Cliff Richard
challenges and difficulties

Richard either overvalues or undervalues his possessions and assets. He can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or ascetic. Cliff Richard may deny himself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of his labors. He may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times Cliff Richard feels that he does not have "enough" to make him feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) he has!

Richard is generally not a "joiner" and he does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest. If Cliff Richard does participate in a group, he may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or he may simply feel that he does not fit in with the others.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Cliff Richard better than being with groups of his own peers.

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Cliff Richard pursues his aims in a systematic, disciplined, and thorough manner, and he is willing to takes his time, advancing slowly and steadily on his way towards his goal.

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

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

Instinctively he is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Cliff stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Cliff Richard has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that he must be self-reliant and that only he can come up with the answers he needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate him from others, or make Cliff Richard feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Cliff Richard calls social "games" do not come naturally to him. Cliff Richard needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

The arena he is most likely to wrestle with these issues is in playful self-expression, games or sports, and creativity. Cliff Richard 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 Cliff Richard in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Richard, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Cliff Richard should become a warrior and cultivate a positive, victorious, active approach to life and to any problems he faces. It is in Richard's best interest to act on his own behalf instead of stalling, waiting or hoping someone else will do it for him. Cliff Richard needs to assert himself openly and courageously and not to be afraid to make mistakes or stumble; there are bound to be a few trial runs to any new initiative. Cliff needs to foster a healthy fighting spirit, pick himself up, and go! He also should learn to appreciate conflict and confrontation as a means to grow.

He is very social, loves artistic events and entertainment, and has the ability to show his feelings without reservation. Cliff Richard probably found joy in learning things early in life and he keeps in close relationships with his family and other relations.
