Samuel Alito
challenges and difficulties

Samuel Alito has a penchant for order and precision, and an almost compulsive attention to detail. He is often hypercritical and can be such a demanding perfectionist that he discourages himself or others from even attempting something that will not be done exactly the way Alito knows it should be done.

He frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. Samuel Alito may be something of a hypochondriac also. Samuel must learn that he does not have to rationally understand everything in order for it to be valid, and also to relax his unnecessarily high or strict standards.

Fear of the unknown, of change, and/or of death may plague Samuel. He strongly resists changes and transitions rather than greeting them with curiosity or a spirit of adventure, which makes them much harder for him.

On another level entirely, Samuel Alito is very careful about joining forces, and especially his material resources, with others. Alito wants to keep his own and other people's property and assets very distinct.

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

Seeking harmonious interpersonal relationships, cooperation, and togetherness, as well as the desire to please or appease other people, are drives that come very naturally to Samuel Alito - so much so that he seeks them out at his own expense. When he is under stress, Alito tends to look outside himself for approval or answers, and he leans on others too much. Therefore, developing self-reliance, and the courage to look inwardly for answers and forge his own path through life is a key factor in his self-development.

Samuel Alito is often tempted to be less than completely straightforward about his intentions or desires, and he can become enmeshed in a quagmire of "little white lies". Stark honesty - both inward and toward others - is the only way out! This, however, leads to the need to confront some of Alito's most deeply ingrained fears, such as "what if they do not like me?" and "what if I have to go through this alone?".

Samuel Alito needs to cultivate his ability to be assertive, take initiative and act on his own behalf. Directness and self-reliance are imperative.

It is in his way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Samuel Alito is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In Alito's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, he needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

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

Samuel Alito should develop true self-confidence and the willingness to put himself "out there", be seen and shine. Samuel needs to be willing to take on a leading role. He needs to be a hero - a protagonist in his own story - by cultivating the courageous, active, and positive masculine qualities he possesses. Doing creative work that he is proud of - anything that comes from Alito's heart and bears the stamp of Alito's individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than he is a way for Samuel Alito to grow and become more whole himself.

Samuel Alito has a sympathetic understanding of other people and the ability to easily adapt himself to them. His emotional fulfillment is likely to come through his relationships with others and Alito will probably feel a soul-affinity with many of them.

His relationships with others could be rather unstable and unreliable. With a somewhat negative attitude and weak will, Samuel Alito avoids opposition and escapes his responsibilities. In his relationships he is likely to choose people who are asocial.
