Life Path Three is not afraid of self expression and often uses it to get their point across. The Life Path 3 has a tendency to talk about what they know instead of how they feel. If they come from a place of an open heart, they can express themselves with great authenticity that makes them even more persuasive. While they have great skill in communicating, they have to remember that they can sometimes get a bit critical. While their charm is very useful, it can also turn hurtful if they aren’t careful. Life Path 3s also have a tendency to ‘hold it all in’ which can become a problem because they can bottle everything up. Feeling the need to put on a positive mindset can be a detriment if they aren’t able to process their emotions. However, when the Life Path 3 is at their best, they can show others how to take a humorous approach to life and learn to not take themselves too seriously. Charisma comes naturally to the 3, therefore they should spend extra time figuring out what they really want out of life, and that will allow them to be able to thrive tremendously in the future.
