Robert Walker
challenges and difficulties

He is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing himself freely and openly is not easy for Walker. Robert Walker tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of his "performance" is an important task for Robert.

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

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

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

Robert Walker seesaws between playing it safe, and doing something unique and original, between self-control and letting loose, between being a responsible adult and a rebellious adolescent, between what Robert has to or should do and what his spontaneous impulses tell him to do. All of this creates enormous inner tension as well as friction with people in his environment. Robert Walker may, for instance, bitterly resent government or authority figures who "crush his individuality", yet ignore his obligations and responsibilities, thus ensuring that they will pursue him. Learning to give each side its due is an ongoing challenge for Walker.

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

It is easy for Robert Walker to become distracted from his path by the multitude of interesting choices, possibilities, and options available to him. Robert Walker needs to develop single mindedness and focus. Until Robert 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 Walker's larger purpose in life, is a significant step toward his personal development.

It is in his work and his relationships with co-workers, employers, and employees that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Integrating the qualities described above into Walker's work and daily routine will lead to greater satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.

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

Robert Walker should become a warrior and cultivate a positive, victorious, active approach to life and to any problems he faces. It is in Walker's best interest to act on his own behalf instead of stalling, waiting or hoping someone else will do it for him. Robert Walker needs to assert himself openly and courageously and not to be afraid to make mistakes or stumble; there are bound to be a few trial runs to any new initiative. Robert needs to foster a healthy fighting spirit, pick himself up, and go! He also should learn to appreciate conflict and confrontation as a means to grow.
