Life Path Number 1
A person with Life Path number 1 is hard working, a natural born leader, has a pioneering spirit that is full of energy, and a passion for art. They have a strong desire to be number one, which means a person with this number can manifest very easily. Due to their determination and self motivation, they won't let anything stand in their way of accomplishing a goal. Their drive allows them to overcome any obstacle or challenge they may encounter, and they have the desire to accomplish great things in their lifetime. Their only need is to focus on what they want in order to achieve it.
Because Ones are critical of themselves, they can also be very critical of others. The Ones will not tolerate laziness from the people they spend their time with.
People with Life Path 1 are very independent and feel the need to make up their own mind about things and follow their own personal convictions. All this drive and determination means that they can easily become irritated when things don't go their way.
Innovation and creativity also are characteristics associated with this path. These folks are very good at starting new projects, and often take a unique or inventive approach to solving problems. Because of these qualities, and because multitasking is something they tend to be very good at, they are well suited to self employment and can be happiest being their own boss. A Life Path of One also means that they may possess the qualities to be a political or military leader.
On the negative side, if you are of Life Path 1 you can have a tendency to be self centered, egotistical and demanding. Because you feel a strong desire to be number one and to appear successful, you can easily become arrogant or boastful. Though you excel as a leader, you may have a difficult time being a follower, and are reluctant to seek help, which can cause you to be quite unhappy if you are in a situation where you are not in charge. While you are great at starting projects, you quickly tire of detailed tasks.
Your life path tells you what your life tools and lessons are about. Life path number 1 is a strong vibration, one of individuality and invention, and below are some key points you might want to take into consideration to help you on your path …
Be true to your path. You are quick on the draw and you usually see the opportunity in an idea faster than most people. Use that and you'll be happier.
Aim for a career that lets you be your own boss. You're better working alone than with a group and you don't take orders well.
Avoid getting lazy just because you're frequently quicker than other people. Use that energy to explore and achieve further on your own.
Take charge, step out and risk it all on a new venture. Nobody will do that better than you.

wow, all on the money!
Cool, I’m a 1
lol maybe joining the Army wasn’t such a bad idea. Maybe I can be a Captain someday lol
As a “one” I would like to say to all the other numbers get to work or get out of the way.
But seriously I do find myself in a lot of leadership positions not because I want to be a leader, but because no one else is taking up the job. And in the past I have had businesses of my own but now enjoy working for someone else, but could see myself quitting if my employer started giving me less free reigns. Does this seem like a typical “one”.
Hello!
This is fascinating, thank you!! It definitely describes my two daughters and husband who are all a 1. I’m a 4 and I worry that being the “odd one out” is going to be a problem in terms of compatibility. We are often at logger heads. My girls are 7 and 4 now and definitely independent.
Are we compatible? Thank you
Hi Tracey, you can have a look at my life path compatibility chart if you are interested – http://seventhlifepath.com/life-path-number-compatibility/
According to this I am a life path 1 bday 8/26/65 but I dont feel this describes me at all…. what gives??
thanks
HI Kim,
Although the Life Path number is the most important, and most popular, number in numerology, other numbers can offset its influences to some degree. I sent you off your numerology reading, hopefully you’ll find some answers in there : )
Thank you…. I am in a relationship with a 6 and was worried when I read we may not be compatable…
My life path number (number 1) describes me to a T. It couldn’t be more accurate. This is a fun and great read…Thanks
i feel lucky
I want to become a artist, musician in a rock n roll band to be precise. Does this fit lifepath number 1? Is it an occuring profession with this lifepath number? Are there artists in history with number 1?
Greetings from holland

hi. Very interesting stuff here….my hubby is a 1, and I am an 8. My question is what strengths and weaknesses do u see in our numbers being together? Are we soulmates?
Thanks,
Jennifer
Hi Jennifer,
Life Path 1 and 8 is somewhat of a challenging combination, although not necessarily incompatible – more information is here – http://seventhlifepath.com/life-path-number-compatibility/.
There are many factors that can influence our relationships, and I don’t believe any one number can tell us whether or not you two are soul mates. Even people with what are considered incompatible life path numbers may, in the end, be soul mates … and regardless of what astrology or numerology can suggest, that is ultimately for you two to figure out on your own.
Your numerology is pretty accurate. Given the opportunity, I can very extremely selfish and arrogant. But when I really, honestly have to share I can get over myself for awhile.
Also, the project-starting thing. I have started some absolutely INSANE projects, gotten a good head on them, then didn’t finish. It makes me want to rip my hair out. I have to keep myself extremely motivated and wanting it in order to finish. Any tips for getting to finish these projects?
tell me my live path no..

n please how cn i succed my life..gave me some ideas
Hi Sumit, your life path is 1: 11 + 8 + (1989) = 11 + 8 + 9 = 28 = 10/1.
“Success in life” is a very broad term and is measured by each of us differently. What success is to one person may be hell on earth for another. The best advice I can give you is to find that which you enjoy doing most. When you do find it, and figure out how to make a living doing it, then you can count yourself as one of the lucky few.
Great site!i will like to know my life path number.May 16,1987,thanks.
Hi Fadson, your life path is calculated as follows :
(5) + (16) + (1987) = (5) + (7) + (25) = (5) + (7) + (7) = 19 = 10 = 1
It’s like this. If you can’t drive it then park it! Get the hell outta my way. Standards & the grade curve must’ve fallen again. No skills? No scooby snack
I’m a 1 (reduced from 10)… hopeless/useless/miserable while an employee, seeing unbelievable success now that I’m self employed (and working alone… very important)
This is dead on the mark.
If your not a leader 1s, You should look into becoming one –From a true and blue one!
This discription does not fit me well at all. I’ve never been a leader in my life nor am I self centered. Yes, I’m hard working only because of my life curcumstances.
lack of leadership shows simply the lack of risk you are willing to take. the very fact you felt the need to post a comment shows you are egotistical and self centered. after all if you were not these things you would not have been insulted.
Hi Mandi,
Just want to say that you may have yet to discover things about yourself. You life path number is with you for your entire life. Perhaps your definition of leader could be looked at and even expanded. When I first discovered that I was a 1, I was in total and utter disbelief, but as I’ve opened myself up to parts that I previously denied and even suppressed, I’ve realized how potent vibrations are. Our vibrations are carried in all our choices, numbers, letters, ultimately, our consciousness. Attaining pure consciousness at will being the goal, I think anyway. The more I live, the more I realize we are really limitless in our potential.
My daughter is a ONE
Great site and great features ! Congratulations from a 1 !
