Will Rogers
challenges and difficulties

Will has difficulty asserting his will and desires directly and openly. He may also suppress his anger and aggressiveness. Developing self-confidence, courage, and faith in himself are important tasks for Rogers.

He is very conscientious, responsible, and concerned with his duty, his public image and reputation, and becoming a person of stature in the world. Will Rogers understands the need for hard work and careful planning in order to accomplish anything substantial and he is capable of much self-discipline and patience once he sets his sights on a goal.

But Will Rogers is very judgmental and hard on himself if he fails to attain success, and he can become dry, bitter, or cynical if the world does not recognize his efforts.

The side of Will Rogers that wants and needs structure, order, stability, and a disciplined way of life is at odds with his urges for unfettered freedom, change, excitement, and discovery. There is apt to be much discontent, inner stress, and tension due to this, and at times Will finds it hard to relax. Will Rogers may act out in a rebellious way now and then, or clamp down hard on himself, in an attempt to strictly control his "wild" impulses. Rogers' task is to try to find a reasonable balance between order and creative chaos in his life.

His upbringing may have been either too demanding or somewhat lacks. Will Rogers resists any attempt to restrict his freedom and has the ability to apply extraordinary efforts to overcome any inhibitions or difficulties that he may have.

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

Will Rogers has a great capacity for sympathy, tenderness, and caring, which is a gift that he is apt to over bestow at times. For balance, Will Rogers needs to foster mature self-discipline, self-control, and personal responsibility.

When under stress, he has a strong instinct to retreat back to the nest, to be a child again, or to become overwhelmed with feelings and longings to be taken care of. Also, he may encourage others to depend on him emotionally (and otherwise) to an unhealthy degree. Will Rogers needs to learn how to set limits and to turn off the flow of support when necessary.

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 Rogers' work and daily routine will lead to greater satisfaction, improved health, and personal growth.

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

Being bound to past events and experiences because of his desire to belong, deep attachments to family and the familiar (even if they are neither nourishing nor helpful), the desire to nurture or be nurtured by others, and a strong resistance to cutting the umbilical cord.

Will has an inner need to share his experiences with others and he talks to his friends and acquaintances in a very open manner. Socially minded, Will Rogers likes to cultivate close relationships, especially with women.

Will Rogers has a strong desire to take part in social functions and entertainment and cultivate an active exchange of thoughts with others. Will also appreciates associations and has the ability to carry enterprises to a successful conclusion in team-work.

Rogers constantly seems to be under tremendous pressure and he wants to achieve record performances. Having a strong desire to accomplish immense tasks in team-work with others, Will Rogers has a tendency to demand too much of other people.
