Björn Borg
challenges and difficulties

Borg both yearns for, and fears, being emotionally vulnerable to others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others and letting them get to know him intimately does not come easily to Björn, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Björn Borg is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for Borg.

Björn 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, Björn Borg is very careful about joining forces, and especially his material resources, with others. Borg wants to keep his own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

Björn has an inner conflict between idealism, hope and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression due to limitations and practical realities. Björn Borg needs to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve his aspirations. Borg will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.

Once he decides what he wants to do, Björn Borg will pursue his goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for his deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Björn feel a little out of step with others. Björn Borg takes things a little more seriously and has an inclination to be somewhat of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so; as a result, others may not be aware of how deeply Björn feels and how driven he is about the things that are important to him. Björn Borg has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to him, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

Björn Borg has a sense of duty and responsibility, but may find it difficult to make up his mind and come to a decision. Borg is somewhat slow to act, and his need to be fully prepared inclines him to let good opportunities slip away at times.

He is not afraid of hard work and leaves no stone unturned in the pursuit of his objectives. Björn Borg has a strong desire to overcome any difficulties or obstacles in his way and will do this at all cost, even if it means having to use force.

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

It is easy for Björn Borg to become distracted from his path by the multitude of interesting choices, possibilities, and options available to him. Björn Borg needs to develop single mindedness and focus. Until Björn directs his attention to some of the big questions, such as "What is my life's purpose?" "What is really important to me and essential to my happiness?", he is apt to dabble, scatter his energies in many directions and engage in activities which are entertaining but ultimately neither fruitful nor enriching.

Having an overall vision for his life and aligning his daily activities so that they support rather than detract from Borg's larger purpose in life, is a significant step toward his personal development.

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 Björn Borg is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Björn Borg needs to cultivate the qualities described above in this endeavor. Long distance communication and involvement with foreigners is likely to be significant to Borg.

He is well mannered and has a kind, helpful and obliging nature. Björn Borg is very social, loves to entertain and enjoys talking with people. Björn feels mentally in tune with others and makes a good companion.

Björn Borg often tends to feel sad and may sympathize with people who are "in the same boat". He is likely to cling to old things and wants to pass on his traditions.
