Thomas Huxley
challenges and difficulties

Huxley doubts his own intelligence and mental capacities, and he may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Thomas is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for him.

Huxley 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 Thomas Huxley 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 Thomas Huxley better than being with groups of his own peers.

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

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

The arena he is most likely to wrestle with these issues is in playful self-expression, games or sports, and creativity. Thomas Huxley should try to develop any artistic, expressive, creative potentials he feels he possesses, utilizing the qualities described above.

Thomas Huxley has a very obliging manner and is always in search for new relationships. He is able to identify with people quite easily and probably will make many friends who can be of help to him.
