| The
challenge contained in the 8 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. Problems occur when you exaggerate or deny the reality of your situation, especially when it comes to money, business matters, status, personal power, and material needs. There may be a tendency to want too much, only to find out later that what you had craved so strongly was not what you wanted after all. An arrogant attitude then takes the place of your embarrassment. You have a strong presence and you are not afraid to work very hard to achieve your aims. However, there are times when you must stop the flow of progress in order to learn new things. It is only after you have learned these things that real progress can take place. Instead of getting angry, bullying, or frustrated by what seems like an intrusion on your life, you need to ask yourself what this distraction is trying to teach you. Some people may think you are a little greedy. But you know that this is not the case. In fact, it is your very nature to NEED financial and material security. There are times, however, when you must remember to put the brakes on and slow down. Otherwise you will be unable to see that the world has changed and that new ideas and approaches are needed. Patience is not your forte, but you do need to develop patience if you are to create the life you want for yourself. You have some impressive talents, but you must take the time to build on them and become the best. At these times of learning you may not be making the financial headway you would like, but this must be accepted if your long-term goals are to succeed. In order to turn the 8 challenge into the real success you crave, you must admit that money cannot buy everything you need. You cannot buy true love, true friendship, true respect, or good health. It is essential that you spend time - quality time - with loved ones and friends. Material gifts cannot compensate for your emotional absence in their lives. Realize how intolerant you can be towards those who do not share your view of the material, business, or financial world. It is unfair to expect them to live up to your expectations. If you want the respect of peers and colleagues, they must know that you respect them too. You may need to show more appreciation for those who play a role - no matter how small - in your life. Yes, you were born to learn about success, status, and money because 8 is the number of PERSONAL POWER. Ultimately, you are meant to learn that success, status, and money are only part of the picture and that LOVE is the greatest power of all. When you understand this, there will be no limit to your achievements. |
