V. The Specific Pitfalls of Life Path 6
Pitfall 1: Losing Boundaries
You help so much that you forget "which responsibilities are actually yours."
Solution: Ask yourself every week, "Do I really need to be responsible for this?"
Pitfall 2: Controlling Care
You "care for them" — but your care comes with your own way of doing things, so they must follow your approach.
Solution: Ask yourself, "Does this person truly accept the way I'm caring for them?"
Pitfall 3: Not Loving Yourself
You love yourself the least — because you've given all your love to others.
Solution: Do 1 thing each week "just for yourself."
