Russ Meyer
challenges and difficulties

Russ Meyer takes his personal relationships so seriously that they may seem more like work, constant effort, and compromise, rather than a free and enjoyable sharing. He may feel that relationships in general require more of him than they are worth, and Russ enters into any close relationship cautiously and conscientiously. Russ Meyer also fears entrapment in close relationships.

His childhood or his relationships with his parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways that may prevent Russ from allowing other people to get close to him in later life. Russ Meyer felt deprived in some manner, whether or not he actually was deprived in some way. Emotional separations or repression of his needs and feelings may typify his early life, at least as Meyer remembers it. Forgiving his parents and/or letting go of any resentments he has about the limitations that he experienced early in his life is crucial. Also, Russ Meyer needs to build his own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into his home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help Russ accomplish this.

Once he decides what he wants to do, Russ Meyer will pursue his goal tenaciously and, if necessary, sacrifice a great deal for his deeply felt convictions. This trait tends to make Russ feel a little out of step with others. Russ Meyer takes things a little more seriously and has an inclination to be somewhat of a fanatic, although probably not flamboyantly so; as a result, others may not be aware of how deeply Russ feels and how driven he is about the things that are important to him. Russ Meyer has a deep inner resolve and is willing to struggle to do the things that are really meaningful to him, rather than follow an easier but less meaningful course in life.

Russ Meyer tends to be shy, sensitive and stiff with his emotions and may have difficulty expressing his true feelings, even though his affection for someone is there. One of Meyer's parents may have been too strict and unloving, and so Russ may fear close relationships.

He is quite cool and reserved in matters of love relationships and tends to hold back his inclination for love. Somewhat inhibited in regard to relationships, Russ Meyer is inclined to feel that he is better off staying by himself.

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

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

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

The specific habits which are likely to hold Russ Meyer back, or which he is prone to overdo, especially during stressful periods, include:

The tendency for self-indulgence, laziness, and over-reliance on the generosity or affection of others, as well as making love relationships, social life and superficial pleasures more important than anything else in his life.

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

Russ Meyer should develop faith and confidence both in himself and in a higher power that can guide, nourish, and help him. He needs to expand his willingness to dream and envision better things in life by studying religion, philosophy and other subjects that enable him to acquire a larger, more inclusive view of the world.

Being generous with his time, energy and resources in helping others achieve a better life will in turn benefit Russ Meyer.

Russ Meyer should foster self-discipline and learn to handle responsibility. He may shoulder an inordinate amount of responsibility as well as burdens that sometimes limit Meyer's activities and opportunities in life. However, this is a maturing and ultimately empowering process. He is also likely to be offered positions of tremendous responsibility, whether Russ really wants such jobs or not, usually because he has invested real effort and made some sort of substantial contribution.

There may be considerable obstacles in his path - more adversity than others seem to face - and Meyer's task is to learn to cope with pressure and persevere.

He is likely to offer help and protection to people around him and encourage moral values. Russ Meyer stands up for social justice and unselfishly works for the good of his community. Refusing any kind of personal advantages, Russ lives in harmony with everyone.
