Le Corbusier
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 Charles Jeanneret. Le Corbusier 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 Le Corbusier.

He is serious-minded and may have difficulty making light social conversation or participating in friendly, personal interchanges.

Le Corbusier tries to be strictly accurate and he is critical of people who exaggerate or talk on subjects they really know little about. Charles Jeanneret withholds his thoughts and opinions until he has thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes Le Corbusier's silence discomforts others.

His mental concentration is very good but his breadth of understanding may not be.

Le Corbusier has an inner conflict between idealism, hope, and faith in the future versus doubt and oppression by limitations and practical realities. Le Corbusier needs to develop discipline and patience in order to achieve his aspirations. Charles Jeanneret will grow by learning to accept frustration and to persevere in spite of obstacles.

Somewhat shy, Le Corbusier finds it difficult to relate to people and tends to withdraw from others. Since it is hard for Le Corbusier to establish relationships, he would rather be by himself. Le Corbusier likes everything simple or plain and prefers a more humble and secluded life.

He is somewhat pessimistic and prone to states of depression. Le Corbusier may feel like withdrawing from everything and that he is not adequately equipped to handle his life. He may need someone else's point of view to balance his overly pessimistic outlook.

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

Le Corbusier's 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 Charles Jeanneret's instinct is actually to be "one of the Indians" rather than the "chief". When under stress Le Corbusier 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 Le Corbusier should let go of this notion. Finding his own center and doing what gives him delight and energy is the most worthwhile contribution Le Corbusier can offer the world at large.

It is in his way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Le Corbusier is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In Charles Jeanneret's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, he needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

Le Corbusier has a very obliging manner and is always in search for new relationships. He is able to identify with people quite easily and probably will make many friends who can be of help to him.

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

Charles Jeanneret considers the ability to think and speak convincingly as the most powerful instrument one can possess. He always strives for intellectual control in his environment and tends to dominate his relationships. Le Corbusier has a strong desire to be the spokesman in his community.

Charles Jeanneret is inclined to seek out relationships with people who have the same interests and he has a desire to work with them toward obtaining mutually shared objectives. Some of Le Corbusier's contacts or introductions could come about suddenly.
