Rick Barry
motivation

Behind Barry's proud and magnanimous demeanor (as described on the previous page) lies a real go-getter. Others feel that he is rather narcissistic. Rick Barry should strive to always be aware of others' needs and concerns to prove this criticism wrong!

He is a person who thrives on challenge, and he often feels that he must battle his way through life, relying on no one and nothing but his own strength, intelligence and courage. Rick Barry believes in being totally honest, true to himself and his own vision and convictions, even if it means standing alone. Honesty, integrity, personal honor and authenticity are Barry's gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Rick Barry craves the freedom to do things in his own way, and he works very well independently. Cooperating with others or carrying out another's will is not his style. Rick likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.

Rick Barry loves action and if others are settling down into a nice, comfortable little rut, then he is always ready to stir things up, do something new, make changes and introduce some fresh blood. Routine and sameness are tantamount to death for him. He is not afraid of trying something that has never been done before, and even though he may sometimes be perceived as a fool, Rick Barry also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for Barry, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.

He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Rick Barry believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and he perceives himself as a strong, even invincible, person. Rick Barry hates being ill or in a position of dependency. Accepting his own human limitations and emotional needs is often difficult for him.

He is basically aggressive in his attitudes and less adept at relating to others, picking up on subtle messages and nuances, listening, nurturing and harmonizing. He is often so fired up about his own projects or goals that he inadvertently runs over or ignores other people's feelings and interests. Being receptive and appreciative of others' contributions, ideas and feelings would be highly instrumental in improving Barry's relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes Rick Barry to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his goals through anger or temper tantrums. Rick Barry would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however his energetic, restless nature rarely allows Rick Barry to do so.

Barry is very attracted to world travel, foreign cultures and studies that expand his intellectual horizons and broaden his understanding of the world.

Rick Barry is philosophically inclined and concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting an overall picture of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy his mind much of the time.

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

He is an original! Rick Barry radiates a sort of electrical excitement about the things he is interested in, and conveys this to others, but he also gets bored rather quickly. Rick does not mind being a bit unusual or breaking a few rules either.

Rick Barry deeply believes in his own power and his ability to survive any change and emerge victorious from any difficulty. Rick has tremendous inner resources and strength. Intense, strong willed, and zealous, he pursues his desires and goals with complete dedication and singleness of purpose, and he may be somewhat compulsive and even fanatical at times. Rick likes to live intensely and has no respect for people who are weak or avoid confronting life and their own destiny.

Appearing successful and attractive to the public is important to him. Rick Barry probably enjoys wearing stylish clothes and modern jewelry. He tends to seek admiration from others and social acceptance is necessary to Rick's well-being.
