Stonewall Jackson
motivation

Although Stonewall Jackson comes across in a very gracious, tactful and considerate manner (as described on the previous page), he also holds some very definite points of view. Others may be surprised when they get to know Stonewall and recognize his willfulness and strong opinions.

He is a freedom-loving, strong-willed and independent-minded individual, and he insists upon living his own life as he sees fit, even if it means ignoring convention and tradition. In personal relationships, Stonewall Jackson cannot be owned or possessed, and while he is willing to share himself with another, he does not always adjust easily to the emotional give and take of close relationships. Though intellectually open, Jackson can be enormously stubborn, opinionated and inflexible on a one-to-one level. Stonewall has strong convictions and feelings about fairness and equality, and he tries to abide by them; however, his ideals about how people "should" treat one another do not always take into account human weaknesses, differences and needs. Stonewall Jackson probably dislikes sentimentality and traditional gender roles and "games".

He is fair, intelligent, objective and rational and he often let his head rule rather than his heart. Stonewall Jackson seems rather self-sufficient and emotionally detached because he is capable of putting aside his personal feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once Stonewall makes up his mind on an issue, it is difficult to dissuade him, and he can be rather dogmatic.

Stonewall Jackson thinks in broad terms and is concerned with the world beyond his own personal sphere - his town, nation, or even planet. He is likely to become involved in, or show a keen interest in, community endeavors, social organizations and groups of all kinds. He enjoys being part of a group endeavor, and he often assumes the role of organizing, managing or supervising group activities.

Forward-looking and progressive, he harbors great hopes for the future. Stonewall Jackson stays current and up to date, and responds to contemporary cultural trends, both in terms of personal style and ideas. When young, Stonewall Jackson was very influenced by peer pressure and by all the "latest crazes". Stonewall has an experimental mind and is attracted to novelty.

His strong points include his concern for human welfare and social betterment, his sense of fairness and democratic spirit, and his vision. His faults are his stubbornness and inflexibility, and a tendency to be very obtuse and insensitive when it comes to personal feelings and human needs.

He is a private person and inclined to withdraw in very public and impersonal social settings. Stonewall Jackson prefers to work at home or in a very personal small business.

Jackson invests a lot of his creative energy into his home, family relationships, and his inner life.

Jackson occasionally gamble, splurge, or overextend himself in ways that may be quite at odds with his usual way of doing things. Exaggerating his accomplishments or spending too much in order to impress others and build up his own self-esteem can be a problem. However, Stonewall Jackson also has faith and an optimistic side, which enable him to recover from the negative consequences of his excesses, and to learn from them.

Stonewall Jackson undergoes deep, transformative changes in his life with relative ease and a minimum of conscious resistance. Because he does not avoid the depths, Jackson has access to a lot of personal power and strength. Without realizing it or seeking it, Stonewall is apt to have quite a potent effect on the people he comes into contact with, even superficially. Others sense that Stonewall Jackson is a force to be reckoned with.

He may be a bit high-strung and over-zealous in the pursuit of his endeavors. Jackson always seems to be in a hurry and has the ability to evaluate situations quickly. Stonewall Jackson has a brilliant mind and possibly could invent something.
