The 1 Destiny
back
...the life-long path of the PIONEER
"No bird soars too high,
if he soars with his own wings."
William Blake
The circumstances of
your life will teach you the importance of believing in
yourself and of satisfying your need for
independence. You want to lead your own life and
you tend to do this by using your individuality - your
unique magnetism - to draw success to you.
You are able to take care of yourself, to stand on your
own two feet, and to get what you want out of life.
And what you want out of life can be most unusual
indeed.
The 1 energy embraces
progress. This implies that steps must be taken,
one at a time, which will lead to higher goals. You are
able to perceive each step as a goal in itself, and your
foresight here - your knowing what you want and how to
get it - usually results in the achievement of your
ambitions.
Others may see you as
self-centered, inconsiderate, or even greedy. They
may resent your positive forward-drive, all the time
wishing they possessed some of this energy
themselves. Your self-centeredness is, indeed, a
fact because the self is precisely what you have come
into this lifetime to learn about. Those who do not
understand this natural "1" characteristic will
often be jealous of you. You yourself must learn to
appreciate who you are and that some negativity from
others is inevitable on this path. But it is also
avoidable once you more fully understand your role of
leader and pioneer.
The 1 destiny provides
the physical and mental energy which keeps you so busy,
and urges you to be wherever the action is. You
must lead your own life without the constant influence of
other people. You can never be happy while you need
the approval of others. But you will gain their
admiration when they realize that you are not seeking it.
The feeling of having
to "go it alone" is prevalent, however, because
others are so resistant to the new, the progressive, and
the different. You may sometimes find this
resistance to be so heavy that the only person you can
lead is yourself.
Your tendency toward
impatience must be recognized and, where possible,
toned down. Your ideas and plans will only
materialize at their right time. Realize, too, that
because your pace is so fast, others can find it
difficult to keep up with you. They are not
abandoning you. Rather it is you who are leaving
them behind. An understanding here can bring
improvements to all your relationships.
You do need an
appreciative audience. How can you be a leader if
no one is following? But when your
"following" starts to slow you down or distract
you from what you really want to do, you are likely to
break free abruptly, leaving others feeling hurt,
abandoned, and confused. It may seem as if you are
retreating or running away from everything.
Usually, though, it is a matter of you pushing others
back so that you can reclaim the space you believe is
yours. Patience is something that really does need
to be developed on the 1 path.
It can be lonely at the
"top". But do be honest with yourself
here: the "top" is exactly where you want to
be. It is where you are meant to be. But you
need frequent periods of isolation so that you can focus
on what is important to you. Meditation is a
matter of focus, which means that you are often
meditating without consciously trying to.
Focus is one of the splendid gifts of the 1 destiny and
is the key to achieving your desires, particularly once
you learn to focus on the big picture instead of only one
small part at a time.
When you do find the
courage to go your own way and do what you instinctively
feel is right for you, those who were once unable to
appreciate your unusual vision will suddenly be only too
willing to jump on your band-wagon and applaud your
independent approach. Do not deter these people
with an attitude of superiority, intolerance, or
impatience. Learn the art of leadership by
welcoming, encouraging, and nurturing your self-made
following, while patiently and confidently retaining your
position as originator and leader. Others will soon
realize that you will not be forced, coerced, or tricked
into anything that goes against your grain.
The very thought of
having to depend on someone else for your happiness,
security and success, is probably repugnant to you.
Likewise, you do not take kindly to others who depend on
you to the extent that they distract you from what
matters to you. Other people do play a very
important role in your life, but dependence, in any form,
is just not natural for you. 1 is the path of
independence.
This does not mean that
you cannot be an excellent partner or team mate.
But roles, schedules, and purposes do need to be defined,
and parameters may need to be set as to how much of
yourself you are comfortably able to give to
others. People close to you need to know that while
you will make sacrifices that are necessary, you will
never sacrifice yourself, your time, your money,
or your effort, for those who can and must learn to help
themselves. Consequently, you thrive around others who
possess your independent nature.
