Effectiveness of Life Path

Life path and Expression number both are the most important elements of numerology.Life path is the opportunities that are given to us in this life time.This is a lesson that we need to master in this lifetime.On the other hand expression number,which is derived from our full name ,reveals our talents, interest, attitude,and inherent abilities.

When life throws an opportunity at us,we need to use our own capabilities and talents to make it work .So the relation between these two factors cant be denied.lets take an example. think of our life path as a bottle .The more higher  the life path is ,the bigger the bottle is.life path 1 has the smallest bottle and life path 2 has some what larger bottle,so on.Imagine that you are filling the bottle with a liquid which is represented by the expression number.A 1expression number represents just a little bit of liquid and 9 expression number will represents  much more liquid.so when the larger bottle has little drops of the liquid or the smallest bottle has a large amount of liquids then the things get messy.

A person who has 11 life path and 1 expression number  will have to work harder to use his abilities to take the advantages  of the opportunities which are presented  in his life time.The combination is ineffective,which will  produce a sense of frustration in the mind of that person.

effectiveness of your life can be found by following 2 steps.

A.we need to find the difference of these two numbers. we can minus the lower number from the higher number .example: 9-1=8 spaces.
B.consult the table below.

Life path higher than the expression by 6 or more spaces.
you have to work hard to find right environment to make use of your natural talents.you may become impatient, you feel people don't understand you. your growth and developments will proceed very slowly ,which can be  a source of frustration.learn to pursue your main lesson (LIFE PATH) at the natural pace that presents itself..be positive.

Life path higher than  expression by 3,4,or 5 spaces.
Opportunity are there but you need to work hard to take advantages of those.You must push yourself to that limit.this will lead your to your growth.spend time and effort appraising your strength and weakness.awareness about your potential will lead you to a positive development.Be realistic when examining available opportunities.

Life path higher or lower than expression by 1 or 2 spaces
you have potential to take advantage of the opportunity, quite easily.your natural abilities will find channels to get expressed.The environment will allow your talents to be displayed and appreciated.these things will bring much satisfaction in your life.

Life path lower than expression number by 3,4 or 5 spaces.
opportunities are present but not as many as you would like,often in an unclear and deceptive from.Learn to evaluate your  opportunities. if you have deceived or have been deceived , don't continue on  but change the direction..you have to develop your talents on your own-the people surrounded ,will rarely help you.develop faith in your capabilities rather that expecting aid from out side yourself.have patience  even though your development proceeds more slowly than you prefer.

Life path lower than expression by 6 or more spaces.
you will have to study your environment with care to find opportunities to take advantages of your natural talents.the people and situation you meet often don't present  poteintial growth.even if you perform well the results are not that good ..this can be a source of frustration.you have to do a real hard work to find a satisfactory path to utilize your talents.learn not to demand more of the world around you than is realistically there.pursue the main lesson in your natural pace.

what happens when this space-difference is 7 or more in either way?

its an ineffective combination it only gives frustration and disappointment.

Pick a Hobby

Today is life — the only life you are sure of. Make the most of today. Get interested in something. Shake yourself awake.Develop a hobby. Let the winds of enthusiasm sweep through you. Live today with gusto.
-Dale Carnegie

These days I am enjoying my old hobbies very much.I was never been so "alive" in the past couple of years,when I was living a life without them.Many people don't indulge in hobbies just because they think ,its nothing but wastage of time and money-not a wrothwhile thing to do.We always cant blame them for thinking  such a way.
As we  grow up , simple joys of life are replaced by many responsibilities and liabilities.So people either don't have time or don't have enough money to pursue one of their childhood's favorite pastimes.They often think it as another burden to be  added on their to-do list.


What people fails to understand that ,hobbies have a profound effect on us-physically ,mentally and emotionally.In short ,Hobbies have a positive effect on life.People doesn't necessarily needs to have an expensive hobby.Some very simple and easy-to-do hobbies can help us unwind. Personally I think hobbies are one of those things which are always "custom-made ".People can always choose the time ,tastes,size and shapes of their hobby.Hence hobbies has a flexible character in them.We feel freedom .We feel such passion towards it.We cherish it. We nurture it. We get emotionally attached to it, so naturally its close to our heart no matter what hobby it is. we practically "court" our hobby.


