leader of a team or group effort. His dynamism and energy evokes the same in others, and he sees healthy competition between people as a plus. Generally, Peter Fonda enjoys fine health as well.

He is prone to fanaticism and cannot go halfway in anything he does. His extremism may seem (and actually be) obsessive and somewhat blind. That is, Peter Fonda does not always consciously understand why he feels as driven or intense about a given course of action as he does. There is a strong element of fate or inevitability in Fonda's life. A significant death or loss in his close relationships is likely to profoundly influence Peter Fonda and shape important life decisions and he may consciously seek out intense, life-or-death experiences as well.
