William Baldwin
motivation

Behind William Baldwin's rather lighthearted, witty and restless demeanor described in the previous chapter, lies a sensitive, poetic soul. William "Billy" Baldwin may cover up his sensitivity with light banter and cleverness - or he may use his verbal and communication skills to express his imagination, kindness and refined sensitivity.

At heart he is very gentle, impressionable and receptive - a dreamer. The world of his imagination, feelings, and intuition is as real to William "Billy" Baldwin as anything in the outer world, though he may have trouble verbalizing or interpreting his inner experiences in a way others can understand.

Billy Baldwin shows great sensitivity and empathy toward others and often senses things psychically or intuitively which prove to be correct.

Billy Baldwin has deep compassion for the suffering of any fellow creature and he often feels the pain of others as if it were his own. William "Billy" Baldwin sympathizes with the needy, the disadvantaged and the misfits of society. He is capable of giving selflessly, living a life of devoted and compassionate service to others, as a healer, physician, social worker or minister. However, William Baldwin tends to give indiscriminately, to let others take advantage of his kindness, and to encourage the weak to remain so by becoming dependent upon him. Billy Baldwin has little sense of boundaries, or of knowing when to say "no". Moderation and self-discipline are not his strong points.

He is a lover and a peacemaker rather than a fighter, and he tries to avoid open conflict. William Baldwin will patiently ignore or "tune out" problems and hope they will go away by themselves, rather than confront them directly and William Baldwin tends to lack the positive, fighting spirit that is sometimes necessary to overcome challenges.

His gifts may also lie in the realm of the creative, artistic, or musical, for he possesses great sensitivity, inspiration and limitless imagination. William "Billy" Baldwin has a strong affinity for beauty and love.

His faults include a tendency to be lazy and negligent, and to wallow in self-pity rather than take strong, definite action to change his life for the better. He also tends to become so detached from his immediate environment that he lives in a disorderly, chaotic sort of hodgepodge, though this probably bothers those around William Baldwin more than it bothers him.

His career, reputation, and public image are very important to William Baldwin. William "Billy" Baldwin 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.

If he follows his true nature, his life is apt to be unconventional, unusual, controversial and full of insecurity and excitement.
