Life Path Number 7

Seven is another cerebral number, and those with a Life Path number 7 have a loner quality. They need to learn to have faith. If they do not have faith they tend to become very cynical and escape through drugs, alcohol, work, and geography. They have a love of natural beauty: ocean, green grass, plants, flowers, etc. . .

Sevens have an air of mystery and do not want you to know who they are. Intellectual, analytical, intuitive, reserved, natural inclination towards spiritual subjects, aloof, loner, pessimistic, secretive, and insecure; are some of the qualities of those born into the Seventh Life path. A person who is a Life Path 7 is a thinker. If your Life Path is a 7 you are wise and studious. You seek truth and wisdom in all that you do, and search for the underlying answers in everything. Your tendency is to be a perfectionist, and you expect the same from those around you.

Because you are most comfortable by yourself, a loner or introvert, you happily give up the stress and turmoil of a busy life in favor of a quiet, peaceful life of solitude. 7 is a spiritual number, and most 7's are drawn to spiritual pursuits.

Your love of solitude can make it difficult for you to form close relationships. While you value your independence you may often feel lonely or isolated because you lack closeness with others. Because you spend so much time alone, you may lose your consideration for others and become inflexible. One of the challenges for you is to find a balance between maintaining your solitude while not becoming completely isolated. Seven represents spiritual focus, analysis, being original, independent; If you have this number people often feel like they don't know you; you are a mystery, and some may see you as eccentric.

Life path number 7 is the number of a higher awareness, a wider point of view. When all around you are admiring the trees, you're absorbed in the forest. Your lesson is to train yourself to see both. Below are some key points you might want to take into consideration to help you on your path …

You may be afraid of heights, but your heart soars like an eagle. You probably will always see more widely than most around you. Oddly enough, this can also lead to a seeming lack of attention to detail. Don't ignore the details.

Another way to describe your view of life is that you're frequently in touch with "the force." The energy of the world can seem like a pond with a mostly smooth surface. Watch the surface for ripples; many of them are caused by opportunities coming within reach.

You have a stable core, but the exterior can keep your friends and family guessing. You'll more than likely have several careers during your lifetime, or you'll find a way to keep it different and refreshing while you're doing it. If you owned a restaurant, the menu would probably change monthly, even daily.

Make your vacations into mini-adventures or learning expeditions. Take a workshop on something you've always wanted to learn and immerse yourself in it. Or, visit a place you've always been curious about and do the same.

There's a good chance you'd love learning to fly

I am a seven and a Pisces. Feb. 20. I feel like I fit into this description a tad bit. I feel okay being alone and people think I’m depressed but really I feel like I am better off doing things my way. I hate being told what to do which is not so good when having a job or a certain task to do. I love art and music more than anything else in the world. I believe that many Pisces are creative (ones that I have met are pretty artistic). I have such a unique outlook on life though. I see the good in people before they can even realize it’s in there themselves. I have this sort of gift to see things before they happen. I’m not a psychic but I do have a good intuition and I believe many 7′s have this. What my question is though: How do I know, as a 7, am I on the right path? How do I know that what I am doing now is going to work out for me in the end? I have been waiting patiently for something extravagant to happen in my life but I feel like I am losing hope.
Also I must note I have been obsessed with numbers since I was a little girl. Is it possible they can give me some sort of answers to life?

JR February 7, 2012 at 8:04 pm: Before building a path, you must decide what you want to achieve in your life (end goals) and where you want to be in, say, 20 years from now. Once you have determined what these are, you should compare where you are now with where you want to be, and set yearly, monthly (or even weekly) milestones to help you achieve your end goals. Setting milestones will help you to see where you are in your path, what you have achieved so far, what your next step is, and measure how well you are doing. If you set and complete challenging milestones you will be achieving amazing feats on a regular basis!

I am a 8 and my wife is 7 i was just telling her about this site, we work very well in our relatioship *Just saying.. =) thanks.

