Paul Verlaine
challenges and difficulties

Paul has an innate distrust of groups and/or a cynical attitude toward society that may leave him feeling out of step and unable to participate in activities with his peers. Overcoming a sense of aloofness and alienation from others is an important task for Verlaine.

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

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

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

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

It is easy for Paul Verlaine to become distracted from his path by the multitude of interesting choices, possibilities, and options available to him. Paul Verlaine needs to develop single mindedness and focus. Until Paul directs his attention to some of the big questions, such as "What is my life's purpose?" "What is really important to me and essential to my happiness?", he is apt to dabble, scatter his energies in many directions and engage in activities which are entertaining but ultimately neither fruitful nor enriching.

Having an overall vision for his life and aligning his daily activities so that they support rather than detract from Verlaine's larger purpose in life, is a significant step toward his personal development.

It is in his dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Paul Verlaine needs to integrate in tangible ways: how he makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what he does with the resources he has. Paul Verlaine should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.

Paul has an inspiring, trustworthy and courteous manner, bringing lots of friends and acquaintances with similar interests into his life. His parental home is probably very harmonious and Paul Verlaine feels strongly connected with his family.

Paul Verlaine tends to pick his friends and associates very carefully and is always on the lookout for responsible and congenial people. This enables Paul Verlaine to feel secure with his colleagues and enjoy good relationships with them.
