The 5 challenge can make you feel boxed in and unable to function when your life is not as you would like it to be.  Unfortunately it is this very feeling of paralysis which prevents you from taking the action you need to take in order to create the life you want for yourself.  In an unchanging routine, you can become painfully bored.  You allow chores and obligations to pile up so that, eventually, you do not know how or where to make a start on them.  Then you become careless and make mistakes which, of course, only worsens the situation.  But then, when things have already hit bottom and you are on your way up again, you become afraid of success and unwilling to try new things. 

5 is the number of freedom and change and, when your basic needs are not being taken care of, you can feel  trapped, vulnerable, and unable to change things. At that point, you find a way to blame someone else for your dilemma and may even choose to become dependent on someone else for your stability. 

In order to meet this challenge head-on, the first thing you have to know is what your basic needs actually are.  The first of them is that you need total freedom to do what you want in life.  But you must also take full responsibility for creating your own reality.  Once you have a goal, you must strive to stick to it and do what has to be done to achieve it.  And, because 5 is the number of change, remember that your goals and even the best laid plans may also have to be altered as you proceed.  Flexibility is what you must develop.   You do have an innate ability to CHANGE things you do not like and you must start using this ability without feeling guilty. 

Admit that you do need large amounts of freedom in your life.  You are caught between two opposing needs however: (1) an avid lust for life and (2) a need for stability.  In order to satisfy both desires, you must create a situation that gives you material and financial security and hold on to it, even when the going gets rough and you would rather quit.