DaniellaG January 17, 2012 at 5:34 am

Hello EVERYONE,

All 7s, believe it or not, I went through and read every one of these comments and I can go top all of you. I hope someone can help me. I am the first girl in Australia to be born with a tooth. I went through puberty at a very young age, starting at 9 and finishing at 12. By the age of 13, I was diagnosed with epilepsy. I am the only one within “all” my family and my extended family. I give advice to people, career advice, major advice to chief executives and I have never failed anyone but I cannot help myself. I love nature and natural beauty. I never know what I am thinking because I think so much. My body amazingly freezes and shivers and I get a thought to do something. Sometimes I do it and listen, sometimes I don’t thinking its bogas…but the thought is always right. Every guy that doesn’t know me is heavily attracted to me. Every girl who knows me but is not close me is always mean. Every girl i don’t know stares me up and down like i am a threat. Not one person understands me but I just did my boyfriend’s lifenumber and his maturity age is 7. At the moment he is a 5. I change my friends as often as 1-2yrs. I hope things work out between me and my boyfriend. I am contemplating however seeing a card reader. What does everyone think??? This has been my daily life since I was 9??

JR January 17, 2012 at 12:06 pm: Hello Daniella,

I’m not sure if I had prenatal teeth, and I don’t have experience of epilepsy, but one thing is certain, neither of these are rare.

Having every guy attracted to you, and every girl thinking you’re a threat (or being mean/jealous), is probably because you are actually quite attractive. This should help you feel good about yourself !!!

So, the question is, why are you changing friends every 1-2 years?
Do you feel that you’re more dynamic than the people you meet?
Have you tried calming your thoughts, for example, through meditation?

Dani December 23, 2011 at 3:35 pm

What possible career choice should a seven go for?

Would I possibly be able to be a singer/actor? Or would the need for solitude overwhelm that? I’ve been on and off freaking out about that.

seven December 23, 2011 at 7:49 pm: Hi Danni. Personally I have so many different interests that I find it hard to find any one single thing to focus on as far as career is concerned, so I am probably one of the least qualified people to help you out in this respect : ) 7s are better off working at a job that doesn’t involve too much team work. We work better on our own. I am not too sure how well this would fit in with acting or a singing career, but if you are a solo singer for example, it might just work. If you love, crave or have a strong urge to do something, regardless of what it is, you should definitely go for it. You’ll never know if it’s something you were meant to do until you give it a try.
JR December 24, 2011 at 1:54 am: Pick a career that you think you’ll enjoy. Practice your interests at home, and try auditioning. Your desire and willpower is normally much stronger than any natural tendencies brought by your numerology.

misa December 18, 2011 at 3:53 pm

i am definitely a 7. its so crazy how accurate that description is so like me.

Oshino December 15, 2011 at 12:08 pm

I’m curious about life path 7 in combination with Aries O.o What’s your thoughts about it? Beside that i have as expression/destiny 11 and S.U 1….

shk December 12, 2011 at 9:00 pm

seven… I’d like your thoughts about being a life path 7, being a pisces, and being a water monkey at the same time….. just your thoughts.

seven December 13, 2011 at 8:10 pm: Hmm … as I mentioned somewhere else here before, it is probably better to look at each system … whether it be numerology, astrology, or eastern and western zodiacs, separately, because things could get very messy ,and you are bringing in another piece to the puzzle by introducing the Chinese zodiac, along with the elementals … great

Joking aside, and i also mentioned this earlier, I find that life path 7 and pisces combination seem to share many common traits, and to me it feels as though they really complement one another well. I am a pisces fire dragon, which is a contradiction in many ways, and it sometimes feels like one too, but it suits me. For you your water elemental complements your pisces sign, and a pisces monkey is supposed to be a more refined sign. The monkey and a life path 7 seem somewhat contradictory in terms of social behaviour, but complimentary in your curiosity about everything. My ex was a monkey, and she fit the description very well. I am no Chinese zodiac expert though, and I wonder how do you feel about your signs?
shk December 20, 2011 at 4:05 am: It feels like I have already learned everything but I still want to learn more… there are so many questions in mind, even though I can’t store all of the answers in me, I still feel that I really want them to be answered. Normally I’d just go around and search the net for almost everything for what I want to know, but deep inside everything is just not satisfying… this strong thirst and hunger to know myself, and knowing other people, always fuels my heart, but it does not burn without that single heat and spark that will get it going…

