The challenge contained in the 4 energy is what you need to overcome in order to create the destiny of your choice.  Failing to learn these lessons acts as a barrier to your happiness and success.  In other words, this can be your downfall, if you allow it to be.  What makes the challenge so difficult to overcome is that you will tend to deny that it exists.  And the more you deny it, the more it will stand between you and your marvelous potential.

The number 4 challenge relates to the way you see yourself in terms of being a productive person and a hard worker.  Forever keeping yourself busy, you may believe that constant industriousness is what others will admire in you.  Most of the time, however, they wish you would slow down, relax, and stop making them feel guilty for not having the level of stamina that you have.  You may often find yourself working like crazy, getting things done in a way that no one else can do, when you suddenly realize that nobody else ever puts in the kind of effort that you do.  At that point, you can become very resentful of those who have chosen a more easy-going approach to life.

In order to overcome the 4 challenge you must be honest with yourself.  You must admit that you really do need stability, security, and organization in your life.  You need to feel that your efforts are leading to something better.  But you must allow others to move through life at their own pace and in their own style.  Try not to bite off more than you can chew, only to be disappointed when you ask for help and are turned down by those you thought were “on your side”.  Become comfortable with the fact that you really do possess a more dynamic energy than most others and that they cannot and, perhaps, do not want to keep up with you.
It is not enough to simply overcome your 4 challenge.  It is necessary to turn it around from a negative aspect into a TALENT.  First of all, you must lighten up and stop worrying about how other people see you.  Stop trying to do every little thing in what you believe to be the “proper” way.  It is o.k. to be practical, but not to the extent that you have no time for the “lighter” side of life.  People feel so at ease with you when you let your hair down and relax!  Find a creative outlet for all that energy - one which enables you to be recognized and rewarded for your diligence and hard work.
