Madeleine Renaud
challenges and difficulties

Madeleine Renaud has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Madeleine is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but she may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Madeleine Renaud 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 Renaud's which may inhibit her a great deal. Madeleine Renaud 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.

She is very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with her duty, her public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. Madeleine Renaud understands the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish anything substantial and she is capable of much self-discipline and patience once she sets her sights on a goal.

But Madeleine Renaud is very judgmental and hard on herself if she fails to attain success, and she can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize her efforts.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Madeleine Renaud instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Madeleine Renaud needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

It is easy for Madeleine Renaud to become distracted from her path by the multitude of interesting choices, possibilities, and options available to her. Madeleine Renaud needs to develop single mindedness and focus. Until Madeleine directs her 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?", she is apt to dabble, scatter her energies in many directions and engage in activities which are entertaining but ultimately neither fruitful nor enriching.

Having an overall vision for her life and aligning her daily activities so that they support rather than detract from Renaud's larger purpose in life, is a significant step toward her personal development.

It is in fostering a personal vision or philosophy of life, whether through religious or philosophical studies, education or the wisdom of distant lands or cultures that Madeleine Renaud is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Madeleine Renaud needs to cultivate the qualities described above in this endeavor. Long distance communication and involvement with foreigners is likely to be significant to Renaud.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Madeleine Renaud back, or which she is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

Staying in relationships with domineering, controlling, abusive people or being manipulative. Madeleine sometimes abuses her own power to use others to her own selfish ends.

The following are specific activities that will support Madeleine Renaud in her growth. These may or may not feel natural to Renaud, and she may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to her path to wholeness.

Madeleine Renaud should be willing to become more of a free thinker, to experiment and change, to loosen her ties to tradition and the known and to allow for new developments. She needs to practice getting involved in an area involving new techniques, rapid changes and innovation. Madeleine can be part of the avant-garde promoting such changes - be it in science, music or social relationships. Madeleine Renaud has to be willing to be different and perhaps to be considered eccentric or odd.
