Wilma Rudolph
motivation

The way Wilma Rudolph comes across to others is very congruent with her true nature so "what she sees is what you get". The description below reinforces what you read about Wilma in the previous chapter.

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

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

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

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

Her compassion, sensitivity, and imagination are Rudolph's strong points. Her 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.

Wilma Rudolph tends to get involved in the helping professions or in activities where her efforts are hidden, behind the scenes, unacknowledged, or unknown to the public. Asserting herself or getting up in front of an audience may be exceedingly uncomfortable for Rudolph.

Wilma Rudolph is loving and well loved by others, and has a strong need for relationships that offer kindness, friendship and affection. Her artistic and creative powers are also well developed and Wilma does everything in a harmonious, gracious, pleasing manner. Aesthetics are very important to Rudolph, as are her personal appearance and attractiveness.

Maintaining relationships with friends and associates is very important to Wilma Rudolph and she keeps in touch with them through her shared interests. Her friends are likely to be very supportive to Rudolph in everything she does.
