Spencer Tracy
challenges and difficulties

Spencer Tracy has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Spencer is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Spencer Tracy often feels burdened by life's demands and responsibilities, and may envy those who seem to attract what they want in life without a great deal of personal effort.

There is a very judgmental, stern, and uncompromising side of Tracy's which may inhibit him a great deal. Spencer Tracy must avoid becoming heavy and cynical, or becoming a rather callous, sophisticated adult whose practicality and realism squeeze out the playful, imaginative side of life.

He may have nebulous but ever-present guilt and fears that are difficult to pinpoint or eradicate. It is as if Spencer Tracy does not trust Life itself, and is always seeking ways to defend himself from its dangers and its unknowns. Spencer Tracy must learn to overcome his ingrained habit of discouragement and anxiety, and to see the world more as a friendly place than as a treacherous one.

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

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

It is in any involvements he has with teams, clubs, organizations, networks, and the like that Spencer Tracy is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above need to be channeled into some sort of group effort or experience, or have some impact on society at large.

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

Spencer Tracy should be willing to become more of a free thinker, to experiment and change, to loosen his ties to tradition and the known and to allow for new developments. He needs to practice getting involved in an area involving new techniques, rapid changes and innovation. Spencer can be part of the avant-garde promoting such changes - be it in science, music or social relationships.
