Herschel Savage
challenges and difficulties

Savage both yearns for, and fears, being emotionally vulnerable to others and experiencing deep emotional intimacy. Trusting others and letting them get to know him intimately does not come easily to Herschel, and sexual inhibitions may result from this. Herschel Savage is very self-protective and may be compulsively secretive. Learning to relinquish control in personal relationships, and to be completely open, is an important task for Savage.

His attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Herschel Savage 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, Herschel 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 Herschel Savage may feel that life or God will punish him if he does not watch his step!

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

Savage may find it difficult to relate to people and express his feelings, especially in love relationships. On the hand, Herschel Savage wants relationships yet on the other, he would rather be by himself. A sense of personal inadequacy makes Herschel withdraw from others and feel lonely as a result.

Herschel is inclined to be quite reserved and cautious in his relationships with others, yet he may also have an exaggerated regard for other peoples' views, thereby giving them more credence than they are worth.

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

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