Max Baer
challenges and difficulties

Madcap Maxie has difficulty asserting his will and desires directly and openly. He may also suppress his anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in himself are important tasks for Baer.

Max Baer takes both his work and his health very seriously, but he may demand so much of his at work that he compromise his health. Madcap Maxie can become a workaholic, not so much because he has lofty ambitions, but because he never feels like he has done enough. Max Baer is overly responsible or overly conscientious at work, so much so that he may not enjoy it at all.

Baer can also get overly involved in self-improvement or his health, and he tends to be a bit of a hypochondriac.

A bit stubborn and self-willed, Max Baer persists no matter what obstacles he has to overcome. He has great endurance and strength and he forces himself to work very hard. Max Baer could be somewhat one-sided in the pursuit of his objectives.

When he is with others, Max Baer often may suddenly become inhibited. He is inclined to be afraid of confrontations and probably will avoid group activities as much as possible.

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

Max Baer needs to take what he has learned (either through formal education or his own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Madcap Maxie's quality of life or that of persons in his world, is of little real value. Putting Baer's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in his daily relationships, and in the multiple choices he makes every day, will enable Max Baer to really test his belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, Max Baer is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Max Baer needs to cultivate his ability to live in the present!

It is in relationships that are more than superficial or casual - in particular in cases where Max Baer has merged emotionally, legally, or financially with another person - that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Baer will see these issues arise in close partnerships of any kind, especially when there is a mutual dependency involved. Dealing with in-laws, inheritances, and legal matters involving joint custody, shared assets, and resources is also a part of this.

The specific habits which are likely to hold Max Baer back, or which he is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

The need to be first all of the time and demonstrate an aggressive or bossy attitude, impatience or irritability; an over-eagerness to use force or violence to gain advantage and the tendency to resort to fighting or using confrontation too quickly.

The following are specific activities that will support Max Baer in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Baer, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Max Baer's path to wholeness involves confronting his dark and hidden recesses, bringing them out into the open, and transforming himself in the process. Healing abilities develop as a result of Baer's willingness to experience and transform deep emotions such as grief, anger, and pain. Furthermore, bringing light to the darkness and pain in the world without becoming overwhelmed by it is a significant challenge for Madcap Maxie.

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