Melvin Belli
challenges and difficulties

Melvin Belli often has a sense of longing or homesickness for something he cannot name or specify, and he may have both: great attraction toward, and fear of, mysticism and parapsychology.

Overcoming feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, or oversensitivity is an important task for Belli.

Melvin Belli takes his commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. His strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes Belli a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but he often feels that marriage or any binding commitment between him and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seeks to avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for Melvin Belli and it may seem that he is always "working on" his marriage rather than enjoying it. However, Belli will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

Once he decides what he wants to do, Melvin Belli will pursue his goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for his deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Melvin feel a little out of step with others. Melvin Belli takes things a little more seriously and has an inclination to be somewhat of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so; as a result, others may not be aware of how deeply Melvin feels and how driven he is about the things that are important to him. Melvin Belli has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to him, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

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

When under stress, Melvin Belli is apt to shut off the flow of his emotions and ignore his needs and feelings in order to do what he perceives as his duty or simply what the practical realities of the situation dictate. This can lead to a certain rigidity and inflexibility. If overdone, self-control, self-discipline, or an exaggerated concern over what society, family or others expect of him, makes life more of a burden than an adventure.

Fostering his tender, caring, feminine, and nurturing aspects is an important step in Melvin Belli's growth. Melvin Belli needs to learn how to nourish and lovingly tend to both himself and others. Letting himself be taken care of sometimes is okay!
