The direction Michael Paré needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Instinctively he is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Michael stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Michael Paré has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that he must be self-reliant and that only he can come up with the answers he needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate him from others, or make Michael Paré feel that "it is me against the world".

Doing creative work that he is proud of - anything that comes from Paré's heart and bears the stamp of Paré's individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than he is a way for Michael Paré to grow and become more whole himself.
