Walt Disney
challenges and difficulties

Walt Disney has a great capacity for self-denial in the pursuit of a long-range goal. Walt is capable of hard work and persistent labor, but he may lack joyfulness and the ability to play. Walt Disney 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 Disney's which may inhibit him a great deal. Walt Disney 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.

His childhood or his relationships with his parents was restrictive, unloving, or unhappy in ways that may prevent Walt from allowing other people to get close to him in later life. Walt Disney felt deprived in some manner, whether or not he actually was deprived in some way. Emotional separations or repression of his needs and feelings may typify his early life, at least as Disney remembers it. Forgiving his parents and/or letting go of any resentments he has about the limitations that he experienced early in his life is crucial. Also, Walt Disney needs to build his own solid foundation, and investing time and energy into his home, domestic relationships, and inner life can help Walt accomplish this.

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Walt Disney pursues his aims in a systematic, disciplined, and thorough manner, and he is willing to takes his time, advancing slowly and steadily on his way towards his goal.

Sometimes Walt Disney underestimates what is possible, and holds himself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.

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

He is capable of withstanding outside influences and remaining constant and steady on his path, but when under stress Walt Disney becomes downright obstinate and implacable, resisting any change no matter how necessary or desirable the change may be. Tenaciously trying to preserve the status quo and hold on to what he has, he is apt to ignore the subtle signals he receives about needing to do something differently, which often leads to a crisis.

Walt Disney needs to learn the limits of his ability to control life, and to accept and even embrace change and loss of the familiar, in order to allow for new life and growth. "Letting go" is a major life lesson for him. Disney also needs to develop a balanced attitude toward his appetites and desires, as Walt Disney tends to overindulge and/or deny himself excessively.

It is in his dealings with money, financial security, tangible assets and possessions that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. The qualities described above are ones Walt Disney needs to integrate in tangible ways: how he makes a living, building assets and a secure material base, what he does with the resources he has. Walt Disney should try to avoid over involvement or entanglements with other people's money matters, legal business, and personal affairs.

Walt Disney has a vivacious and lively manner with a tendency to shock others at times by bluntly blurting out his remarks. Walt loves to be with people, but tends to get overly excited when he is with them.
