I see a numerologist from time to time and she mentioned a while ago that I have a very high Karmic number of 9.  
What does this mean?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Karmic Lesson  9

You must learn to be more compassionate, tolerant, and understanding. You have to learn to identify with the trials of others. There will be times when you will have to sacrifice some egocentric ambition for the good of a particular project or some larger goal.
You must learn to broaden your view of life. You have to see things on a larger scale. You do not realize the enormous potential you have in influencing your own destiny and that of others. Therefore, you hold back your efforts at helping people, or furthering a particular social cause. You have an issue with commitment to community or mankind.

Thank you so much!
Makes sense!

Hello...

Karmic numbers in numerology are the "missing numbers" in your birth name.

If you have an "8" missing in the numbers of your name, then that means
that you need to learn how to BUDGET YOUR MONEY! Also, it means that
you lack confidence and will need to learn how to gain control of situations
with confidence. You will need to learn these lessons in your lifetime.

I am a major 8, but have a missing 8 in my name, meaning:
Totaling all the letters in my name = an "8", but I do not have an "8"
number as one of the letters in my name.

I am still learning how to BALANCE my finances.

Because I am a MAJOR 8 [name], I do attract all sorts of money to me, but I
spend it just as fast! So my KARMIC LESSON is to learn to CONTROL
myself with my finances.

As far as the learning to CONTROL situations, I have passed that with
flying colors :O) lol

Health wise:  Being a major 8 number name, with no 8's means: I am
going to be MUCH healthier than an major number 8 name with an 8 in
their name numbers.
