Bernardo Guillermo
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 Guillermo. Bernardo Guillermo 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 Bernardo.

His attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Bernardo Guillermo 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, Bernardo 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 Bernardo Guillermo may feel that life or God will punish him if he does not watch his step!

Somewhat shy, Bernardo finds it difficult to relate to people and tends to withdraw from others. Since it is hard for Bernardo Guillermo to establish relationships, he would rather be by himself. Bernardo prefers everything to be simple or plain and prefers a more humble and secluded life.

Sometimes circumstances appear to be working against Bernardo, and he may have to confront major challenges. Bernardo Guillermo will probably have to work harder than others in order to succeed, thereby rendering him hard and cold hearted in his decision-making.

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

Instinctively he is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Bernardo stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Bernardo Guillermo has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that he must be self-reliant and that only he can come up with the answers he needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate him from others, or make Bernardo Guillermo feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Bernardo Guillermo calls social "games" do not come naturally to him. Bernardo Guillermo needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

It is in any involvements he has with teams, clubs, organizations, networks, and the like that Bernardo Guillermo is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above need to be channeled into some sort of group effort or experience, or have some impact on society at large.

Some of his relationships tend to be a bit peculiar and Bernardo should beware of becoming involved with bad company. Bernardo Guillermo could be easily lured by others to take part in dubious or underhanded schemes.
