Richard Egan
motivation

Although Richard Egan appears to be unselfish, gentle and somewhat passive (as described on the previous page), Egan really has a strong sense of himself and is a much more dominant individual than he seems to be initially. Richard Egan also craves personal glory and acclaim much more than he first lets on. He may feel torn, at times, between taking care of himself and giving to others.

Proud and intensely individual, Richard Egan really wants to stand out, to be the very best he can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for his unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to him, and he cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Richard Egan must put his personal stamp on whatever he does, and direct his own course in life. Richard Egan needs to have a place where he can shine, express himself creatively, and be the one in charge.

Richard has big dreams and the determination, spirit, vitality and enthusiasm to realize them. Richard Egan also has a noble, romantic heart, and a love of the dramatic, colorful, and extravagant.

For Richard Egan, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and he secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Richard wants to be great and to receive the love and applause of an adoring audience, even if the "audience" is just one other special person. He needs someone to believe in him and his dreams. Though Egan appears radiantly self-confident and independent, he is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. He cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

Richard Egan also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person he loves feel special. Richard Egan loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in his relationships. He is also immensely loyal and will defend his loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend his pride or betray his trust. However, Richard Egan likes to be the strong one in his relationships and he really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Richard needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as he is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with him.

Egan's strengths are his zest and love for life, his creative power and his warm and generous heart. His primary fault is his tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression he is making and with his own creative self-expression that he forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around him.

Richard Egan has a very dramatic, creative, expressive nature and he loves to perform. Richard enjoys being the center of attention and he seeks to shine, to excel, and to be outstanding in some unique way. He is very involved in his own creativity and self-expression, and takes great pleasure in developing and using his special talents be they artistic, athletic or intellectual. Richard Egan has a strong sense of pride.

Egan's subconscious needs and feelings blend well with his conscious intentions and desires, therefore Richard Egan is able to proceed with his life's pursuits relatively unhampered by internal resistance or inconsistency. Richard's male-female relationships will also reflect this state of internal harmony.

At times Richard Egan may feel an uncontrollable urge to radically alter his direction in life or to act in ways that seem eccentric or at least highly atypical. When his life becomes too predictable, Richard may do something to upset the status quo, sometimes without realizing why or how he is doing it. These impulses may seem at odds with his conscious intent and desires for himself, and can be unsettling. However, there is a streak of unconventionality and creative genius in Richard Egan that needs to be expressed now and then.

Sensitive and imaginative, he is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits and to mysticism. Richard Egan is impressionable and receptive, and often has experiences that are unusual and unexplainable by the rational mind. Richard has an abundance of dreams, visions and longings, but does not always have the concentrated will and stamina to make them materialize. Gentle, idealistic and peace loving, Richard often seeks to avoid the harsh realities of life. Richard has an ethereal quality about him.

He is warm-hearted, kind, generous and very popular, especially with the opposite sex. Egan's happy feelings rub off onto others and everyone enjoys being with him. Due to a protective and encouraging upbringing, his relationships with his parents are good.

Richard Egan has a great need for security which he may seek in a partner who could be older than him and perhaps married before. Richard Egan probably feels restrained in expressing affection, giving the impression of being cool and indifferent toward those he loves.

His vitality is not up to par and his will-power a bit weak, making Richard Egan vulnerable to swindle or deceit. His inner discontent and casual attitude could easily lead Egan into dubious schemes. Richard should refrain from any activity that seems to be subversive.
