António Guterres
challenges and difficulties

He is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing himself freely and openly is not easy for Guterres. António Guterres tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of his "performance" is an important task for António.

António may be plagued by fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death. He strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for him.

On another level entirely, António Guterres is very careful about joining forces, and especially his material resources, with others. Guterres wants to keep his own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

His faith, optimism, and sense of possibilities are tempered by a great deal of caution, and often doubt or skepticism as well. Whatever hopes or visions António Guterres has for his life are firmly held in check by his sense of reality. At times he may wish for more freedom, but António also fears it and holds back. António Guterres may blame practical limitations, some external condition or the prevailing Authority for his own inhibitions.

Very cautious and reserved, António Guterres may find it difficult to express himself. He is a bit inhibited around others and does not seem to derive much cooperation from them, which causes António to be disappointed.

He is inclined to be rather serious and withdrawn. As he feels very uncomfortable in the presence of others, António Guterres shies away from social contacts and prefers to be by himself.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which António Guterres 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 António Guterres needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Seeking harmonious interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and togetherness, as well as the desire to please or appease other people, are drives that come very naturally to António Guterres - so much so that he seeks them out at his own expense. When he is under stress, Guterres tends to look outside himself for approval or answers, and he leans on others too much. Therefore, developing self-reliance, and the courage to look inwardly for answers and forge his own path through life is a key factor in his self-development.

António Guterres is often tempted to be less than completely straightforward about his intentions or desires, and he can become enmeshed in a quagmire of "little white lies". Stark honesty - both inward and toward others - is the only way out! This, however, leads to the need to confront some of Guterres' most deeply ingrained fears, such as "what if they do not like me?" and "what if I have to go through this alone?".

António Guterres needs to cultivate his ability to be assertive, take initiative and act on his own behalf. Directness and self-reliance are imperative.

It is in trying to strike a balance between Guterres' inner, personal life and his career or involvement with the world at large that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. António Guterres needs to focus attention on his home and family situation, and create a secure inner anchor.

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

António Guterres should become a warrior and cultivate a positive, victorious, active approach to life and to any problems he faces. It is in Guterres' best interest to act on his own behalf instead of stalling, waiting or hoping someone else will do it for him. António Guterres needs to assert himself openly and courageously and not to be afraid to make mistakes or stumble; there are bound to be a few trial runs to any new initiative. António needs to foster a healthy fighting spirit, pick himself up, and go! He also should learn to appreciate conflict and confrontation as a means to grow.
