Humanity would go nowhere without these third line beings. It’s the only mutative line. It’s the only line that’s about money, because after all this is the material world. The great gift of the third line is that they can adapt to a lifetime of failure – their natural spirit is amazing. They will go through their whole life accepting that in the eyes of most they’re a failure. They’ll actually carry that to the grave and not fall down, not give up. It’s amazing. There is nothing sturdier.

If you can get past the fact that your third lines find out what doesn’t work, you can get to the fact that they will make money for you. They’ll enhance your material security, by providing you with valuable knowledge that you wouldn’t have had otherwise.

Every single one of those disasters, there’s something in there that’s really worth knowing, and of remembering. The real key is that you know how to do something better. The third line belongs to the school of hard knocks and we’ve all heard those monster success stories that rise out of that. There is dirt under the fingernails of a third line. They really get into it. The moment that they lose this psychological martyrdom, the moment they realize, “Look this is not what we’re about,” is the moment that you really have very productive human beings.

You have to recognize that not only is there no better or no worse design or line. One just needs the grace to accept what you are and to fulfill it as a potential. Also to allow others the grace to be what they are. If you’re going to work with somebody who has a third line, you have to be prepared to give them the grace to fail. It isn’t going to be a mistake, because in the end, if you have patience, you will see that it brings even greater rewards. It just does.

The third line isn’t here for perfection; their perfection is in discovering imperfection. Recognizing this changes their psychology, as it finally gives them the courage to trust themselves when things go wrong.
