If you want to improve, the first step is to become aware of your weaknesses. They might be holding you back from evolving, such as your detachment and lack of consideration for others. You might also need to loosen up and allow others more input into your life. Be more flexible, and learn to trust your feelings. Finally, have more faith in your abilities, and don’t be afraid to take risks.

Ben Willbond sometimes senses a conflict between his desire to achieve social and professional success and his need for a stable, secure domestic life. He is deeply committed to both ideas and does not always succeed in 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 really satisfy him if he has neglected his most intimate needs and desires. Although it sometimes seems easier to him to climb the rungs of the career ladder out there in the real world, if he merely sacrifices his domestic life, he is only trying to fool 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.

Ben Willbond may experience discord in relationships. Although he is friendly and outgoing and commits himself to friendships and partnerships, he often finds it difficult to balance his own needs, desires, and goals with the objective reality of others and their individual desires and needs. To understand and overcome this problem, he should accept the idea that every relationship follows more or less the same general scheme: a base of intimacy and an accomplishment or purpose apart from the relationship itself. If he succeeds in defining, through discussion and communication, what sort of intimate relationship he and his partners want to maintain and what accomplishment or purpose they hope to achieve, many conflicts will be avoided.

Ben Willbond tends to be restless and impatient. Your dissatisfaction sometimes compels you to launch yourself into an energetic effort to transform society. Because you have the ability to conceive of fairly radical models for social change, you sometimes demonstrate a desire to spearhead a progressive movement. However, your determination to impose your own ideas forcefully could turn off people you are so eager to help. You will do well to realize that only a transpersonal vision of the world (that is, a vision which transcends your own personal ego problems) is appropriate nourishment for the archetypes which could bring about a real transformation and improvement of social structures.
