Samuel Beckett
challenges and difficulties

Samuel Beckett often has a sense of longing or homesickness for something he cannot name or specify, and he may sense both a great attraction toward, and fear of, mysticism and parapsychology.

Overcoming feelings of fear, guilt, anxiety, loneliness, or over sensitivity is an important task for Beckett.

His childhood or his relationship with his parents was restrictive, unloving or unhappy in ways that may prevent Samuel from allowing other people to get close to him in later life. Samuel Beckett feels that he was deprived in one form or another, regardless of whether he actually was or not. His early life - at least as Beckett remembers it - may have been marked by emotional separation or repression of his needs and feelings. Forgiving his parents and/or letting go of any resentments he has about the limitations that he experienced early in his life is crucial.

When under stress Samuel Beckett is apt to seek safety in numbers, to go along with the group. Also, he may believe that striving to do his personal best and to excel is wrong or selfish, but Samuel should let go of this notion.
