Peace is the objective for the Life Path Number 2.
For the Life Path Number 2, it may be necessary to situate yourself close to those in positions of power so that you can gain their attention and trust.

But without an acceptance for what you are here to accomplish, you may encounter serious problems as to where you actually stand in this competitive and aggressive world.
With a Life Path Number 2, the talents you possess - whatever they may be - are your “stepping stones” to accomplishing your vital mission. Your emotional nature will provide the information - the intelligence - as to how peace can be created out of the chaos we now call life. You have the ability to feel, intuit, and sense your way through life. This is a gift you must become comfortable with. It is your recognition of reality which makes you so sensitive in the first place. But it is your acceptance of reality, and your burning desire to change, and not just camouflage realities that are painful, which will bring you out of emotional extremes and into a position of power.
The Life Path Number 2 emphasizes emotion, which is the most positive driving force of humanity. But it has not yet been recognized as such. Until our emotional realities are accepted as positive factors of life, your own emotions may tend to overwhelm you. Just as the power of emotion has not yet been recognized, you have not yet been recognized as the powerful being that you are. Humanity’s misunderstanding of emotion has led us to deny our true feelings to an extreme degree.
There is a tendency in the Life Path Number 2 individual to gravitate toward one extreme or the other, making some of you extremely over-sensitive, shy, humble, passive, and self-depreciating - or - extremely aggressive, angry, controlling, judgmental, and even cruel. Some individual with a Life Path 2 have to pendulate back and forth between the two extremes before a comfortable balance is achieved. Both extremes are created by fear. Your various fears, therefore, are emotions which must be faced head-on.
There is an inherent shyness in most Life Path Number 2 individuals. But if you remain true to yourself and follow your deepest feelings, your humility will be seen by others as radiance and dignity. Remember that it is your acceptance of your own unique reality which makes you so utterly persuasive and believable. Acceptance of your own reality is intelligence - and the very key to traveling the Life Path 2 safely and successfully.

You realize that, in some way, you are related to all human beings.
The Life Path Number 2 provides opportunities for you to become an organizer, facilitator, and peacemaker. You will frequently find yourself in situations where your cooperation is required.

As time passes, the people you introduced to each other may themselves become friends or even partners. You may not be the leader of this pack, but without you there to keep making the connections, the pack would not have existed in the first place.
Having a Life Path Number 2, your younger years may have been difficult because, although your efforts were visible, and often invaluable, it is unlikely that you received full recognition or acknowledgment for your intelligence, contribution, or talent.

You may have found yourself in a position of leadership early in life, only to realize that your particular brand of leadership was not dynamic enough and was too idealistic for this aggressive world. It is part of your life’s experience to learn to feel comfortable with other people getting credit for your ideas and your work. But that was then. Now is a different story.

A strong intuition is one of the Life Path Number 2’s principle gifts.
In order to “hear” your intuitive voice, it is necessary for you to calm down and relax with everything that is going on inside you, and around you. As an individual with a Life Path Number 2, you must learn to do what you want to do in life without dominating a situation, or without hiding your light under a bushel.

With a life Path Number 2, a certain amount of nervousness is inevitable because you may not be able to understand where this power has suddenly came from or what you are supposed to do with it. You may question whether it is real or not - or whether you are somehow deceiving the people who have become your admirers and followers. You may want to back away from this exciting but demanding role. If you do back away from it, you will be dissatisfied because you will know that you are capable of so much more. You may become frustrated with yourself for dreaming about what could be, instead of simply doing it.
Having a Life Path Number 2, you have probably always been aware of your “special” qualities. But you were rarely able to define them or put them to constructive use in your younger years. That is because you could not bring yourself to believe just how great your potential is. But, as time passes, and your emotional nature receives more acceptance from your spiritual mind, you cannot help but feel the power that comes with this balancing of your energies. Real spirituality has little to do with religion or philosophy. There can be no monopoly on something as incredibly personal as the evolution of your own consciousness and your own Will. Although the spiritual journey is a vital and life-giving one for us all, it is a unique and individual experience which can be taken as far as you want to take it - or completely ignored. For some, life is a spiritual journey which eventually leads to the understanding of emotion. Yours, however, is an emotional journey which will bring you deep into the spiritual realities of life.
As an individual with a Life Path Number 2, relax with your intent to find the truth, and the truth will soon present itself. Allow yourself to “tune in” to your intuition. Do not allow your thoughts to control your feelings but, rather, allow your feelings to express themselves freely. Then notice how much more deeply you are able to think. This takes trust, courage and persistence, but it will enable you to live “in the moment”, instead of being anchored to the past, or always worrying about the future. Never deny what you are feeling. It is not the feelings you hide from others that are important here but, rather, those feelings you hide from yourself! FEEL your feelings so that you can know the truth of what has caused them, and how they need to be expressed. So much new intelligence can be gained from this ongoing experience. It is not enough to simply acknowledge your emotions on an intellectual basis. You must experience them. Let them pass through you and out of you. This brings you to a state of emotional freedom and prevents you from becoming involved in things you do not want to be involved with. Only by feeling your feelings will you be able to navigate the Life Path 2 successfully. This loving energy requires you to sense your way through it, rather than push or force your way. To sense is to feel!
You are special! With a Life Path Number 2, you are capable of great accomplishments. But, of course, this is relative to your perception of what accomplishment is. For some, it is to find fame and fortune while, for others, it may be to live comfortably and quietly in an atmosphere of love and harmony. Others may be so disappointed in the way the world is turning that they will want to do something specific to change its course. In this regard, it should be understood that the first thing any of us must do to change the world, is to change ourselves, on an individual level, toward the direction of Free Will. Without the freedom to decide the courses of our own individual lives, neither love or peace can prevail.
Your Life Path Number 2 allows you to inspire others by your own example, and illuminate the way for them, simply by being yourself and doing what you want to do. You have more potential than most to learn from the drastic changes that are now taking place on Earth, and to show others the way to peace.