I wonder if someday I will be able to know everything >__>

Anyway seven, how do you think about SU=3, P=4, and E=7 ?
I think you can understand these already, I just like to know what you think about it
seven December 23, 2011 at 8:17 pm: Hi Shk,
Expression number deals with your talents/gifts .. 7 in this case indicates a craving for exploration of all things concerning science and philosophy, backed up by an analytical mind
Soul urge (aka hearts desire) is your motivation, the inner you. 3 indicates a generally friendly and optimistic, happy person.
Personality is usually what we let others see us as …or how others perceive us. 4 indicates trustworthiness and reliability.

About knowing everything … I don’t think there are enough years in our life time for us to truly realize EVERYTHING. I find that the greater a revelation, the greater the number of questions that ultimately arise from it, and so the search for the truth, or enlightenment, or whatever it is you might be searching for, is really never over.
shk January 4, 2012 at 9:17 pm: I see…
But life path is also like talent right? I’m a little stuck on what’s the major difference between life path and expression… And how I see personality numbers, they usually are ‘first impression’ of people.
seven January 4, 2012 at 11:01 pm: I think the best way to look at it is that the expression number represents your being, while the life path number is more about the road you are travelling. You are right about the personality number. I do provide free readings, and I am not sure if you got one from me, but it describes everything in much greater detail. If you are interested you need to fill out the form on this page – http://seventhlifepath.com/numerology-personality-reading/
shk January 8, 2012 at 2:44 am: ohhh… I see… so it’s why it’s called life path. so I guess people are more inclined in their Personality value than their life path? that’s maybe why some people have life path values that are not true to them but their personality values affect them more…

anyway I really haven’t tried a reading from here.. I just read the details here so far. I’ll give it a try
shk February 9, 2012 at 12:16 am: I received my reading last month but I forgot to say thanks xD
There were new things I’ve just seen like the Maturity and I’d like to learn more how I can associate every number in the reading

Andrea November 29, 2011 at 3:44 pm

Hello I was recently introduced to this and would like to know my numbers and what they represent my date of birth is January 14 1972 thanks in advance

seven November 29, 2011 at 5:58 pm: Well your life path is a 7 : ) … if you are interested fill out your information on my free personality report page for a full reading – http://seventhlifepath.com/numerology-personality-reading/
nykia December 27, 2011 at 10:33 pm: I’m nykia n this was kool it described me very well kinda creepy lol

Bernie November 17, 2011 at 10:12 pm

Smiles,,,Hi out there to everyone! I am an aries with a 7 destiny number born in 66.I married in my 7th house to a pisces gal with a 7 destiny number born in 59.We been together for 11 years and we still want to be together and yeah we love each other.A 7 married to a 7 may be the ideal or maybe a 7 married to a 1 like my parents were till death do them part.My wife and i are like social recluses popping in and out of one another’s lives each day .We like our aloneness but sometimes it is miserable because our families and friends just dont connect.I guess we are too weird or the energies of our soul makes them feel weird .I dont know what or why we dont connect but maybe the answer shall be revealed in another life what this is just all about .I am searching out here for answers like you guys are the same.I get this feeling deep inside i better grab something solid like joining the glee club or something because this aloneness is on the increase as my spiritual interests become increased .Peace and happiness be with you all eternally.

