John Casablancas
challenges and difficulties

Casablancas doubts his own intelligence and mental capacities, and he may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. John is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for him.

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

He is serious and sincere about his interests, does not accept superficial answers and is not easily placated. John wants his inspirations to become reality and he does not mind upsetting a few apple carts in the process. John Casablancas becomes impatient with others for being hesitant to implement new ideas and take action, and his occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

John Casablancas strongly rebels against any restrictions and may have the desire to break away and overthrow any thoughts of responsibility. On the other hand, limitations in his life could suddenly wane, thereby leaving Casablancas free to do his own thing.

John Casablancas' path lies in his development as an individual, the discovery of his own strengths and joys, the capacity to express his uniqueness and to stand out in a crowd. This involves becoming a leader, even though Casablancas' instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress John Casablancas is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, he may believe that striving to do his personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but John should let go of this notion. Finding his own center and doing what gives him delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution John Casablancas can offer the world at large.

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