Friedrich Nietzsche
challenges and difficulties

Friedrich has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave him feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with his peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for Nietzsche.

His fears revolve around money and material security, and Friedrich Nietzsche works very hard to ensure that his assets are solid. He may be very conservative, even stingy, with his money because he is afraid there will not be enough. He may turn this fear around and become very shrewd about investments and financial matters.

Somewhat inhibited in initiating relationships with others, Friedrich Nietzsche may prefer to be by himself. Friedrich could feels that he does not fit in very well with others and as a result may have difficulties in team-work with groups or associations.

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

It is easy for Friedrich Nietzsche to become distracted from his path by the multitude of interesting choices, possibilities, and options available to him. Friedrich Nietzsche needs to develop single mindedness and focus. Until Friedrich 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 Nietzsche's larger purpose in life, is a significant step toward his personal development.

It is deep within himself, as Friedrich Nietzsche faces his own demons, fears, and struggles - those aspects of life that are not easily or readily shared, those parts of his life that Friedrich Nietzsche keeps hidden from public view where he is most likely to wrestle with these issues.

The qualities described above can also be beneficially channeled into some sort of charitable work, altruistic service or ministering to people in need.

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

Friedrich Nietzsche should care for and nourish children, plants, pets or other people. He needs to make a home, create and sustain strong relationships with his family or a community that can support him and give him a sense of safety and belonging.

Friedrich Nietzsche should develop his listening skills and deepen his understanding and appreciation of women and their perspective. Friedrich Nietzsche has to learn to trust his own feelings, intuitions and emotional needs. He needs to care for himself in an accepting, non-judgmental way.

It is in Friedrich Nietzsche's best interest to take all that is good and helpful from his past and use it in a new way. (If he is so inclined, Friedrich may want to explore the potential of past-life regression to tap into gifts he has already developed).
