Randy Gardner
challenges and difficulties

Randy Gardner has a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, he prevents himself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. Gardner is more rigid and dogmatic than he realizes. His approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Randy Gardner takes his own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if he is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

His fears revolve around money and material security, and Randy Gardner works very hard to ensure that his assets are solid. He may be very conservative, even stingy with his money because he is afraid there will not be enough. He may turn this fear around and become very shrewd about investments and financial matters.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Randy Gardner 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 Randy Gardner 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, Randy stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Randy Gardner 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 Randy Gardner feel that "it is me against the world".

It is deep within himself, as Randy Gardner faces his own demons, fears, and struggles - those aspects of life that are not easily or readily shared, those parts of his life that Randy Gardner keeps hidden from public view where he is most likely to wrestle with these issues.

The qualities described above can also be beneficially channeled into some sort of charitable work, altruistic service or ministering to people in need.
