Daniel Baldwin
challenges and difficulties

Daniel Baldwin has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Daniel is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Daniel Baldwin 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 Baldwin's which may inhibit him a great deal. Daniel Baldwin must avoid becoming heavy and cynical, or becoming a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose practicality and realism squeeze out the playful, imaginative side of life.

Daniel Baldwin has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything he does. Caution and realism are his virtues though Daniel limits himself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in himself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find Daniel Baldwin difficult to get to know intimately, as Baldwin tends to distance himself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

His emotional life is likely to be somewhat strained and he has a tendency toward pessimism. Daniel Baldwin may not feel as close in his relationships to his loved ones as he would like to be, and it could be difficult for Daniel to give and receive love.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Daniel Baldwin 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 Daniel Baldwin 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 Daniel Baldwin copes with stress. Daniel Baldwin 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 Daniel Baldwin to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

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