Brig Owens is a reluctant individualist who often attempts to free himself from outside influence. Because he is centered on himself, he is often unwilling to team up with others in any way. He is reluctant to cooperate on projects, and it is only by working and acting independently that he can accomplish his goals and ambitions.

Brig Owens tries to free himself from outer restraints and limitations in order to develop his personal identity. He tries to free himself from social responsibilities because he believes that they would interfere with his ability to command his will and handle his personal involvements freely and openly. Brig Owens is individualistic and egocentric because he derives his feelings of inner security from his ability to control his own life.

Brig Owens is aware of a lack of confidence in himself and in life. Prone to apathy, Brig often is discouraged by the strains of living. This reluctance to accept the challenges of existence may be the result of a self-image which is elusive or flawed. Perhaps, as a child, Brig was not given the means to develop an ideal image due to the lack of an appropriate role model or caregiver. As a result, Brig is unable to move himself toward an improved, more positive disposition. Brig 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, Brig may be tormented and wish to change. Vigorous physical exercise and an effort to visualize an admirable figure would be beneficial to Brig, as well as a diet that includes vitality-bolstering vitamins and protein.
