Matthew Broderick
challenges and difficulties

Matthew has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave him feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with his peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for Broderick.

Fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death may plague Matthew. He strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for him.

On another level entirely, Matthew Broderick is very careful about joining forces, and especially his material resources, with others. Broderick wants to keep his own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

Matthew Broderick strives and struggles a great deal with his ideals or spiritual aspirations. He may go through periods of self-denial, asceticism, and in-depth study of religious philosophy and spiritual practices, or he may lose heart and become cynical about religious ideals; however, he can never quite divorce himself from his idealistic concerns.

Matthew Broderick tends to be his own worst enemy, demanding inhuman perfection of himself and harshly criticizing or persecuting himself when he does not measure up. Perhaps circumstances or relationships in his life have been extremely difficult and demanding, reinforcing Matthew's belief that he must struggle alone.

He is capable of tremendous effort and of overcoming great odds and handicaps. Through these efforts Matthew Broderick develops his power and inner strength. However, Matthew Broderick should not make life harder than it is. He must give himself permission to let up sometimes, and to realize that he is only human.

He may feel hindered or oppressed by other people frequently and overcoming difficulties jointly with others could come suddenly. Matthew Broderick seems to be afraid of his own courage and may find it hard to express his desires.

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

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

It is in his dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Matthew Broderick needs to integrate in tangible ways: how he makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what he does with the resources he has. Matthew Broderick should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.

He is likely to offer help and protection to people around him and encourage moral values. Matthew Broderick stands up for social justice and unselfishly works for the good of his community. Refusing any kind of personal advantages, Matthew lives in harmony with everyone.
