Chad McQueen
challenges and difficulties

Chad McQueen has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Chad is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack the capacity for joy and play. Chad McQueen 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 McQueen's that may inhibit him a great deal. Chad McQueen 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.

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

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Chad McQueen 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 Chad McQueen underestimates what is possible, and holds himself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.

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

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

His natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing his situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing his situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Chad McQueen copes with stress. Chad McQueen also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

His development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Chad McQueen to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

The arena he is most likely to wrestle with these issues is in playful self-expression, games or sports, and creativity. Chad McQueen should try to develop any artistic, expressive, creative potentials he feels he possesses, utilizing the qualities described above.

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

Chad McQueen's path to wholeness involves confronting his dark and hidden recesses, bringing them out into the open, and transforming himself in the process. Healing abilities develop as a result of McQueen's willingness to experience and transform deep emotions such as grief, anger, and pain. Furthermore, bringing light to the darkness and pain in the world without becoming overwhelmed by it is a significant challenge for Chad.
