Al Capone
challenges and difficulties

Al Capone has a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, he prevents himself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. Capone is more rigid and dogmatic than he realizes. His approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Al Capone takes his own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if he is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

His attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Al Capone may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to him. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Al may tenaciously cling to his grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.

His overall outlook on life is serious, and Al Capone may feel that life or God will punish him if he does not watch his step!

The conflict between spiritual needs and ideals versus material desires or limitations of the "real world" is one of Al's ongoing challenges. It may be hard for Al Capone to sort out his true values, especially when he is enmeshed in the demands of mundane life. Times of retreat, isolation, meditation and prayer could be helpful to Capone in this regard. Finding inner strength through spirituality and attunement to a higher source is ultimately the answer for him.

He is inclined to be somewhat timid and afraid to start something on his own, preferring that someone else tell him what to do. Al Capone can easily be deterred from pursuing his goals, which makes his advancement in life rather slow.

He is quite cool and reserved in matters of love relationships and tends to hold back his inclination for love. Somewhat inhibited with regard to relationships, Al Capone is inclined to feel that he is better off staying by himself.

Al Capone tends to have a pessimistic outlook and he seems to be plagued by deep inner conflicts, which could severely undermine his strength. Self-critical and uncertain about his goals, Al feels that he cannot live up to his ideals and ends up disappointed.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Al Capone instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that he is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for him. The direction Al Capone needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Al Capone has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that he is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Al Capone needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, he has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, he may encourage others to depend on him emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Al Capone needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

It is in his public life and career that Al Capone is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Capone's reputation and standing in his community or professional circle, as well as how Al Capone achieves his important life goals and aspirations.

The following are specific activities that will support Al Capone in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Capone, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Al Capone has to learn to communicate and express himself through the written or spoken word. It is best for Al to study, learn skills and develop his intellectual interests and capacities. Capone needs to become involved in sharing and exchanging information with others and in developing his intellectual reasoning ability. Al Capone should practice using his mind, his thinking skills and his ability to be objective. "Work smarter, not harder" might be a motto for him.

Writing, teaching, recording, transcribing, dialoguing, negotiating, mediating, communicating, or facilitating clear communication are significant activities for Al Capone to pursue.

Al Capone seems to be a loner, rather serious and quiet. Perhaps he is burdened by family conditions that weigh him down. Al prefers to associate with older or more authoritative people and is happier in a subordinate position.
