Richard Pryor
drive and ambition

Richard Pryor is extremely strong-willed and he pursues his goals and desires with passionate dedication and determination. He is capable of total concentration and tremendous discipline, and he is very difficult to influence or sway once his mind is made up. When Richard Pryor wants something, Pryor can be very one-sided and almost obsessed with it. He is very instinctive and does not always consciously know why he feels as strongly and deeply as he does.

He also tends to be secretive and unwilling to reveal his aims and intentions, and the intensity of his will and desire may not initially be apparent to others. However, Pryor is very forceful in a quiet and subtle way. Richard Pryor often manipulates or forces his will upon other people, without being overtly aggressive. He is not interested in confrontation but he is a formidable foe if he encounters opposition or aggression. Richard is courageous and has a rather primitive, raw side as well.

Richard Pryor encounters numerous challenges and possibly defeats in the pursuit of his goals and desires, and his setbacks often occur because Richard has been too rash or intent on satisfying his own will regardless of the impact on others. Richard Pryor is intense and passionate, and simply does not know when to stop sometimes! Recklessness with others can be a problem for Pryor.

Richard Pryor has an adventurous, entrepreneurial spirit and the instincts to achieve major success. Competition and rivalry spur Richard Pryor on to do his best and push past his limits. He enjoys taking initiative and has positive expectations that generate positive results. At times, however, Richard Pryor is overconfident, cocky and vainglorious. Sports and business are both suitable arenas for Pryor.

Although enterprising and proactive, Richard Pryor is also capable of ample much self-discipline, patience and effort. He may swing from confidence and trust in the future to pessimism and doubt, when it comes to achieving his aims in life.

Richard Pryor struggles with feelings of discouragement, self-doubt, and the sense that life is a constant uphill battle. He is also prone to suppressing his feelings - especially aggressive or angry ones. This could lead to chronic resentment and bitterness, which actually undermines Pryor's goal far more than openly expressing his anger would.

On the positive side, Richard Pryor is capable of immense patience, endurance and tireless effort in order to attain his goals and desires. Richard Pryor seems to have to work very hard, and without much outside help. However, if he can avoid a negative attitude and keep "plugging along", Pryor will achieve something substantial. Moreover, he is much more effective when working for someone else.

Richard Pryor has a powerful will and when he wants something, he pursues it passionately and relentlessly until he achieves it. He may be so driven by his desire that he loses all objectivity. Richard Pryor often becomes compulsive, even obsessed, with doing or achieving something, no matter what the costs or how hard he must work for it. His forcefulness may be veiled or subtle, for often Pryor does not reveal his real aims and intentions to others until they cross him. Intense power struggles and relationships with a strong dominance/submissiveness theme are likely to erupt. Richard Pryor has enormous energy reserves, and is capable of extraordinary effort and great achievement if he uses his energies for constructive purposes.

An inner conflict between the desire for greater opportunities and the desire to hold on to safe and predictable circumstances could make Pryor somewhat discontent. Richard Pryor longs for changes in his life, but may lack the tenacity to bring them about.

Indecision and confusion over his ambitions or direction in life may hold Richard back from achieving anything solid, especially in his early life. He is very much a dreamer and his interests and inclinations may not translate very readily into concrete goals. Personal glory or accomplishment can never be Pryor's sole motivation or drive in life. Ministering to others in some way may be his calling, however. Alternatively, Richard Pryor could use his dreamy, imaginative energies in creative ways - in the arts, music or entertainment.

Richard Pryor feels that he knows who he is and therefore is confident that he can achieve his objectives. He may consider marriage as his sole aim in life and could become completely bound up in his marriage and family life.

His resistance and stamina are inclined to be a bit low and Richard Pryor tends to be easily influenced by others. He may leave himself open to being corrupted by others and should guard against involvement in situations that he may later regret.
