Kanye West
challenges and difficulties

He is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing himself freely and openly is not easy for West. Kanye West tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of his "performance" is an important task for Kanye.

He may have nebulous but ever-present guilt and fears that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Kanye West does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend himself from its dangers and its unknowns. Kanye West must learn to overcome his ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

Kanye West becomes tense and upset rather easily. He becomes irritated by the unwillingness of others to make changes. In his eagerness to see his inspirations materialize, West is inclined to forego tact and diplomacy in favor of achieving his goals. His occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

At times circumstances seem to be pushing against Kanye, and he may have to withstand severe challenges. Kanye West will probably have to work harder than others in order to succeed, turning him hard and cold hearted in his decisions because of it.

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

Social skills and graces and what Kanye West calls social "games" do not come naturally to him. Kanye West 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 way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Kanye West is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In West's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, he needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

West always looks to establish relationships with groups or associations and has the ability to blend in unobtrusively. Kanye West has a way of integrating others needs and feelings, at the same time realizing and considering the proceedings of the association.

Kanye West has a sympathetic understanding of other people and the ability to easily adapt himself to them. His emotional fulfillment is likely to come through his relationships with others and West will probably feel a soul-affinity with many of them.

Kanye should use extra care in his relationships with people, for he could easily end up in the wrong crowd. Kanye West could be the victim of fraud and falsehood or through association may become an accessory to malicious action.
