Stevie Wonder
challenges and difficulties

Stevie Wonder 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 Wonder knows it should be done.

He frequently over analyzes or picks things apart mentally. Stevie Wonder may also be somewhat of a hypochondriac. Stevie 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.

Wonder is generally not a "joiner" and he does not feel comfortable in clubs, organizations or other groups of people that are centered on some common ideal or interest. If Stevie Wonder does participate in a group, he may find the rules and procedures restrictive - or he may simply feel that he does not fit in with the others.

Being alone or with older, more experienced people suits Stevie Wonder better than being with groups of his own peers.

Stevie Wonder may often be coerced into doing things that he does not want to do, leaving him frustrated, irritable and touchy. Stevie could turn hard and unforgiving toward others and may break up some important relationships.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Stevie Wonder 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 Stevie Wonder 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 Stevie Wonder - so much so that he seeks them out at his own expense. When he is under stress, Wonder 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.

Stevie Wonder 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 Wonder's most deeply ingrained fears, such as "what if they do not like me?" and "what if I have to go through this alone?".

Stevie Wonder 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 work and his relationships with co-workers, employers, and employees that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. Integrating the qualities described above into Wonder's work and daily routine will lead to greater satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.

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

He needs to give and receive affection, love and pleasure (primarily with the qualities described previously). Stevie Wonder has to learn to respond to, appreciate and create beauty, art, harmonious surroundings and relationships. He needs to be aware of aesthetics and to do things in a gracious, pleasing manner. Stevie Wonder has to start enjoying life, nurturing friendships and cultivating his ability to love and to receive love.