Having a hobby is always an uplifting experience.
We get such joy and fulfilment out of our hobbies that it cant be an unimportant wastage.with so much flexibility  with it ,why we repeatedly need an excuse to keep it at arms length ?anything with so much positive energy flowing from cant be all bad and wastage.Since it comes in all sizes and shapes its always advisable to pick up the positive ones.


why we need to have a hobby?what effects they have on our psychology?


ventilation
Hobbies often involves some kinds of self expression.Be it dancing,singing,painting, crafts ,even  in sports, where personal performance counts a lot.Pent up emotions(good or bad) which we often suppress can come out with the help of the hobbies.


relieves stress
A feel-good factor is always involved with the practice of hobbies.Its nothing but the release of endorphin hormones to our blood stream which relives pain,stress,fatigue,depression, headache,blood-pressure.Hobbies are known for boosting immune systems.Some hobbies like, free fall, skating or jumping can give the ultimate adrenalin rush.

Along with self-discovery it gives us the opportunity to discover personal -styles.Productive hobbies can make some extra cash which boosts our ego.


relationships
Interpersonal relationships  is another vital thing which we need to take care and hobbies can be a great means to do it.Hobbies teaches us to respect and learn about current social trends,exchanging ideas with a fellow hobbitist can inspire us.That's how people will take interest in us and in  our hobby and viseversa. Socializing outside ours usual familiy  and friends helps us  to broaden our horizons .it creates our perfect world.

competition

life of an approval seeker.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is- Albert Camus

In our daily life ,its not uncommon to seek approvals.As a social creature we must give importance to others' opinion especially if any of our decisions is likely to have an effect on those people..But some people has a habit of seeking approvals from other people.Its not that these kinds of people doesn't have  mind or will of their own,its just a mal adaptive behaviour that they continues to carry on.This blockage is not only creates many troubles in personal life,it might even have a negative effect in the psychology..

I have an experience to share with you,One of my relatives have been behaving like this for a quite some times.Everything she decides herself ,no matter how trivial it is ,she seeks out approval of others. Believe me It can be quite drainning if you are just a phone call away from such person.when I refused to give my opinion on a not-so-important decision of hers,she threw quite a tantrum,and went in to a a sullen silence.

 we know  that a pathologically dependent personality needs some serious help.But a person who seeks out people to fish for approvals ,needs some serious reality check.

It was not a time to be judgmental  on my part .I could sense that she was suffering inside.She was angry at me for my flat refusal to play along with her this time.

The first question which poped in my mind was,what could be the reason behind such behavior?

These things are certainly does not happen suddenly.If we probe deeper we might find a troubled childhood or an incident that might had shaken her to the core in the past.The truth  is when we don't approve ourselves then we seek out people who will do that for us.When we fail to accept ourselves as we are,this is  how we  attract attention and acceptance.So lack of self confidence and faith on ourselves may lead to a low self -esteem,which is the main reason behind such behavior.

When a baby is born ,he is dependent on his  parents and other adults in his immediate family.The baby needs an appreciative touch,an encouraging pat,a warm hug or praise.These things are equally needed along with his other needs .when a  baby can feel that he is accepted and loved ,he feels secure.
In case a baby is deprived of such  early environment ,it can affect his psyche .If his parents are absent or unresponsive towards him ,it can even kill a child.If  a baby doesn't get appreciative pats and praises while he is growing up, a sense of fear and insecurity takes over. As  the child grows up,  if most of his activities are criticized and disapproved,it can affect his self esteem negatively .

