Nigel John Taylor
challenges and difficulties

Nigel John Taylor has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. John is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack the capacity for joy and play. Nigel John Taylor often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.

There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Taylor's that may inhibit him a great deal. Nigel John Taylor must avoid becoming cumbersome and cynical, or a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose sense of practicality and realism rob him of the playful, imaginative side of life.

His childhood or his relationship with his parents was restrictive, unloving or unhappy in ways that may prevent John from allowing other people to get close to him in later life. Nigel John Taylor feels that he was deprived in one form or another, regardless of whether he actually was or not. His early life - at least as Taylor remembers it - may have been marked by emotional separation or repression of his needs and feelings. Forgiving his parents and/or letting go of any resentments he has about the limitations that he experienced early in his life is crucial. Also, Nigel John Taylor needs to build his own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into his home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help John accomplish this task.

The side of Nigel John Taylor that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with his urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension as a result, and at times John finds it hard to relax. Nigel John Taylor may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on himself, in an attempt to strictly control his "wild" impulses. Taylor's task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in his life.

Nigel John Taylor strongly rebels against any restrictions and may have the desire to break away and overthrow any thoughts of responsibility. On the other hand, limitations in his life could suddenly wane, thereby leaving Taylor free to do his own thing.

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

His natural instinct, especially when under stress, is to passively go along with whatever is easiest, refrain from clearly analyzing or assessing his situation and perhaps even try to escape from seeing his situation clearly by indulging in fantasies, intoxicants, and the like. Dreaminess and impracticality, being unfocused and undefined (at least in certain areas) are ways Nigel John Taylor copes with stress. Nigel John Taylor also has trouble setting limits and saying no.

His development path lies in cultivating discrimination and clarity, becoming more precise, and developing technical and practical skills that will enable Nigel John Taylor to function more efficiently in the world. Finding a way to be of practical service is also important.

It is in his relationships with others that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. There is a dynamic balance (or conflict) within Nigel John Taylor between acting spontaneously and being true to himself versus modifying himself or his behavior to suit others. Nigel John Taylor seesaws between being inordinately concerned with his self to being overly conciliatory and concerned with others' needs, rights, or opinions about him. Learning to act authentically and forthrightly regardless of possible consequences is Taylor's task.
