Robert Taylor
motivation

The way Robert Taylor comes across to others is very congruent with his true nature so "what he sees is what you get". The description below reinforces what you read about Robert in the previous chapter.

Proud and intensely individual, Robert Taylor 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". Robert Taylor must put his personal stamp on whatever he does, and direct his own course in life. Robert Taylor needs to have a place where he can shine, express himself creatively, and be the one in charge.

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

For Robert Taylor, 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. Robert 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 Taylor 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.

Robert Taylor also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person he loves feel special. Robert Taylor 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, Robert Taylor likes to be the strong one in his relationships and he really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Robert needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as he is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with him.

Taylor'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.

Robert Taylor tends to get involved in the helping professions or in activities where his efforts are hidden, behind the scenes, unacknowledged or unknown to the public. Taylor may find it exceedingly uncomfortable to assert himself or get up in front of an audience.

He is direct, energetic, sometimes aggressive and combative. Robert Taylor often feels that he needs to fight to get what he wants, and he tends to have a "me-first" attitude that angers or irritates others. He is hasty, restless, impatient and sometimes reckless.

Taylor has an intrinsic creative and artistic ability and an unusual sense of form. Robert Taylor also has a deep need for relationships that offer affection and can be quite intense when by inner compulsion he feels drawn to someone. His relationships tend to be peculiar in some way.

He may lack direction and drive and tends to compare himself unfavorably to others. Taylor alternates between caution and unrealistic expectations and lets others expect too much of him. But Robert Taylor plods forward steadily, reaching success later in life.

Taylor depends a great deal on other people's reactions to him and rarely acts until he sees how he affects others. Robert Taylor must learn to be direct and straightforward, rather than evasive or manipulative. Robert should also learn to rely heavily on his hunches.
