Franklin D. Roosevelt
challenges and difficulties

Roosevelt 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. Franklin D. Roosevelt 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 Franklin D. Roosevelt feels that he does not have "enough" to make him feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) he has!

Fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death may plague Franklin. He strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for him.

On another level entirely, Franklin D. Roosevelt is very careful about joining forces, and especially his material resources, with others. Roosevelt wants to keep his own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

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

It is easy for Franklin D. Roosevelt to become distracted from his path by the multitude of interesting choices, possibilities, and options available to him. Franklin D. Roosevelt needs to develop single mindedness and focus. Until Franklin directs his attention to some of the big questions, such as "What is my life's purpose?" "What is really important to me and essential to my happiness?", he is apt to dabble, scatter his energies in many directions and engage in activities which are entertaining but ultimately neither fruitful nor enriching.

Having an overall vision for his life and aligning his daily activities so that they support rather than detract from Roosevelt's larger purpose in life, is a significant step toward his personal development.

It is in his way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Franklin D. Roosevelt is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In Roosevelt's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, he needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

Franklin D. Roosevelt has a tendency to shy away from other people, and he reacts toward others in an almost fearful way. Roosevelt seems to lack confidence in himself and for this reason may feel that he lacks the ability to adapt easily into relationships with others.

Roosevelt co-operate well with others and has the ability to give and receive stimulating suggestions. Franklin D. Roosevelt is always receptive to new ideas and ready for spontaneous group efforts. He seems to have an instant recall of things and is likely to act just as quickly.

Roosevelt is able to achieve good cooperation with people, and others see him as a welcome comrade. Franklin likes to work hand in hand with everyone and has an excellent sense of team-work.
