Félicien-César David
challenges and difficulties

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

Félicien-César David takes his commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. His strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes César a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but he often feels that marriage or any binding commitment between him and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seeks to avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for Félicien-César David and it may seem that he is always "working on" his marriage rather than enjoying it. However, César will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

Félicien-César David takes his ideals and dreams very seriously and goes through periods of fervent dedication to a lofty ideal or vision. Félicien has the ability to acquire true spiritual or imaginative insight, but he can also become so involved in his imaginative, idealistic pursuits that he looses perspective and develops feelings of alienation and isolation.

Once he decides what he wants to do, Félicien-César David will pursue his goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for his deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Félicien feel a little out of step with others. Félicien-César David 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 Félicien feels and how driven he is about the things that are important to him. Félicien-César David 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.

Félicien may find it difficult to express himself, thereby feeling inhibited and lonely at times. He tends to isolate himself from others and his relationships come across as strained. Conditions in Félicien-César David's parental home may be oppressive and strained.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Félicien-César David 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 Félicien-César David 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, Félicien stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Félicien-César David 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 Félicien-César David feel that "it is me against the world".

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

It is in his work and his relationships with co-workers, employers, and employees that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Integrating the qualities described above into César's work and daily routine will lead to greater satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.

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