Channel 28-38’s gift is your ability to navigate struggles and inspire resilience in yourself and others. You are here to champion authenticity and advocate for the truth, helping those around you confront their challenges with courage and determination. When you are aligned with your gift, you can transform struggles into opportunities for growth and inspire others to embrace their journeys. 

However, when you’re in the shadow, you may struggle with overidentification with struggle, cynicism, or victim mentality, which can limit your ability to connect authentically with yourself and others. By embracing the potential for growth in every challenge, you can reclaim your gift of struggle and empowerment to uplift both yourself and those around you. 

When you have the Channel of Struggle, reflecting on how you engage with life’s challenges and pursue meaningful endeavors can help you embody this channel’s gifts. This channel is about finding purpose through perseverance and channeling struggle into meaningful growth, seeking a life that feels deeply worthwhile. Here are some questions to ensure you’re using the gifts of Channel 28-38 effectively:​

Am I engaging in challenges that feel meaningful to me, or do I sometimes find myself in struggles that drain my energy without purpose? Reflecting on this can help you stay connected to struggles that align with your values and avoid pursuits that feel empty or unsatisfying. 

Do I recognize the strength I gain from overcoming obstacles, or do I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the difficulties I encounter? This question encourages you to see your challenges as sources of personal growth, helping you build resilience and inner strength through each experience. 

Am I clear about my values and what makes my life feel purposeful, or am I still exploring what gives me a sense of meaning? This can help you refine your understanding of your core motivations, guiding you to focus on pursuits that resonate deeply with you. 

Do I allow myself to rest and reflect, or do I push myself through struggles without taking time to recharge? Channel 28-38 carries intense energy, so balancing periods of rest with active struggle allows you to maintain your strength and enthusiasm for the journey. 

Am I willing to let go of battles that no longer serve me, or do I feel the need to see every struggle through to the end? Reflecting here can help you identify when it’s time to move on from challenges that don’t contribute to your growth, freeing up energy for more meaningful pursuits. 

How do I approach obstacles—am I able to see them as part of a purposeful journey, or do I get frustrated or discouraged by the difficulties I face? This question encourages you to see your challenges as stepping stones, each offering insight and adding depth to your life’s story. 

Do I connect with others who support my journey, or do I often feel like I’m struggling alone? Reflecting on this can help you find supportive relationships that appreciate your drive for purpose, helping you feel connected even through times of struggle. 

Am I mindful of how my determination impacts those around me, particularly when I’m deeply focused on achieving something meaningful? This question helps you balance your drive with awareness of others, allowing you to engage in meaningful pursuits while maintaining harmony in relationships. 

Reflecting on these questions helps you use the gifts of Channel 28-38 to create a life filled with purpose, seeing each struggle as an opportunity for growth and embracing a path that feels deeply fulfilling.
