Robert Downey Jr.
motivation
Behind Downey's proud and magnanimous demeanor (as described on the previous page) lies a real go-getter. Others feel that he is rather narcissistic. Robert Downey Jr. 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. Robert Downey Jr. 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 Downey's gods, and he has no sympathy for weakness of character in others.
Robert Downey Jr. 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. Robert likes to be the chief - or to go it alone.
Robert Downey Jr. 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, Robert Downey Jr. also discovers, invents and initiates things that others will later emulate. Taking risks and following his own star are the breath of life for Downey, and he wilts (or gets very frustrated and angry) if he cannot do this.
He is spontaneous, impulsive, direct, enthusiastic and assertive. Robert Downey Jr. believes in the power of positive thinking and positive action, and he perceives himself as a strong, even invincible, person. Robert Downey Jr. 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 Downey's relationships. His impatience to get on with things causes Robert Downey Jr. to be rather insensitive, thereby alienating others unnecessarily. He also frequently tries to accomplish his goals through anger or temper tantrums. Robert Downey Jr. would gain much by learning to slow down, relax and sometimes just let things be, however his energetic, restless nature rarely allows Robert Downey Jr. to do so.
World travel, foreign cultures, and studies which expand his intellectual horizons and broaden his understanding of the world are very attractive to Downey.
Robert Downey Jr. has a philosophical turn of mind and is concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting the overview of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy his mind much of the time.
Robert Downey Jr. tends to see things from his perspective only and to be rather subjective. He also enjoys talking and expressing his views but does not always listen as well. Robert Downey Jr. has a clear mind, a love of learning and new experiences, and he needs constant mental stimulation and activity.
Robert Downey Jr. is loving and well loved by others, and has a strong need for relationships that offer kindness, friendship and affection. His artistic and creative powers are also well developed and Robert does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Downey, as are his personal appearance and attractiveness.
He is apt to be a fanatic in some way, and cannot go halfway in anything he does. His extremism may seem (and actually be) obsessive and somewhat blind. That is, Robert Downey Jr. 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 Downey's life. A significant death or loss in his close relationships is apt to profoundly influence Robert Downey Jr. and shape important decisions in his life, and he may consciously seek out intense, life-or-death experiences as well.
He keeps his feelings well under control, but is inclined to feel inferior and insecure. Downey displays a cool and reserved manner and tries to hide his inner discontentment. Robert Downey Jr. also has a tendency to cling to the past.
His vitality is not up to par and his will-power a bit weak, making Robert Downey Jr. vulnerable to swindle or deceit. His inner discontent and casual attitude could easily lead Downey into dubious schemes. Robert should refrain from any activity that seems to be subversive.
His physique tends to be sensitive and his vitality may be a bit low. Robert Downey Jr. is very impressionable and somewhat unrealistic. Sometimes his idealism could be confused or impractical, and Downey can be rebellious or else apathetic.
