Michael Nesmith
challenges and difficulties

Nesmith doubts his own intelligence and mental capacities, and he may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Michael is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for him.

He is serious by nature, and may have difficulty making small talk or participating in friendly, personal exchanges.

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

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

He is serious and sincere about his interests, does not accept superficial answers and is not easily placated. Michael wants his inspirations to become reality and he does not mind upsetting a few apple carts in the process. Michael Nesmith becomes impatient with others for being hesitant to implement new ideas and take action, and his occasional outbreaks of brusque, insensitive behavior often do more harm than good.

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

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

It is in his work and his relationships with co-workers, employers, and employees that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Integrating the qualities described above into Nesmith's work and daily routine will lead to greater satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.

Michael Nesmith tends to be a bit too idealistic and may place too much hope in his relationships, resulting in frequent disappointments. Michael could be attracted to naive people, but some of his contacts may also turn out to be swindlers.
