Serena Williams
motivation

Her sensible, practical, down-to-earth appearance (described in the previous chapter), combined with her interest in relationships and other people (described below), make Serena Williams a very pleasant and likeable person. Others come to Serena Williams for practical advice and to share their concerns and feelings.

Harmony and balance are her keynotes. Serena Williams instinctively understands the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and she is always fair and willing to meet others half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Serena does all she can to avoid conflict and discord. Her spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and she often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Williams since she can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make her own decisions. Williams will rarely act without seeking the counsel and feedback of other people. She prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on her own. Being alone feels very unnatural to Serena Williams, and she has a strong need for a partner and intimate one-on-one relationships.

Serena Williams invests a great deal of her energy in personal love relationships and she is very idealistic and romantic about marriage. Serena Williams seeks a partner who is her equal intellectually, and who is capable of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. She makes a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and she enjoys the traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Williams perceives relationships like an art that requires time, attention and creative effort. Serena Williams appreciates a partner who is subtle and polished, never coarse or blunt.

Fairness and equality, both in her personal relationships and in the world, are extremely important to her. If Serena Williams fights about anything, it is often about something she feels is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to Serena. She believes in moderation in all things and avoids fanaticism and extremism at all costs.

Serena Williams also has a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way Williams dresses and furnishes her home and workspace. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. Working with people as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator, or in an artistic field such as design or photography would be fulfilling to her.

Her energies are directed to either perfecting her techniques, skills, and abilities in work, or in "perfecting", refining, and improving herself as a person. Critical analysis and attention to minute detail are intrinsic in either process. The urge to bring about a state of wholeness or optimal functioning is a strong motivation of Serena Williams', and she is quite a perfectionist!

Williams can easily become overly identified or involved with the function she performs, with her work, or with her own health and "growth process".

Williams might be called the eternal optimist and has a very peace-loving nature. She seems to be happy and content, generous and popular in social circles. Serena Williams also has a good sense for business and likes to carry out enterprises on a large scale.
