William Powell
challenges and difficulties

William Powell 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 Powell knows it should be done.

He frequently over analyze or pick things apart mentally. William Powell may be something of a hypochondriac also. William 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.

Powell 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 William Powell 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 William Powell better than being with groups of his own peers.

His faith, optimism, and sense of possibilities are tempered by much caution, and often doubt or skepticism as well. Whatever hopes or visions William Powell has for his life are firmly held in check by his sense of reality. At times he may wish for more freedom, but William also fears it and hang back. William Powell may blame practical limitations or some external condition or the prevailing Authority for his own inhibitions.

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

William Powell benefits by becoming more aware of the rhythm of the seasons and the natural world, learning to slow down and allow life to unfold in its own time. Nurturing a garden, a child, or some other living, growing thing gives William Powell a sense of inner balance.

William Powell has a tendency to be deeply suspicious, to not take anything at face value and to see hidden agendas and dark motives even where none exist! Life does not have to be a constant conflict... William needs to learn to accept things as they are.

Powell also needs to develop patience, peace and stability by grounding himself in his daily work and behaving consistently and reliably towards others.

It is in his marriage and other intimate, one-to-one relationships that he is most likely to wrestle with these issues. He may see the qualities that he needs to develop more fully (described above) in his partner. It is important for William Powell to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in his life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them himself. William Powell has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about himself through others.
