Stuart Townsend
motivation

Because Stuart Townsend seems to be such a gentle, tolerant, accepting person (as mentioned in the previous chapter), he can startle people with some of his very pointed, bluntly honest statements. Even though he is sensitive and empathetic, he can also be quite tactless at times. His good will and good intentions, however, usually prevail. With Townsend's free-flowing imagination (described earlier) and his great restlessness (discussed below), he is apt to be a wanderer, and perhaps somewhat of an escapist.

He is a gambler and an adventurer at heart, one who loves to take risks, to discover and explore new worlds, and to travel the untried path rather than the safe, reliable one. He is independent, freedom loving, and often very restless. He needs a lifestyle that provides opportunities for travel, movement, change, and meeting new people. A steady routine, which offers much in the way of security but little in the way of space and freedom, is odious to him.

To Stuart Townsend, life is a journey and an adventure that is endlessly interesting and rich with possibilities, and it may be difficult for him to decide where to focus his attention and efforts. Stuart Townsend probably traveled around and experimented with many different paths before he settled on a particular career. Or he may go from one project to the next, for once the challenge and vital interest is gone, he is very quick to move on. Commitment, discipline, focus and concentration are not his strong points. Townsend can be irresponsible and disinclined to take on the burdens and limitations of adult life.

An incurable optimist, he has big dreams, aspirations and hopes for the future and is usually engaged in pursuing a far-off goal. Stuart Townsend has a great deal of faith and trust in life and failures do not crush his spirit. Townsend always bounces back from disappointments, often with another bright dream or scheme. Stuart Townsend has a sporting, playful attitude toward life and he is philosophical about his mistakes. Stuart has the ability to sense future trends, to see the big picture, and he likes to theorize and speculate. However, he gets annoyed with all the details and practical requirements required to implement his theories.

Townsend expresses himself in a very open, direct and straightforward manner and is often blunt and tactless as well. Because he does not take himself too seriously, he may not realize how deeply his candid statements can wound more sensitive souls. In fact, though he may not realize it, Stuart's insensitivity and lack of understanding regarding others' feelings is probably one of his worst faults.

Stuart Townsend enjoys being in close relationships but also needs freedom and he does not do well with a possessive, clinging, or emotionally demanding partner. He is quite generous, and heartily dislikes pettiness in others. Someone who shares his ideals, his sense of fun and his zest for life would be the right companion for Townsend.

His career, reputation, and public image are very important to Townsend. Stuart Townsend has a strong desire to be influential or make his mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy him; his ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for his unique effort and gifts. Stuart Townsend may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

He is an original! Stuart Townsend radiates a sort of electrical excitement about the things he is interested in, and conveys this to others, but he also gets bored rather quickly. Stuart does not mind being a bit unusual or breaking a few rules either.

Stuart Townsend probably has great intellectual ability and curiosity. Stuart never seem to run out of ideas and always welcomes the study of new subjects, the more abstract the better. But he also has the basic sense to translate abstract ideas into practical reality.

Stuart Townsend has a strong need for intellectual relationships and associations and he likes to share his intellectual interests with others. This could be in meetings or by joining various clubs and organizations.

He is creative and talented, but must develop self-discipline to channel his energies productively. Stuart Townsend may feel that everything is going to be all right, that he cannot lose and may take risks by gambling or speculating, which could result in disappointments.
