Will Ferrell
motivation

Although Ferrell may seem quite poised, even-tempered, balanced and harmonious (as mentioned in the previous chapter), he is actually rather moody and emotional. Inside, he is much more subjective and biased in his attitudes than his fair-minded, reasonable demeanor may imply.

Will has powerful emotional attachments to the past, his family, his childhood, places he associates with safety and security, and his beginnings. It is very important to Ferrell to maintain a connection with his roots and heritage and keep family bonds strong. Loyal, devoted, and sentimental, Ferrell tends to cling to whatever is dear to him - be it a person, a familiar place, or a cherished possession.

He is sympathetic, nurturing, supportive and very sensitive to the emotional needs of other people. Will likes to be needed and to care for others, and he often worries about the people he loves. Will Ferrell has a very strong need for a sense of belonging and acceptance, and much of his life centers on his home. He is more concerned about people and their feelings than with power, achievement, or position in society. Kindness, consideration and tenderness are more meaningful to Will Ferrell than any sort of honor the world can bestow.

He is primarily emotional and his views are often dominated by his feelings and his own personal, subjective experiences, rather than reason, logic or abstract principles. It is difficult for him to judge situations fairly and objectively because his personal sympathies and loyalties usually factor in. Will Ferrell takes things very personally and sometimes builds a wall around himself to shield himself from pain and rejection. Will Ferrell feels rather shy and vulnerable at heart. He also tends to be moody and experiences frequent mood swings. Will Ferrell needs to have a place and time in his life to withdraw, introspect, dream and replenish himself; otherwise Will Ferrell becomes cranky and unhappy with those around him.

Will Ferrell functions in an instinctive, irrational manner and likes to immerse himself in creative activities where he can express his feelings, imagination and instincts. Ferrell often loves to cook, since it can be both creative and a way to nurture and nourish others. Will Ferrell also has a great affinity for music, because it evokes and communicates feelings that may be difficult or impossible to put into words.

His compassion, sensitivity, and imagination are Ferrell's strong points. His faults include an inability to let go of the past and move forward, clannishness and prejudice, and a tendency for self-pity when facing hardship.

His career, reputation, and public image are very important to Ferrell. Will Ferrell has a strong desire to be influential or make his mark on the world. The merely personal sphere does not satisfy him; his ambitions include making a major contribution and receiving broad recognition for his unique effort and gifts. Will Ferrell may undervalue the personal or inner side of life.

Will Ferrell feels that he has the support of his family or others in his environment for his creative efforts and personal goals, which enables him to act with confidence. He is able to satisfy both his need to be an individual and his need for caring relationships and a sense of belonging. He is in harmony with himself and is therefore an effective individual.

He is direct, energetic, sometimes aggressive and combative. Will Ferrell often feels that he needs to fight to get what he wants, and he tends to have a "me-first" attitude that angers or irritates others. He is hasty, restless, impatient and sometimes reckless.

He is an original! Will Ferrell radiates a sort of electrical excitement about the things he is interested in, and conveys this to others, but he also gets bored rather quickly. Will does not mind being a bit unusual or breaking a few rules either.

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

He is imaginative and sensitive to anything colorful, beautiful or magical. He is attracted to artistic and creative pursuits, music and mysticism. His spiritual values color Will's whole perspective and approach to life. He is idealistic and perhaps impractical.
