Second Challenge Age: 32+ 9=41

Fourth Challenge Age: 50 to death

ONE (1): When 1 is your Challenge, you're learning to stand up for yourself, be true to your own ideas and beliefs, be self-reliant, and find the courage to lead. You'll face test after test to determine if you've ultimately learned to stand firm and not compromise yourself. When the 1 is the First Challenge, you're learning to recognize that you have a self; while in the other Challenge positions, it means you're learning to remain true to this self and have self-confidence.

Allie listened to what the Professors Challenge number was, and raised her hand.
"Well for the "duality, is that it requires constant vigilance to stay balanced in the juggle between two seemingly opposing forces. " I think that means you had to learn had to deal two people that maybe didnt get along. Such as two friends that didn't like eacother, or even divorced parents." she said.
"And eventually you would have learned to deal with them. Also that you would need to learn how to be more sensative towards others." she finished. She wasnt sure if it was right, it had sounded better in her head, but she thought it was better to answer than say nothing at all.

Naturally at our age we try to seek out the approval of others, specially people our own age, to feel accepted, to not be left out. But therein lies the problem: that as we keep listening to other people's opinion, our own ideas, our own sense of self, is cast aside for the sake of being appealing to others. The opposite can be said of those who doesnt care about the views of others, who only care for their own opinions and their own feelings. The result is a case of egotism or extreme self-importance.

The challenge is to find the "middle road" so to speak. Listen to what other people say, consider their feedback, however do not sacrifice your own thoughts and opinions in the matter. I guess the goal for those who has this Challenge number is to find a compromise between the opinions of others and their own."

Steelsheen then proceeded to calculate her Life Challenge numbers:


06/05/2054
6-5 = 1
First Challenge= 1

First Challenge Age= 36- Life Path Number
36- 22
36- (2+2)
36-4
First Challenge Age= 32
Age Range= 0-32

My Challenge Number:

"Professor, I think that your challenge indicates the tug-of-war between adolescence and adulthood. Its about the inner growth that you had to face learning to stand up for yourself and your beliefs, while also having compassion for those around you. Its about becoming independent and self-confident and taking others' feeling into account throughout the process. Its about becoming a well rounded individual."

First Challange number = 3
she then looked back to last lessons notes and wrote down her first challange age
First challange age: 36 - 4 = 32 Birth to 32

Once Crissy had done all this she went to her text book and copied down the discription to go with her challange number
When 3 is your Challenge, you're learning to recognize your emotions and speak from the heart. Learn that your words have a significant influence on your life as you may be critical with your words. The negatives of the 3 must be overcome, so work to abandon superficiality, aggrandizement, gossip, conceitedness, and speaking just to hear yourself talk. Under the 3 Challenge, work to use your creative energy to form a loving, positive, and joyful spirit and realize pure, unadulterated happiness.

Crystal looked at her work, it didnt look right to her so she put her hand up, Professor is this right?
