Sanaa Lathan
challenges and difficulties

Lathan doubts her own intelligence and mental capacities, and she may work very hard at studies in order to compensate for this. Sanaa is often overly serious and disinterested in light or superficial conversation. Spontaneous communication, social give-and-take, and making small talk are likely to be difficult for her.

Sanaa Lathan takes her commitments to others very seriously, especially in close one-to-one relationships. Her strong sense of responsibility to the other person makes Lathan a trustworthy and dedicated partner, but she often feels that marriage or any binding commitment between her and another person is too restrictive and burdensome, and thus seeks to avoid it. Close relationships may be more work than pleasure for Sanaa Lathan and it may seem that she is always "working on" her marriage rather than enjoying it. However, Lathan will persevere and ultimately grow through the process.

She prefers to work alone rather than with others. Content on her own, Lathan tends to become inhibited when she is with others, especially women. Sanaa Lathan may feel that the effort required to be with others is too great and probably not even worth it.

Lathan may find it difficult to relate to people and express her feelings, especially in love relationships. On the hand, Sanaa Lathan wants relationships yet on the other, she would rather be by herself. A sense of personal inadequacy makes Sanaa withdraw from others and feel lonely as a result.

Now we will discuss patterns of behavior which Sanaa Lathan instinctively and habitually reverts to when under stress - a mostly subconscious process that she is apt to over indulge in because it is so familiar and hence easy for her. The direction Sanaa Lathan needs to follow in order to develop balance, greater awareness, and wholeness is also described.

Sanaa Lathan's path lies in cultivating idealism and humanitarian feelings, being concerned with how Lathan's actions impact the world at large, perhaps becoming more aware of the social implications of Lathan's life style and personal choices or becoming active politically. Participating in organizations that support Lathan's ideals is one way to do this.

When under stress she is likely to become overly focused on herself and her own little world.

Instead of "how will this benefit or hurt me?" Lathan's focus needs to shift to "how will this affect us all?".

Ideally, Sanaa Lathan needs to strike a balance between doing for herself and doing for others, by discovering how Lathan's unique gifts can benefit others.

Sanaa needs to foster a healthy fighting spirit, pick herself up, and go! She also should learn to appreciate conflict and confrontation as a means to grow.
