Steve Martin
motivation

The way Steve Martin 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 Steve in the previous chapter.

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

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

For Steve Martin, 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. Steve 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 Martin 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.

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

Martin'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.

Steve Martin has a clear sense of his own self and he therefore conveys a strong impression to others of who he is and what he wants. Assertive and self-motivated, Martin can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but he competes and often clash with other strong individuals. Steve Martin feels a need to be in control of his own life and he can be too self-involved, too immersed in his own interests, and oblivious to others at times.

His deep comprehension and good powers of concentration give Steve Martin the ability to judge matters wisely and prudently. He is a keen observer and also can be a persuasive speaker. Steve likes to be in control, but needs appreciation and recognition for his efforts.

He prefers more serious kinds of conversation with his friends and neighbors rather than small talk. Because his communication is clear and concise, Steve Martin can impress others by taking control of negotiations or business dealings.

He may find it hard to establish relationships with other people and he tends to look for more timid partners. Steve Martin could also have difficulty expressing his ideas to others as well as coming to an understanding with them.
