influence, probably parents or others with whom you compete. The challenge of

individuality. False pride, pomposity, egotism are issues to be guarded against

your own problems independently. Learn to rely on your wit and your
intelligence, avoiding argumentation and resentfulness.

you are likely to be extremely sensitive and more or less brimming with
feeling. You find it hard to work with people because your are afraid of being
criticized or, worse yet, ignored. You have a good deal of self-doubt and a
definite lack of self confidence. There is a tendency to constantly worry about
the opinion that others have of you. There is likewise a tendency to use this
sensitivity in a negative way. Used more positively, your keen sensitivities
can be a significant strength, allowing you to be acutely aware of so much of
with others rarely perceive. But during this period it will be hard for you to
assert yourself and make decisions. You will shy away from positions of
authority and responsibility. This can be a time for accumulation of wisdom, as
you show patience and pay close attention to detail. Try not to take things too
personally. Friendships are a source of deep satisfaction to you during this
time. Respect your ability to compromise and grow in a quiet way. Do not let
details overwhelm you and keep you from seeing the big picture. Plan for slow
growth rather than immediate gain.
Challenge
3
The challenge of the number 3 suggests
a tendency to scatter talents and try to do too many things at once during this
period of your life. You may have a fine imagination and a gift for words, but
you find it hard to express yourself effectively. Though you know you should
cultivate friends and be sociable, you tend to be somewhat reclusive and
defensive. You may have a talent for writing, acting, or speaking, but you are
reluctant to involve yourself with these sorts of activities because you do not
like to face the prospects of criticism. You are expressing yourself with a
negative emphasis, hiding your creative talents behind a wall of shyness. You
must strive to develop yourself in a social and in a creative sense.
Challenge

a difficulty with work. Either you simply don't like to work, don't like the
work your are forced to do, or you have difficulty completing tasks and working
efficiently. You may be careless and lack a sense of practicality. Often this
challenge makes it hard to see the forest for the trees when it comes to work
and obligations. It is important for you to learn patience, understanding and
the practical, common sense way of dealing with mundane responsibilities. You
may also need to learn the importance of working within the parameters of a
time schedule.
Challenge
5
The challenge of the number 5 suggests
that your challenge is to overcome the desire and the demand for freedom at any
price. This challenge number is very difficult to handle because, with it, you
are apt to be extremely impulsive; you want to try everything at least once,
and you are rather unstable in many ways. Change may be necessary for you, but
it must be handled in an intelligent and controlled manner. Make certain that
the desire for change is not associated with a desire to escape responsibility.
In any event, this challenge requires that you learn as early as possible in
life to control your impulses.
Challenge
6
The challenge of the number 6 suggests
that you may have difficulties because of your insistence on
extremely high standards. You are apt to appear authoritarian, intolerant, and
a little self-righteous. It is hard for others to live up to your standards of
expectation. Many of your considerable talents for balancing situations are
used with a negative emphasis. Avoid creating friction in relationships and
strive for harmony. You must learn that your diplomatic approach will only be
appreciated if others feel that their needs are met, their desires understood,
their point of view respected. You must learn to allow others to set their own
pace, make their own rules. This challenge requires learning unconditional love
and acceptance.
Challenge
7
The challenge of the number 7 suggests
difficulties brought on by your discomfort with your own inner feelings;
feelings of a reserved attitude and unexpressed emotions. You may feel unable
to better your situation, or to change and improve circumstances. There is a
tendency with this challenge to be a chronic critic and complainer, while
offering little or nothing as a suggest to correct the faults that are found.
The sense of discrimination is strong, but it is expressed in a very negative
way. A sense of false pride tends to keep your real feelings buried beneath the
surface. Avoid a tendency to approach people in a very reserved and aloof way,
and develop faith in your own abilities rather than dwelling on your
limitations. Marriage is apt to be delayed until this challenge is overcome, or
if married, this can be a difficult time.
Challenge
8
The challenge of the number 8 suggests
an early life assumption that satisfaction can only be gained and safeguarded
by adequate material accumulation. There's likely to be considerable effort
exerted to attain money, status, and power, sometimes to the exclusion of
almost all else. The number 8 challenge indicates that you are/were using your
concern with material matters with negative emphasis. You must learn to use
your ability to gain money, status and power with a sense of proportion and an
awareness of the relation of material affairs to other matters, and deal with
the material world in a comfortable manner.