Mia November 16, 2011 at 7:30 am

I just found out my life path number is 7 and I’m not so sure if some of it really describes me. I don’t really see myself as a loner or am mysterious to others. In fact, I’ve always been pretty social and keep myself involved in something. I’m friendly and talk to people easily. Throughout my life I’ve always had company weather it’s sharing my room or hanging out with friends. Having young children, I’ve learned to appreciate “my space” a lot more. But I have always consistently had a close knit of family and friends around me. In fact, I married my high school sweetheart so I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a feeling of loneliness. However, I do feel more at peace when I have my “alone” moments which I’m now discovering I enjoy more and more. So perhaps, I’m finding a balance of both. I can see as my children grow older and I get more “alone” time I’m enjoying that more and more which I never really had much before. Perhaps, I’m only now discovering my life’s path and my past experiences has only helped me become a more balanced person. The other descriptions seem pretty accurate so the “loner” and “mysterious” aspect was my only discrepancy.

Oshino November 14, 2011 at 7:42 am

Yo~ young 7 Lp here~ (18yrs)
Pretty accurate I must say. I sent form for free reading, can’t wait to get full version of it

JR November 13, 2011 at 12:27 pm

Funnily enough, your last sentence about learning how to fly is somewhat related to my recent thoughts!

srisha balan November 10, 2011 at 10:12 pm

can i know my time of birth i born on 15th may 1985

seven November 17, 2011 at 10:20 pm: Hi Shrisha, there’s really no way of determining your time of birth from your birth date, short of asking your parents or relatives who might have been at your birth

dani777 October 31, 2011 at 12:12 am

Im a triple 7″ life*soul*destiny” and i feel soo damn lonely!!!!! i want a lover so badly i hope they can understand me

Mikheil Khananashvili October 30, 2011 at 10:38 am

My birth date. 25/08//1990 where am’i standing

seven October 30, 2011 at 11:17 am: Hi Mikheil, if you are asking me how you get your life path to be number 7, then here’s the logic : )
(25) + (8) + (1990) = (7) + (8) + (19) = (7) + (8) + (10) = (7) + (8) + (1) = 16/7

beanybudd October 24, 2011 at 12:13 pm

This is so eerily accurate. But I’m also a Pisces. And being a Pisces and a number 7 life path seem somewhat the exact same thing. I feel exactly this way inside. I meet people pretty easily, but I’m insecure in making times to meet up with them later and actually making a friendship out of it. I like to be alone. But I also like to go out and be by people. I feel like two different people sometimes. Maybe even 3. I can be that isolated person that just wants to be alone and explore my non religious spirituality or what not, as a way to unwind. To a person that is outgoing, realistic, confident, friendly, laid back, love of people, and outwardly fun. To a person that is insecure, emotional, sensitive, scared, anxious and doesn’t’ want to be seen. I want to be abel to connect with people better. I have this love for everything. But I can’t seem to keep the connection. I become missing in action. Socializing wares me out, as fun as it can be sometimes if I’m in the mood.

It’s also like the way I come off to people is completely different then how I am in my min. If it helps, I’m a Pisces sun, Libra moon, and Aries rising. An emotional, quiet, quirky, sensitive sun with a logical, indecisive but fair moon that isn’t very emotional, and a fiery, active, confident rising that is my outer mask. I don’t know what I am. I feel inside that Pisces mind set but I come off as that Aries. It’s so confusing. I know you only do numerology instead of of astrology but that’s the best way I could explain it.

Basically, I have that loner way of life, but I have that passion to not be and connect and help with people. But I always seem to go back to the loner ways of being on my own.

btw, I’m the same way as you.
“I am very skeptical about pretty much anything, even astrology and numerology itself are two subjects which my logical self tells me I should not take seriously, and yet, for some reason, they are so eerily accurate for me personally that I do. I also know that there are those for whom these types of subjects are never accurate, and so I completely understand why some people think this is all just rubbish.”

I know how illogical and nonsensical astrology and numerology should be, but everything describes me personally in words that I couldn’t have put otherwise. And this comes from someone who can never share a mind set that involves any religion or “God praises”. It is always so dead on accurate it’s scary. And I look at all the others and I’m nothing like those. Maybe it’s a coincidence, I don’t know. But the fact I am a Pisces and a number 7 life path… so weird.

