C--, the solution is always to have a bigger view of God.
For type 3, the challenge is to imagine and connect with a God that is big enough (and fair enough) to not only inspire other people to admire your self-development, but more importantly to also provide you with the means to inspire yourself to rise to the greatness that you're capable of. If with God's help you can amaze yourself with your growth, then it becomes less important (but also paradoxically more likely) that you'll also get the acclaim of other people.
If God is this big, then a person does not have to be so petty and small as to seek undeserved acclaim. There will always be a way for a person to be bigger than that, aspiring towards the greatness of God.
For type 6, the challenge is to imagine and connect with a God that is big enough and fair enough to provide worthy opportunities for one's vigorously loyal contributions.
If God is this big, then a person does not have to be so small as to cast their pearls before swine.
For type 9, the challenge is to imagine and connect with a God that is big enough and fair enough to provide a flow of peace, harmony, and unity, from within, even if one needs to stand against disunity from outside.
If God is this big, then no outward condemnation or commotion can ever be so great as to cut off one's connection with the infinite ocean of light and love.
Does this make sense?
