Tim Buckley
motivation

Behind Buckley's quiet, unassuming and cautious front (described in the previous chapter) lies a much more unconventional, liberal-thinking, freedom-loving soul, described below.

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, Tim Buckley 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, Buckley can be enormously stubborn, opinionated and inflexible on a one-to-one level. Tim 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. Tim Buckley 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. Tim Buckley seems rather self-sufficient and emotionally detached because he is capable of putting aside his personal feelings and viewing things dispassionately. But once Tim makes up his mind on an issue, it is difficult to dissuade him, and he can be rather dogmatic.

Tim Buckley 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. Tim Buckley stays current and up to date, and responds to contemporary cultural trends, both in terms of personal style and ideas. When young, Tim Buckley was very influenced by peer pressure and by all the "latest crazes". Tim 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.

His energies are directed to either perfecting his techniques, skills, and abilities in work, or in "perfecting", refining, and improving himself as a person. Critical analysis and attention to minute detail are intrinsic in either process. The urge to bring about a state of wholeness or optimal functioning is a strong motivation of Tim Buckley's, and he is quite a perfectionist!

Buckley can easily become overly identified or involved with the function he performs, with his work, or with his own health and "growth process".

Tim has big aspirations and the desire to succeed in life in a grand way. Tim Buckley tends to exaggerate, promise more than is feasible and misjudge by being overly optimistic. However, he never gives up on his hopes for the future. Buckley tends to be restless and discontent with the responsibilities and limitations of life.