The 1 destiny makes you
a dynamo of positive energy. But you must be
careful not to deny the negatives of life because they
do, indeed, exist. Unless a problem is accepted as
a problem, the solution you need may never be found. One
of the often denied negatives on this path of
independence is that of becoming attached and addicted to
things, situations, beliefs, and people that enter the
life alluringly, only to become major challenges to your
free disposition. Always remain aware of your own
addictions and dependencies. Some will be obvious,
while others will control you more subtly. It is
necessary to recognize, admit to, and overcome these
challenges. Your dependencies are what stand
between you and the creation of your destiny. These
are traps that you, yourself, have set in place because
you are afraid of your own feelings of greatness.
It may be difficult for you to accept that this fear even
exists because, to you, fear denotes
weakness. Try not to deny your fear of being
special. It is only by accepting and loving your
uniqueness that you will be able to sense and avoid
unwanted situations. Your denial of fear will slow
down your progress to the extent that you will be unable
to take important steps unless you have the approval of
others.
Your very nature is to
move progressively, step by step, with each step falling
into place; creating yet another new foothold, and then
another, which will lead to something greater.
Yours is the nature of constant forward movement.
Therefore you cannot allow your denial of fear, and
especially your denial of guilt, to stop your natural
progression from taking place.
When you are unsure of
yourself, you may still want to lead, but you will have
no idea of where you are headed. In this case,
others may reject you, your ideas, your beliefs, your
methods, or your lifestyle. But, once you stop
depending on the approval of others for the results you
want, you will gain a sense of direction and you will be
able to accept meaningful leadership roles when life
offers them to you.
Other people are
already aware of your independent nature, as well as your
many natural abilities. But what others see in you
is not the point. You, yourself, must be able to
recognize your talents and use them whenever you can,
without compromising your individuality. You must
learn to follow your driving force - your own WILL - your
feelings. When you have reached this level of
self-awareness and confidence, some very substantial
opportunities will present themselves and will lead to
material and financial reward, as well as recognition of
your talents.
Some of the natural
gifts of the 1 destiny cycle are those of assertiveness
and courage. You have strong personal needs and
desires which you see as goals and ambitions.
Often, your goals can seem trivial, impractical, or
grandiose to others. And, because they may
sometimes consider your ideas to be too egotistically,
financially, or whimsically based, it is often necessary
for you to ignore their criticism and follow your own
convictions. How else can a pioneer operate?
The other people in
your life can sometimes disappoint you because they do
not seem to share your passion for the various things you
hold dear. You may find a lot of resistance from
them, making you confused as to why they will not, at
least, be happy for you. There seems to be no apparent
reason why others disapprove of you so often. You
dare to be yourself. Your Will is strong and
active. You get things done. So why
don't they accept you as you are? In
this regard, you must learn that everyone's needs,
desires, and levels of consciousness are different.
Everyone is evolving at different speeds, in different
ways, and under different circumstances.
Everyone's personal nature is different.
While, most of the time, you are a wonderful
representative for Free Will, you must learn to allow
others to be who they are and realize that there are no
set ways for individuals to live, behave, or
evolve. Once you have accepted yourself for
who and what you are, you will be able to teach and
inspire others about the importance of their
individuality and their need to become more original and
independent.
The world has outgrown
its need for idols and heroes. Humanity now
requires truthful information instead that encourages
people to live their own lives. You have so much to teach
about self-acceptance, determination, Free Will,
creativity, and personal satisfaction. But you can
only fulfill this potential by being self-accepting,
independent, creative, satisfied with your own progress,
as it progresses, and eager to forge the way for others
even though your main focus, in this lifetime, is YOU.
You may hide your self-centeredness very cleverly, but it
is there anyway, just as it is supposed to be. You
are probably already aware of this tendency even if you
do not make it outwardly visible. In some people,
this could be viewed as a negative trait but in you,
however, self-centeredness is totally natural and
it is beautiful - when it is balanced with consideration
for others. Here, you may have to learn the
difference between being self-centered and selfish;
egotistical and self-deflating; impatient and
lackadaisical; too trendy and too old fashioned; too
rigid and too laid back.
