Gower Champion
challenges and difficulties

Gower Champion has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. He is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that he discourages himself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Champion knows it should be done.

He frequently over analyzes or picks things apart mentally. Gower Champion may also be somewhat of a hypochondriac. Gower must learn that he does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax his unnecessarily high or strict standards.

His attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Gower Champion may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to him. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Gower may tenaciously cling to his grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.

His overall outlook on life is serious, and Gower Champion may feel that life or God will punish him if he does not watch his step!

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Gower Champion pursues his aims in a systematic, disciplined and thorough manner, and he is willing to take his time, advancing slowly and steadily toward his goal.

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

Gower should take care not to trust others too blindly. Some of his friends or associates may be untruthful and try to deceive him, resulting in great disappointments or even losses for Champion.

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

Social skills and graces and what Gower Champion calls social "games" do not come naturally to him. Gower Champion 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 public life and career that Gower Champion is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The latter will impact Champion's reputation and standing in his community or professional circle, as well as how Gower Champion achieves his important life goals and aspirations.

Champion always looks to establish relationships with groups or associations and has the ability to blend in unobtrusively. Gower Champion has a way of integrating the needs and feelings of others, while taking into consideration the proceedings of the association.
