Shirley Temple
challenges and difficulties

Shirley Temple has a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, she prevents herself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. Temple is more rigid and dogmatic than she realizes. Her approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Shirley Temple takes her own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if she is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

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

She prefers to work alone rather than with other people. Content on her own, Temple tends to become inhibited when she is with others, especially women. Shirley Temple may feel that the effort required to be with others is too great and probably not even worth it.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Shirley Temple instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Shirley Temple needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Shirley Temple needs to take what she has learned (either through formal education or her own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Shirley's quality of life or that of persons in her world, is of little real value. Putting Temple's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in her daily relationships, and in the multiple choices she makes every day, will enable Shirley Temple to really test her belief system and discover more about life.

When under stress, Shirley Temple is apt to seek refuge in imagining that the grass is greener elsewhere, rather than working with what is at hand. Shirley Temple needs to cultivate her ability to live in the present!

It is in her marriage and other intimate, one-to-one relationships that she is most likely to wrestle with these issues. She may see the qualities that she needs to develop more fully (described above) in her partner. It is important for Shirley Temple to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in her life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them herself. Shirley Temple has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about herself through others.

Shirley Temple loves to show off the strength that she possesses and she has a strong desire to dominate others. Shirley seems to have an exuberant craving for recognition and importance and a need to influence and lead large groups of people.
