Bob Hartman became aware of his weaknesses and decided to transform himself. The first step was to become aware of the weaknesses which may be holding him back and preventing his evolution.

Bob Hartman sometimes feels a conflict between his desire to pursue social and professional success and his need for a stable, secure domestic life. He is deeply committed to both ideas, but sometimes fails to reconciling their schedules and demands on him. Sometimes it feels as though he will never be able to find a balance. However, no job promotion will truly satisfy him if he has neglected his most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier for him to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if he sacrifices his domestic life, he is only fooling himself. He should accept the fact that his domestic life is the true basis and foundation of his development. All his career endeavors and success will be even more rewarding if they are supported by a safe, warm personal life.

Bob Hartman has a variety of talents, but it can be difficult for him to concentrate on a single focal point. He is ruled by his nervousness and his suggestible nature, which can sometimes make it difficult for him to use his adaptive abilities to his fullest potential. To be truly effective, he needs to learn to control his jittery mind; otherwise, he may be draining his nervous system of energy. If he experiences respiratory problems, like asthma (due to nerves), it will be a sign that the need to change is urgent.

Bob Hartman experiences conflict in relationships because of his tendency to be self-focused and impulsively take charge. His certainty of his bound to succeed combined with impulsiveness couldrouse resentment from others. He would benefit from meditating on the concepts of authority and individualism.

Bob Hartman’s emotions are fluctuating and unstable. Although he has the ability to detach himself from his emotions to analyze and observe them, this tendency sometimes prevents him from truly engaging himself in emotional terms and may act as a defense against any emotional impact. This is the reason why he subjects all his feelings to an intellectual interpretation rather than yielding to them. It is also the reason why he might falter, hesitate, contradict himself and seem to say both yes and no when he has an opportunity to commit himself emotionally. He should make a conscious effort to overcome this unconscious conditioning which may be related to his childhood. He must first learn to observe and assimilate other people’s feelings instead of rejecting them. This exercise will teach him to understand his own reactions and affects better.

Bob Hartman reacts peremptorily to all opposition and will brook no contradiction. His desires are sometimes imperious, and he expresses them impulsively, by fits and starts, which may elicit resentment and antagonism in his partners. Life will force him to set more universal goals and centers of interest for himself. It would be a good idea for him to release some excess internal tension through physical exercise.

Bob Hartman tends to be restless and impatient. His dissatisfaction sometimes compels him to launch himself into an energetic effort to transform society. Because he has the ability to conceive of fairly radical models for social change, he sometimes demonstrates a desire to spearhead a progressive movement. However, his determination to impose his own ideas forcefully could turn off people he is so eager to help. He will do well to realize that only a transpersonal vision of the world (that is, a vision which transcends his own personal ego problems) is appropriate nourishment for the archetypes which could bring about a real transformation and improvement of social structures.
