Peter Jackson
challenges and difficulties

Peter Jackson has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Peter is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack the capacity for joy and play. Peter Jackson 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 Jackson's that may inhibit him a great deal. Peter Jackson 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 attitude toward religion, philosophy, and politics is very conservative and possibly narrow or rigid. On the one hand, Peter Jackson may believe in nothing that is speculative or intangible, requiring proof for any idea presented to him. Each idea is thoroughly and systematically examined. On the other hand, Peter may tenaciously cling to his grand philosophical or metaphysical beliefs and opinions, refusing to modify them or to be open and receptive to others' insights and perspectives.

His overall outlook on life is serious, and Peter Jackson may feel that life or God will punish him if he does not watch his step!

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Peter Jackson pursues his aims in a systematic, disciplined and thorough manner, and he is willing to take his time, advancing slowly and steadily toward his goal.

Sometimes Peter Jackson underestimates what is possible, and holds himself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.

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

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

It is in trying to strike a balance between Jackson's inner, personal life and his career or involvement with the world at large that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Peter Jackson needs to focus attention on his home and family situation, and create a secure inner anchor.

The following are specific activities that will support Peter Jackson in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Jackson, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Peter Jackson should be willing to become more of a free thinker, to experiment and change, to loosen his ties to tradition and the known and to allow for new developments. He needs to practice getting involved in an area involving new techniques, rapid changes and innovation. Peter can be part of the avant-garde promoting such changes - be it in science, music or social relationships. Peter Jackson has to be willing to be different and perhaps to be considered eccentric or odd.

He is highly emotional and tends to display his feelings in a theatrical way. Peter Jackson seems to enjoy being somewhat eccentric and finds it difficult to adapt himself to others. Although he may seek emotional fulfillment, Peter does not do well in relationships and teamwork surroundings.
