Terri Lyne Carrington
motivation

Although Terri Lyne Carrington appears to be modest and shy (as described on the previous page), at heart she has a strong need to shine and be the center of attention. She is very self-conscious and self-critical however, and she often shies away from the limelight. Her dilemma lies in the fact that she wants to take center stage, but doubts her abilities. Terri Lyne Carrington needs to avoid being overly critical of herself and to practice hard at whatever she does so that she feels fully confident.

Proud and intensely individual, Terri Lyne Carrington really wants to stand out, to be the very best she can be, and to be recognized and appreciated for her unique contributions. Doing something well and being respected for it is extremely important to her, and she cannot tolerate being relegated to the background, taking orders from others, or being "just one of the team". Terri Lyne Carrington must put her personal stamp on whatever she does, and direct her own course in life. Terri Lyne Carrington needs to have a place where she can shine, express herself creatively, and be the one in charge.

For Terri Lyne Carrington, it is true that "the entire world's a stage" and she secretly (or perhaps not so secretly) desires to be the star or hero of the play. Terri Lyne 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. She needs someone to believe in her and her dreams. Though Carrington appears radiantly self-confident and independent, she is actually very dependent on the affirmation, love and recognition of others. She cannot bear going unnoticed or unappreciated.

Terri Lyne Carrington also loves wholeheartedly and generously and really knows how to make the person she loves feel special. Terri Lyne Carrington loves the magic of "being in love" and knows how to keep the romance alive in her relationships. She is also immensely loyal and will defend her loved ones and stand by them to the end - as long as they never offend her pride or betray her trust. However, Terri Lyne Carrington likes to be the strong one in her relationships and she really does not share the leading role very easily. Ideally, Terri Lyne needs to find a person who is as strong-willed as she is, but who will not try to dominate or compete with her.

Carrington's strengths are her zest and love for life, her creative power and her warm and generous heart. Her primary fault is her tendency to be very egocentric, and so concerned with the impression she is making and with her own creative self-expression that she forgets there is another, larger world that does not revolve around her.

Leading groups and classes, and being involved in community efforts, social activities, events or movements are areas where Terri Lyne Carrington really shines and expresses her creativity. An awareness of politics or the larger social impact of individual actions is natural to her.

Terri Lyne Carrington often feels that she is at cross purposes with herself, for her conscious intentions and desires conflict with her subconscious emotional needs and drives. She is torn in two different directions. Terri Lyne has difficulty satisfying both her need to be an individual and her need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. Moreover, Terri Lyne sends out mixed messages so people do not always know how to respond to her or what Terri Lyne really wants, thereby creating confusion or conflict in close relationships.

Terri Lyne Carrington has a strong will and the desire to be successful no matter what obstacles or resistance she has to overcome. Whatever she does, she knows what she wants to get out of it and drives toward that end with great vigor.
