The Rock
motivation

Although The Rock seems accommodating, obliging, amiable and willing to compromise (as described on the previous page), he can also be enormously stubborn and immovable, as discussed below. The Rock has such a pleasant demeanor that he is able to use a combination of charm and bullying to get what he wants. He is an excellent negotiator.

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 Dwayne Johnson's course is set, he pursues it tenaciously until it is completed, stubbornly resisting any attempts to sway him from his purpose.

The Rock 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 The Rock 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, Dwayne Johnson can be enormously lazy at times and has a tendency to overindulge in good food and other earthly pleasures. The Rock 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. The Rock 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 Dwayne Johnson for support. Though he hates upheaval and sudden changes, The Rock usually maintains his poise and equanimity. The Rock 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".

The Rock 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 Dwayne Johnson's tendency to always insist upon realism and undervalue the imaginative, speculative, and fanciful - in other words, The Rock lacks the ability to play with ideas and possibilities, and to open his mind to new horizons.

The Rock invests a tremendous amount of his creative energy into his relationships with others, particularly his marriage or other close partnerships. The Rock feels that he needs others in order to be all that he can be, and he is disinclined to solitary activities and endeavors.

Working with people on a one-to-one basis to promote mutual understanding, harmony, and satisfaction is an area in which The Rock can really excel. Counseling or negotiating are talents of his.

The Rock has lofty aspirations but does not struggle or labor to achieve them. His self-confidence and inner harmony attract success and benefit him in an almost magical way. His optimism and cheerful generosity also win Dwayne Johnson many allies and successes in life.

At times The Rock may feel an uncontrollable urge to radically alter his direction in life or to act in ways that seem eccentric or at least highly atypical. When his life becomes too predictable, The Rock may do something to upset the status quo, sometimes without realizing why or how he is doing it. These impulses may seem at odds with his conscious intent and desires for himself, and can be unsettling. However, there is a streak of unconventionality and creative genius in The Rock that needs to be expressed now and then.

Dwayne Johnson is very thorough and takes his time thinking things through. He enjoys games that require a lot of concentration and thought, like chess for example. The Rock also could find traveling very rewarding.

Dwayne Johnson depends a great deal on other people's reactions to him and rarely acts until he sees how he affects others. The Rock must learn to be direct and straightforward, rather than evasive or manipulative. The Rock should also learn to rely heavily on his hunches.