Thanks for writing this

seven October 24, 2011 at 4:47 pm: Hi beanybudd, I am also a pisces, and I feel there’s definitely an overlap in the character traits for the life path 7-pisces combination.

I have to say, about what you wrote, about EVERYTHING you wrote … it’s as if you just stole the thoughts from my very own mind. Thank you back for posting
Jean December 15, 2011 at 9:08 pm: OMG!!! I’m a Pisces and I feeel the exact same way too! I’m not a life path 7 nor an Aries Rising, so it might be the affect of the Pisces Sun. Going to being friendly and sociable and people loving to not making friends easily and wanting to explore your own thinking to unwind…spot on!! Thank you for not making me feel so alone! Seriously, wanna email?

Irene October 17, 2011 at 1:26 am

HI 7.. it’s amazing how you describe the core characters so well, though i dont feel like a loner but i do appreciate calmness and peace. My spirituality is also should i say increasing as i grow older.
Thank you for having an insightful site that i feel helps most of us know who we really are and what we are capable of, most of the time we keep on trying to understand ourselves and feel confused.
It also helps us understand others and how better to relate to them.

Adam September 28, 2011 at 1:03 pm

I am a 7 life path.number 7 is always following me. this year is 7th year life span, and this year is the 7th year after my divorce, and this year is where I found my success in my career that I love, and this year 2011 which is my seventh year of life span is the year I am getting married. seven heaven, seven skies, seven planets, seven seas, seven continents, seven days. God used the 7th day to rest. 7 is lucky number and people with 7 have purpose in life in helping others. Think about it. I did find out I do have purpose in life in helping and loving others in need, I always wanted to help but I couldn’t as much I want to. and my seventh year is giving me the career and the success to do my purpose in life and make those people happy. I am alone but being alone helped me to find myself and concentrate on my career I’ve been pursuing for 3 years. I love nature, mountaines, forests, oceans, traveling, and socializing. life is great!

prashant sharma September 15, 2011 at 10:18 pm

I LITERALLY FEEL LIKE I AM SEEING THE MIRROR.
AND I LOVE TO FLY AS WELL. IN FACT, I HAVE FLOWN COUPLE OF TIMES AS WELL.

Kimberly September 4, 2011 at 3:31 pm

Yay! I’m a 7. This describes me well. Especially the loner part. …I like to get really close to people, but I’m always afraid they won’t be able to handle it. So I hold back. And I’m shy, and tend to be quiet until I get to know people well. Plus, I don’t really like small talk. But I don’t hate small talk because I’m “cold” or dislike people. I don’t like it because I hate the barriers it creates between people. Less talk, more understanding.

beanybudd October 24, 2011 at 12:14 pm: I’m exactly the same way as you! Especially the getting closer to people.
JR November 13, 2011 at 1:42 pm: I am very much the same. Most people can handle small talk easily and so I find mixing small talk with something personal about me (however difficult) tends to be the best approach to get to know someone better. I think my dislike for small talk is balanced with the relief I experience when breaking my shy personality

lance August 15, 2011 at 11:21 pm

well. this is odd.
my dob works out to 4
my wife came up with 7
in reality we are the reverse
she is like 4
I am like 7

bryan August 15, 2011 at 6:37 pm

i wish i could meet other sevens and just pick their mind and share whats in mine

Mary July 31, 2011 at 11:03 pm

I’m 7 Life path, with 9 Expression No & 7 Personality. Since in my early teens, I always feel I’m a loner; not lonely. My husband and friend always seek my advise. Investigative mind. We are not alone. In numerology, we learn to find out more of ourselves.

me July 28, 2011 at 9:40 am

this is very accurate

seven July 28, 2011 at 9:43 am: : )

David July 22, 2011 at 8:55 pm

I’AM a solid 7, Libra and interestingly born at 11:11

Jean December 15, 2011 at 9:09 pm: How cool, I was born at 11:11pm too!

