Billy Ray Cyrus
challenges and difficulties

Billy Ray Cyrus has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Billy Ray is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack the capacity for joy and play. Billy Ray Cyrus often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.

There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Cyrus' that may inhibit him a great deal. Billy Ray Cyrus must avoid becoming cumbersome and cynical, or a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose sense of practicality and realism rob him of the playful, imaginative side of life.

He may have vague but ever-present feelings of guilt and fear that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Billy Ray Cyrus does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend himself from its dangers and its unknowns. Billy Ray Cyrus must learn to overcome his ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Billy Ray Cyrus pursues his aims in a systematic, disciplined and thorough manner, and he is willing to take his time, advancing slowly and steadily toward his goal.

Sometimes Billy Ray Cyrus underestimates what is possible, and holds himself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.

The side of Billy Ray Cyrus that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with his urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension as a result, and at times Billy Ray finds it hard to relax. Billy Ray Cyrus may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on himself, in an attempt to strictly control his "wild" impulses. Cyrus' task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in his life.

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

Billy Ray Cyrus' path lies in his development as an individual, the discovery of his own strengths and joys, the capacity to express his uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd. This involves becoming a leader, even though Cyrus' instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress Billy Ray Cyrus is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, he may believe that striving to do his personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but Billy Ray should let go of this notion. Finding his own center and doing what gives him delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Billy Ray Cyrus can offer the world at large.

It is in his marriage and other intimate, one-to-one relationships that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. He may see the qualities that he needs to develop more fully (described above) in his partner. It is important for Billy Ray Cyrus to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in his life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them himself. Billy Ray Cyrus has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about himself through others.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Billy Ray Cyrus back, or which he is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Being bound to past events and experiences because of his desire to belong, deep attachments to family and the familiar (even if they are neither nourishing nor helpful), the desire to nurture or be nurtured by others, and a strong resistance to cutting the umbilical cord.

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

Billy Ray Cyrus should develop true self-confidence and the willingness to put himself "out there", be seen and shine. Billy Ray needs to be willing to take on a leading role. He needs to be a hero - a protagonist in his own story - by cultivating the courageous, active, and positive masculine qualities he possesses. Doing creative work that he is proud of - anything that comes from Cyrus' heart and bears the stamp of Cyrus' individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than he is a way for Billy Ray Cyrus to grow and become more whole himself.

Billy Ray Cyrus should be willing to become more of a free thinker, to experiment and change, to loosen his ties to tradition and the known and to allow for new developments. He needs to practice getting involved in an area involving new techniques, rapid changes and innovation. Billy Ray can be part of the avant-garde promoting such changes - be it in science, music or social relationships. Billy Ray Cyrus has to be willing to be different and perhaps to be considered eccentric or odd.
