Bill Clinton
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 Clinton. Bill Clinton 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 Bill.

He is very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with his duty, his public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. Bill Clinton understands the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish anything substantial and he is capable of much self-discipline and patience once he sets his sights on a goal.

But Bill Clinton is very judgmental and hard on himself if he fails to attain success, and he can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize his efforts.

His outlook on life is inclined to be somewhat negative and Bill Clinton tries to avoid relationships and social interaction as much as possible. There is a morose side to Bill's nature that makes him feel that no one cares about him, that life is difficult and perhaps not even worthwhile.

Bill Clinton tends to suppress his feelings and may be a bit inhibited in love relationships. Often times he may feel rejected or he may give the impression of rejecting others himself. Perhaps his mother or father has a difficult time showing their affection.

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

Bill Clinton needs to take what he has learned (either through formal education or his own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Bill's quality of life or that of persons in his world, is of little real value. Putting Clinton's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in his daily relationships, and in the multiple choices he makes every day, will enable Bill Clinton to really test his belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, Bill Clinton is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Bill Clinton needs to cultivate his ability to live in the present!

It is in fostering a personal vision or philosophy of life, whether through religious or philosophical studies, education or the wisdom of distant lands or cultures, that Bill Clinton is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Bill Clinton needs to cultivate the qualities described above in this endeavor. Long distance communication and involvement with foreigners is likely to be significant to Clinton.

The following are specific activities that will support Bill Clinton in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Clinton, and often there is some feeling of resistance or initial awkwardness about doing these things, but they are important on his path to wholeness.

Bill Clinton should be willing to become more freethinking, to experiment and change, to loosen his attachment to tradition and the known and to allow new developments to occur. He needs to practice getting involved in an area where new techniques, rapid changes and innovation are happening. Bill can be a part of the avant-garde who is promoting such changes, whether this is in science, music, or social relationships. Bill Clinton has to be willing to be different and perhaps considered eccentric or odd.