On getting 98% in the exam, a father's angry remark of  "what happened to the rest 2%?" can be a real blow to a child's self esteem.He grows up with a sense that he is not wanted ,his parents are not proud of him.Lack of encouragement and approval makes a child think ,he might not good enough.This self criticism gets rooted in the mind since this child is ever in the receiving end of criticism.Self criticism never let us realize our true worth.This lowers our self esteem.As he grows up  his subconscious mind signals him that his decisions ,his thinking might not good enough.

Gradually he learns to compare himself with the others.He often thinks what it is that he lacks.What makes the other boy so confidant and self-assured.He simply want to be like him.as he tries to imitate the other boy he  feels an emptiness inside his heart.A failed effort or two leaves his ego bruised.But EGO is a thing which needs to be stroked.Ego needs approval , acceptance , wants to be loved and appreciated in order to feel alive.At such times he reaches out for others  who can help him to feel alive.

It can  be manifested in many ways.The empty-inside people wants to be loved by other people.They often want to show other people how important  they are to him. how much their approval means to him.Actually he is the one who seeks to be important,he fishes for positive affirmations from others to feel good about himself.

Once and twice he might get lucky,which gives his ego a boost.Getting his ego-messaged by people can act as an aphrodisiac.The more it feels good the more he wants it.When it becomes a habit then it changes him in to a  people-pleaser.His every action and reactions are not his any more.He let himself get controlled invisibly by others.He has given his power to others.He has sold his individuality and cease to do things which makes him "Him".

Approval-addicts can be manipulated easily.This attention seeking behavior can be taken advantage of .Self-deceptive even self harming ideas are welcome to him as long as its approved by his mentors.These people often seek out people who wont disapprove his ideas..They might choose people who are easy to manipulate.These kinds of people often eliminates oppositions by seeking approvals before hand ,so he can shun off any blame latter ,if any such occasion arises.

Once he is disapproved  or shoved away by people,he becomes truly heart-broken.The old feeling of disapproval and  hurtful neglect comes back in his mind.Every body seems to critical of him, Always.He readily comes to the  conclusion that in the whole wide world nobody wants him.This sense of self pity can be quite destructive,self pity destroys our ego and ego is the most important thing when it comes to maintaining  mental balance.A deep depression sets in..

Its the story of every approval seeker's life.

Self-awareness could have kept him from falling victim of this perpetual cycle of  broken self-esteem.

 He lacked positive reinforcements in the childhood but as an adult he was still able to make decisions for himself.As a normal person he knew what decisions will work for his benefits and what wont.With the help of his best judgement he could have taken decisions,which he could have stick in to.
everybody wants to be appreciated, as a social creature we have this need too,but choosing wrong people to be surrounded himself with led him to the pit.He failed to understand that the emptiness that he has been feeling since his childhood needs to be replaced by healthy self-esteem.Which can be build.He should not have gone out to seek it.

People should do what makes them "themselves".In this world nothing is good or bad,it depends on the perspective,so trust yourself and do what ever it feels right.You cant please everybody neither you will be accepted by everybody,so why bother to seek approvals?Remember disapproval feels bad only when we try to act in a way that others will like it.

If we seek approvals we must be careful about  whom we choose for it.Because our ultimate goal should be  "reality check",we don't have time for biased opinions.
somebody has said,"confidence comes not from always being right but from not fearing to be wrong"
so accept yourself as you are.find the missing links and become whole.

1.You tend to do everything in excess.Take a look at the quote in the beginning! you need to act in moderation.Learn to exercise self control.Analyse where you lack self control and take action to fix that.Be more self aware.Brace yourself before you are carried away.


In order to do that you need to see the "Big Picture".You need to understand that your every action is a part of a major plan.Be it following a health-routine, maintaining  a monthly saving scheme or a particular topic of conversation..those specific steps should not get you distracted. This way you can become a quality person,not a quantity person.

3.Your natural verbosity , enthusiastic and friendly nature can be used in promoting things or ideas.Sales,promotional activities,illustrating or demonstrating things could give you a positive outlet of your energy.Think about promoting a worthy cause.Self -expression comes naturally to you. en-cash it.you are good with gaining favors.