One of the most
difficult lessons you may have to learn on this path is
that of EGO. Without an ego, it is impossible to
know who you are, or what you are capable of doing.
People who say we must bury our egos in order to be
spiritually 'whole', forget that in order to be
whole, the ego must be allowed its right place. The
ego is part of the whole. We cannot exist without
our egos, without denying a part of who we are. The
lesson you must learn about your ego is that of
balance. You must learn to balance your personality
between having too much and too little ego and to allow
the ego to rest so that creative excellence can be
experienced. You need to develop a
realistic sense of your own importance. You are
here to learn about yourself and, therefore, it is
natural for your ego to fluctuate wildly at times, so
that you can learn how to balance it. You
need to behonest about how you really feel about
yourself. There is a lot to thinkabout here.
The 1 energy allows for
a much 'easier' trip through life than the
other destiny numbers, but only if you allow this
'ease' into your life. If you think that
life is a struggle, you will find that what you are
actually struggling with is a dependency of some
kind. Honesty with yourself is essential
because you tend to deny your dependencies even when they
are obvious. When you are truly being yourself and
following your heart, life and love will flow very easily
for you. Problems will always arise when you are
dependent on someone or something, and when you deny or
exaggerate yourfeelings. Being yourself means being
yourself and nothing more.
One of the principle
gifts of the 1 destiny is your ability to influence
others. At the same time, others often
view you as someone who could do a lot better if you
would only push yourself a little harder.
This simply shows that other people are more aware of
your potential than you are. They
sense what you are really capable of, and wonder why you
haven't pushed yourself further. One of the
reasons you do not push yourself as hard as others think
you should is that, plainly, you don't want
to. You want to live your life on your own
terms. You do not want others setting your goals or
agendas for you. You have your own ideas of where
you want to go and how you intend getting there.
Yet, in a crisis, you can amaze everyone, including
yourself, as you step in and efficiently save the
day. Recognize just how special, different, and
powerful you are. This may sometimes leave you
feeling that you are the only one who is putting any
effort into a situation. There is a certain
isolation attached to this feeling; a sense that, when
all is said and done, you are very much alone in this
world. Believe it or not, this feeling of aloneness
is one of the gifts of the 1 destiny.
You see, we are only
just learning, as a species, that we are all connected
and related. But until this is learned on a global
level, until more individuals understand the new
information that is making its way into the world right
now, we are alone, and there are no guarantees for
anything. None of us knows what is around the
corner. You, at least, are aware of this reality,
which gives you a distinct edge over those who seem
forever dependent on outside factors for their
information and their security. Your sense of being
alone can be used to your advantage by realizing that you
were never meant to follow the crowd. To do so will
bring you nothing but unhappiness. Instead, you must find
your own truths, and understand that it is your role in
life to be original, creative, innovative, influential,
and self-satisfied. It is your place in life to stand
alone - ahead of the crowd.
Be yourself, be
original, take the initiative in all your life's
affairs. Liberate and strengthen your Will by denying
nothing about yourself and those around you.
Express your feelings spontaneously. Accept your
freedom, your independence, your individuality, your
uniqueness. Take care of your own needs first and
you will be able to take care of and inspire others, when
the need arises, with an uncommon degree of compassion
and understanding. Intent is such a powerful
energy. If your intent is loving, love will
materialize in your life most powerfully. Your
personal relationships need to be looked at realistically
because they will only flourish with those whose
ego's are already balanced; or those who are
actively working on balancing their egos, those who
appreciate and encourage your creative and pioneering
spirit; and those whose own sense of purpose is as
intense as your own. You are a very strong and
ambitious person who is attracted to the strength and
ambition of others. These are the people you
love. And, by loving them as you would like them to
love you, love itself will flow to and from you in
great abundance.
