William Randolph Hearst
challenges and difficulties

William Randolph Hearst 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 Hearst knows it should be done.

He frequently over analyzes or picks things apart mentally. William Randolph Hearst may also be somewhat of a hypochondriac. 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.

It may be difficult for William Randolph Hearst to play spontaneously or just let his hair down, for he tends to inhibit that side of his by being too self-conscious and concerned with the impression he is making.

William may work very hard at some sport or creative medium in order to excel, for he wants very, very much to be noticed, acknowledged and recognized as special in some way. Though he may indeed be outstanding, William Randolph Hearst also needs to learn to relax and enjoy himself more.

William tries to build his life on solid ground, but may find it difficult to move forward because he always tends to look back. This could result in feelings of inferiority and periodic depression.

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

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

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 Randolph Hearst to recognize, appreciate, and listen to the people in his life who express such attributes, as well as to develop them himself. William Randolph Hearst has to put energy and attention into learning about others, and about himself through others.
