Walter Lantz
motivation

Although Walter Lantz is quite proud and likes to show off and impress other people with his accomplishments and appearance (as described on the previous page) - he is really quite practical, solid, and down to earth (as discussed below). Because of this, he is likely to actually earn the right to be admired - that is, to have actually done something to be proud of.

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

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

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

World travel, foreign cultures, and studies which expand his intellectual horizons and broaden his understanding of the world are very attractive to Lantz.

Walter Lantz has a philosophical turn of mind and is concerned with seeking answers to the big questions of life or getting the overview of any situation. Abstract concepts and/or plans for the future occupy his mind much of the time.

Lantz 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, Walter Lantz also has faith and an optimistic side, which enable him to recover from the negative consequences of his excesses, and to learn from them.

However he also has a more somber side, which keeps Lantz's optimism from becoming ungrounded or overblown. Walter Lantz tends to seesaw between his faith, vision and high aspirations, and his caution and realism (or fear!). He cannot and does not rely on good luck or grace alone, and he accepts the need for hard work. His skeptical or "somber" side is described below.

Realistic and practical, Walter Lantz sets goals for himself that are modest enough for him to actually achieve. He is able to tackle long, difficult projects and see them through, for Lantz possesses self-discipline, concentration and perseverance. Walter Lantz also has a strong sense of responsibility and is very conscientious about fulfilling his obligations. Lantz often does things because he feels it is expected of him.
