Weird Al Yankovic
motivation

In addition to Weird Al's rather conservative and self-controlled demeanor (mentioned in the previous chapter), he has a highly developed sense of aesthetics, poise and gracefulness, as described below. Weird Al has refined taste and manners, but he may find it difficult to really let his hair down or deviate from certain internal constraints. Weird Al Yankovic has a knack for keeping things simple yet beautiful.

Harmony and balance are his keynotes. Weird Al Yankovic instinctively understands the need to accommodate other people's interests and desires, and he is always fair and willing to meet others half way. Tactful, diplomatic, and quite socially aware, Weird Al does all he can to avoid conflict and discord. His spirit is one of cooperation and compromise, and he often achieves through charm and discretion what would have been impossible to achieve with a direct, forceful approach.

Getting along with and pleasing others may be too important to Yankovic since he can be too dependent on the approval and opinions of other to make his own decisions. Yankovic will rarely act without seeking the counsel and feedback of other people. He prefers sharing and doing things with others rather than on his own. Being alone feels very unnatural to Weird Al Yankovic, and he has a strong need for a partner and intimate one-on-one relationships.

Weird Al Yankovic invests a great deal of his energy in personal love relationships and he is very idealistic and romantic about marriage. Weird Al Yankovic seeks a partner who is his equal intellectually, and who is capable of a mental relationship as well as a physical and emotional one. He makes a thoughtful, considerate friend or lover, and he enjoys the traditional symbols of love - courtship, flowers, etc. Yankovic perceives relationships like an art that requires time, attention and creative effort. Weird Al Yankovic appreciates a partner who is subtle and polished, never coarse or blunt.

Fairness and equality, both in his personal relationships and in the world, are extremely important to him. If Weird Al Yankovic fights about anything, it is often about something he feels is unfair and unbalanced. Balance is very important to Weird Al. He believes in moderation in all things and avoids fanaticism and extremism at all costs.

Weird Al Yankovic also has a strong need for beautiful, harmonious surroundings and a natural sense of artistic style and grace, which is reflected in the way Yankovic dresses and furnishes his home and workspace. Everything must be aesthetically pleasing and appropriate. Working with people as a counselor, advisor, consultant, or negotiator, or in an artistic field such as design or photography would be fulfilling to him.

His career, reputation and public image are very important to Yankovic. Weird Al Yankovic has a strong desire to be influential or make his mark on the world. He is not satisfied with the personal sphere alone; his ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for his unique effort and gifts. Weird Al Yankovic may undervalue the personal or inner facet of life.

He is assertive, energetic, active, courageous and vital. Weird Al Yankovic has a very strong physical drive that expresses itself as sexuality and passion, a desire to compete with others, and a tendency to fight. Weird Al Yankovic has a victorious spirit and the will to win.

While Weird Al Yankovic does have a strong drive, he frequently holds himself back. One of his challenges lies in learning to endure frustration and to patiently overcome the obstacles in his life (or his own internal caution and resistance!).

Weird Al Yankovic has a healthy amount of self-control and self-discipline. Yankovic also radiates a rather responsible, trustworthy, solid feeling about himself which will win him the confidence of others, especially his superiors.

Along with his energy and drive, Weird Al Yankovic has high ideals and an active fantasy life. There is a dreamer and an idealist in Yankovic, as well as a doer and a fighter. Weird Al wants to win but not at the expense of others, and this may be somewhat of a dilemma for him.

While he is realistic and conscientious (or overly conscientious), as described above, Weird Al Yankovic also has an otherworldly, dreamy, or mystically-inclined side, as described below.

Sensitive and imaginative, he is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits and to mysticism. Weird Al Yankovic is impressionable and receptive, and often has experiences that are unusual and unexplainable by the rational mind. Weird Al has an abundance of dreams, visions and longings, but does not always have the concentrated will and stamina to make them materialize. Gentle, idealistic and peace loving, Weird Al often seeks to avoid the harsh realities of life. Weird Al has an ethereal quality about him.

It could be hard for Weird Al Yankovic to face up to his mistakes because of his insecurity and self-doubt. His early years may have been undermined by poor relationships with one or both of his parents who may have been ill, weak or alcoholic.
