Rick Schroder
motivation

Although Rick Schroder initially appears to be the essence of tact and diplomacy (as described on the previous page), he is not as gentle and peace loving as he may seem. Although Rick Schroder prefers harmony, he is willing to fight or aggressively pursue his own interest if need be. People who get to know Rick more than just superficially realize there is much more to him than his exterior coat of charm.

He may be at odds with himself at times because he has both a strong urge for togetherness and a powerful yearning for independence.

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 Schroder 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 Schroder's gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.

Rick Schroder 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 Schroder 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 Schroder also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for Schroder, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.

He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Rick Schroder believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and he perceives himself as a strong, even invincible, person. Rick Schroder 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 Schroder's relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes Rick Schroder to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his goals through anger or temper tantrums. Rick Schroder would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however his energetic, restless nature rarely allows Rick Schroder to do so.

His energies are directed toward either honing his professional techniques, skills and abilities or "perfecting", refining, and improving himself as a person. Critical analysis and attention to minute detail are intrinsic in either process. Rick Schroder is highly motivated to strive for a state of wholeness or optimal functioning and he is quite a perfectionist!

Schroder can easily become overly identified or involved with the task he performs, with his work, or with his own health and "growth process".

Rick Schroder often feels that he is at cross purposes with himself, for his conscious intentions and desires conflict with his subconscious emotional needs and drives. He is torn in two different directions. Rick has difficulty satisfying both his need to be an individual and his need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Rick sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to him or what Rick really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.

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, Rick Schroder 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 Schroder's life. A significant death or loss in his close relationships is likely to profoundly influence Rick Schroder and shape important life decisions and he may consciously seek out intense, life-or-death experiences as well.
