Bob Fosse
challenges and difficulties

Bob Fosse has a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, he prevents himself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. Fosse is more rigid and dogmatic than he realizes. His approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Bob Fosse takes his own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if he is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

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

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

Bob Fosse 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 Bob's quality of life or that of persons in his world, is of little real value. Putting Fosse's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in his daily relationships, and in the multiple choices he makes every day, will enable Bob Fosse to really test his belief system and discover more about life.

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

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

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

Bob Fosse should develop true self-confidence and the willingness to put himself "out there", be seen and shine. Bob 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 Fosse's heart and bears the stamp of Fosse's individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than he is a way for Bob Fosse to grow and become more whole himself.
