Nan Martin
challenges and difficulties

Nan Martin has a critical, cynical attitude towards many religions and philosophies. Without realizing it, she prevents herself from appreciating new viewpoints and attitudes. Martin is more rigid and dogmatic than she realizes. Her approach may also be too intellectual or moralistic. Nan Martin takes her own political beliefs and spiritual philosophy very seriously, worrying and fretting if she is not 100% clear about some ideology or theory.

Her fears revolve around money and material security, and Nan Martin works very hard to ensure that her assets are solid. She may be very conservative, even stingy with her money because she is afraid there will not be enough. She may turn this fear around and become very shrewd about investments and financial matters.

She is likely to find it hard to make decisions, looking forward to the future with great enthusiasm on the one hand, but afraid of misjudgments on the other. Never quite sure about anything, Nan Martin may periodically withdraw from situations and people.

The direction Nan Martin needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Nan Martin needs to take what she has learned (either through formal education or her own questing and life experience) and share it with others, communicate it or express it in a way that can benefit others. Knowledge and understanding, which does not enhance either Nan's quality of life or that of persons in her world, is of little real value. Putting Martin's understanding, philosophy, and convictions into practice in her daily relationships, and in the multiple choices she makes every day, will enable Nan Martin to really test her belief system and discover more about life.
