Steven Spielberg
challenges and difficulties

He is very self-conscious and has a great need for ego-affirmation and praise. Expressing himself freely and openly is not easy for Spielberg. Steven Spielberg tends to work hard at playing and "having fun", rather than being light-hearted and spontaneous. Developing self-love and self-acceptance regardless of his "performance" is an important task for Steven.

His fears revolve around money and material security, and Steven Spielberg works very hard to ensure that his assets are solid. He may be very conservative, even stingy, with his money because he is afraid there will not be enough. He may turn this fear around and become very shrewd about investments and financial matters.

He is suspicious of groups, crowds, and social organizations. Spielberg is quick to pick up on social charades and insincerity and avoids the limelight and glamour. Steven Spielberg is direct and to the point in speech and manner, stubborn and inflexible, and often unwilling to communicate his innermost feelings and thoughts.

His outlook on life is inclined to be somewhat negative and Steven Spielberg tries to avoid relationships and social interaction as much as possible. There is a morose side to Steven's nature that makes him feel that no one cares about him, that life is difficult and perhaps not even worthwhile.

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

Steven Spielberg needs to take what he has learned (either through formal education or his 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 Steven's quality of life or that of persons in his world, is of little real value. Putting Spielberg's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in his daily relationships, and in the multiple choices he makes every day, will enable Steven Spielberg to really test his belief system and discover more about life.

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

It is deep within himself, as Steven Spielberg faces his own demons, fears, and struggles - those aspects of life that are not easily or readily shared, those parts of his life that Steven Spielberg keeps hidden from public view where he is most likely to wrestle with these issues.

The qualities described above can also be beneficially channeled into some sort of charitable work, altruistic service or ministering to people in need.

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

Excessive thinking, rationalizing or talking, the overuse or misuse of Spielberg's intellectual abilities and the tendency to allow his energy to be dissipated in trivial activities.
