challenges and difficulties

Richard Starkey either overvalues or undervalues his possessions and assets. He can also go to extremes in dealing with bodily needs and desires, being either hedonistic or ascetic. Ringo Starr may deny himself sensual pleasure and enjoyment of the fruits of his labors. He may also be stingy and unable to give freely. Many times Ringo Starr feels that he does not have "enough" to make him feel secure, regardless of how much (money, insurance, etc.) he has!

Ringo Starr has a mature, disciplined, serious attitude toward life which colors everything he does. Caution and realism are his virtues though Ringo Starr limits himself at times by being too careful, shy, or fearful, and not believing in himself enough or being assertive when necessary. Others find Ringo Starr difficult to get to know intimately, as Richard Starkey tends to distance himself from them or to put forth a rather stern, "adult" face to the world.

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Ringo Starr pursues his aims in a systematic, disciplined, and thorough manner, and he is willing to takes his time, advancing slowly and steadily on his way towards his goal.

Ringo Starr 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.

Social skills and graces and what Ringo Starr calls social "games" do not come naturally to him. Ringo Starr needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.
