Hugh Grant
challenges and difficulties

Hugh Grant has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Hugh is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Hugh Grant often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.

There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Grant's which may inhibit him a great deal. Hugh Grant must avoid becoming heavy and cynical, or becoming a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose practicality and realism squeeze out the playful, imaginative side of life.

His fears revolve around money and material security, and Hugh Grant 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.

Hugh could find it difficult to express himself and consequently he feels inhibited and lonely at times. He tends to isolate himself from others and his relationships seem strained. Conditions in Hugh Grant's parental home may be oppressive and constrained.

He prefers to work alone rather than with other people. Content on his own, Grant tends to become inhibited when he is with others, especially women. Hugh Grant may feel that the effort required to be with others is too great and probably not even worth it.

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

His natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing his situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing his situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Hugh Grant copes with stress. Hugh Grant also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

His development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Hugh Grant to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

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

Hugh Grant should develop true self-confidence and the willingness to put himself "out there", be seen and shine. Hugh needs to be willing to take on a leading role. He needs to be a hero - a protagonist in his own story - by cultivating the courageous, active, and positive masculine qualities he possesses. Doing creative work that he is proud of - anything that comes from Grant's heart and bears the stamp of Grant's individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than he is a way for Hugh Grant to grow and become more whole himself.
