Brad Hand experiences his inner life as a process of growth and maturation, nurtured by his involvement with others and the positive and negative encounters this generates.

Brad Hand is motivated by a need to work in common with other people and to share life’s pleasures and pain. His commitments to other people are of paramount importance to his personal development. This dependence may present difficulties with individual self-assertion and make it hard for him to make decisions alone. If he wants to achieve inner equilibrium, he must behave in such a way that his actions yield benefits to others as well as himself.

Brad Hand is attracted to interpersonal activities, but his significant need for inner security may stand in the way of his overtures to others. Since he is highly receptive to other people’s inner natures, he seeks tight bonds with others. He unconsciously needs their psychological support in his quest for himself.

Brad Hand has a tendency to identify with others. He forms friendships easily and naturally and enjoys participating in other people’s lives. Sociable, he enjoys being seen and appreciates popularity and recognition. Solitude bores him. His life and personal relations are in sync with his friendships and outer events. Most often, he shares the opinion of others.

Brad Hand lives in a world of dreams and subconscious. He can’t live without love, and, like water that flows into and takes on the shape of the vessel which contains it, he is always ready to submerge himself in another person. Stirred by forces he does not control, Brad may be aroused by passions which are impervious to the restraints of reason and logic. Brad is an emotive creature in harmony with the flow of his feelings, impulses, and urges.

Brad Hand is aware of a lack of confidence in himself and in life. Prone to apathy, as if deprived of optimism and cheerfulness at some time, he may often be discouraged by the strains of living. This reluctance to accept the challenges of existence, which he may perceive as a major problem, may be the result of a self-image which is elusive or flawed. Perhaps, as a child, he was not given the means to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. As a result, he is unable to move himself toward an improved, more positive disposition. He may reject any challenge that would enable him to surpass his current self, or accept it only after long meditation. Steeped in the awareness of his problem, he may be tormented and wish to change. Vigorous physical exercise and an effort to visualize an admirable figure would be beneficial to him, as well as a diet that includes vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein.
