Steve Winwood
motivation

The way Steve Winwood appears or comes across to others is very congruent with his true nature; what he sees is what you get. The description below corroborates what you read about Steve in the previous chapter. If at all possible, Winwood should avoid living in large cities, as he needs natural surroundings.

He is a steadfast and patient soul, capable of tremendous devotion, dedication, endurance and constancy. The ability to follow through and stick with things is one of his greatest assets. Once Winwood's course is set, he pursues it tenaciously until it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway him from his purpose.

Steve Winwood has a very practical nature; he wants to see concrete, tangible results for his efforts, and he is not one to concoct wild dreams that are unlikely to come into fruition. Most of his "wild dreams" have to do with material achievements, well-being and security, for he has a great love of the physical world and he wants to experience and enjoy it to the full. Though Steve Winwood will work long and persistently, he also has a strong sensual and comfort-loving side, and he wants to enjoy what he has worked for. In fact, Winwood can be enormously lazy at times and has a tendency to overindulge in good food and other earthly pleasures. Steve Winwood also loves the beauty of the natural world and he probably prefers a serene country setting to an urban life style.

Basically, his needs are simple and he is easy to please. Steve Winwood has a strong desire for security, stability and peace, and will rarely make changes unless he is forced to do so. He is not very demanding emotionally, though he does crave a great deal of physical closeness and affection. Because of his faithfulness, emotional steadfastness and gentle strength, others often depend upon Winwood for support. Though he hates upheaval and sudden changes, Steve Winwood usually maintains his poise and equanimity. Steve Winwood also has an innate sense of harmony with nature, allowing things to grow and unfold in their own time and the patience to nurture something into being - be it a garden, a child, or a creative project. He makes an excellent parent, especially if he follows his instincts more often than "the experts".

Steve has three major faults: one is his bullheaded obstinacy. The second is his unwillingness to deviate from his safe, predictable routine. And the third is Winwood's tendency to always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative, speculative, and fanciful - in other words, Steve Winwood lacks the ability to play with ideas and possibilities, and to open his mind to new horizons.

Steve Winwood 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, Winwood can be a leader - one whom others look to for direction - but he competes and often clashes with other strong individuals. Steve Winwood 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.
