Yves Montand
challenges and difficulties

Yves Montand takes his personal relationships so seriously that they may seem more like work, constant effort, and compromise, rather than a free and enjoyable sharing. He may feel that relationships in general require more of him than they are worth, and Yves enters into any close relationship cautiously and conscientiously. Yves Montand also fears entrapment in close relationships.

He is serious-minded and may have difficulty making light social conversation or participating in friendly, personal interchanges.

Yves Montand tries to be strictly accurate and he is critical of people who exaggerate or talk on subjects they really know little about. Montand withholds his thoughts and opinions until he has thought everything through quite thoroughly, and sometimes Yves' silence discomforts others.

His mental concentration is very good but his breadth of understanding may not be.

His aspirations and dreams are always tempered by realism and practical considerations. Yves Montand 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 Yves Montand underestimates what is possible, and holds himself back unnecessarily due to a lack of faith or an overly cautious attitude.

Yves Montand has a tendency to think on the dark side, is somewhat gloomy and touchy and easily disappointed. He may find it hard to keeps his attention on the real world and could become obsessed with strange ideas and fanciful beliefs.

Quite reserved and somewhat inhibited in his relationships with others, Yves Montand may feel that he is better off by himself. Yves feels that he does not fit in very well with people and he finds team-work in groups or associations difficult to achieve.

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

Instinctively he is a fighter and an individualist who can stand alone when necessary. Very often, however, Yves stands alone when he does not need to, not realizing the support, assistance, and resources others may have to offer. Yves Montand has a tendency to "reinvent the wheel" and to feel that he must be self-reliant and that only he can come up with the answers he needs. Implicit in this attitude is a kind of arrogance as well as a rather competitive approach, which - at its worst - can alienate him from others, or make Yves Montand feel that "it is me against the world".

Social skills and graces and what Yves Montand calls social "games" do not come naturally to him. Yves Montand needs to learn how to share and join others, and how to negotiate and resolve conflict with others in a cooperative way.

It is in his way of thinking, processing information and communicating that Yves Montand is most likely to wrestle with these issues. In Montand's relationships with neighbors, colleagues, and acquaintances, he needs to try to bring out the qualities described above.

The following are specific activities that will support Yves Montand in his growth. These may or may not feel natural to Montand, and he may initially resist or feel awkward about them, but they are crucial to his path to wholeness.

Yves Montand should develop true self-confidence and the willingness to put himself "out there", be seen and shine. Yves needs to be willing to take on a leading role. He needs to be a hero - a protagonist in his own story - by cultivating the courageous, active, and positive masculine qualities he possesses. Doing creative work that he is proud of - anything that comes from Montand's heart and bears the stamp of Montand's individuality - is important. Also, being a mentor, a helpful, encouraging force in the life of someone less experienced than he is a way for Yves Montand to grow and become more whole himself.

He is very social, loves artistic events and entertainment, and has the ability to show his feelings without reservation. Yves Montand probably found joy in learning things early in life and he keeps in close relationships with his family and other relations.