Simi July 11, 2011 at 9:04 am

THANK YOU so much I didn’t know that even existed :0

Simi July 10, 2011 at 3:56 pm

how would a pisces 7 be described?
born feb. 24 1997

seven July 10, 2011 at 5:20 pm: Hi Simi, you are referring to Astronumerology, which I don’t do here. Numerology itself has many different systems and methods of calculating the many numbers that are in our charts, and at this time I only cover the Pythagorean Numerology System on this site. There are, however, others who do try to combine the two fields (astrology and numerology) so maybe look elsewhere on line. I choose to look at astrology and numerology as two separate entities and take from each what I can… I am also a Pisces 7 and both of the systems describe me quite well : )
JR November 13, 2011 at 12:15 pm: Thanks Simi – It’s somewhat relieving to see fellow Pisces 7s interested in discovering themselves
shk December 12, 2011 at 8:36 pm: seven… you’re also a pisces 7 like me. I wonder if pisces 7s have the same problem like discovering more, learning more, wanting to see more of the world’s everything…even if you can easily lost in a place sometimes XD

is it possibly just me or pisces 7s have difficulty finding partners?

cheers
shk
seven December 13, 2011 at 7:18 pm: @shk … it sure seems like the norm lol
JR December 16, 2011 at 1:56 am: @shk: It may be we’re all just keen in finding out more about ourselves, and as a result, we end up being in places (e.g. this site), reading comments from people who match our life path’s description (e.g. esp difficulty to form close relationships), and are tricked into believing everyone is the same. Perhaps the people who don’t match the description simply aren’t bothered to reply, and as a result, we think they don’t exist!

To answer your question: it is you. Now go out and improve yourself! XD
shk December 16, 2011 at 2:24 am: @JR wow.. u just said it….. this Christmas I was just planning to go to a hair salon (people say don’t go to barbers) to change myself even for just a little bit. One person that I know very well told me that to get to someone like you, you have to bring yourself properly, which I know that it’s hard because I’m not into fashion sense or any trendy stuff….. I guess I’ll change myself to get what I like (even for a little bit) or wait for another person like me (7.7.7.7……7—–) but they’re like… hard to find here >__> I haven’t found a pisces 7 like myself even once…

orz
Simi January 17, 2012 at 5:39 pm: I have the same problem of finding a partner! But I’m like 14…going on to 15…(like in the movie)
shk January 29, 2012 at 7:33 am: @Simi: what movie are you talking about?… XD
And I can also say to you that you still have many time to find partner. You’re still young
Simi January 31, 2012 at 6:39 pm: @shk i think it was Sound of Music, the song “I am sixteen going on to 17″. I’m not worried about the dating thing like most girls my age, it ends up ruining it for me. I end up feeling bored or restricted, just want someone to connect with. ‘They’ can call it whatever, I always hated labels but it seems the only way to communicate to people

rose July 6, 2011 at 8:40 pm

I am a 7 and yes.. I do feel lonely. It’s funny I can give the advice but I can’t seem to find the right person for me. Sometimes I feel like I am alone and nobody gets me. I just want to feel what is the purpose to life. I feel like its missing something everyday. Has anyone been to a fortune teller? I have I told since I was 12 from random card readers to spiritual readers and they all said one thing in common… I don’t even know if I should say. I might sound kind of stupid to people. Has anyone been to a card reader or spiritual reader or even maybe a fortune teller?

seven July 6, 2011 at 10:25 pm: I have once, but it was a free reading and they only answered two questions to which the answers were a bit too general for me to take seriously. I am very skeptical about pretty much anything, even astrology and numerology itself are two subjects which my logical self tells me I should not take seriously, and yet, for some reason, they are so eerily accurate for me personally that I do. I also know that there are those for whom these types of subjects are never accurate, and so I completely understand why some people think this is all just rubbish. Anyway, my point here is that I am definitely not going to judge … and I am very curious as to what it is that you were told : )
Theodora November 12, 2011 at 1:37 pm: Hi, I’m also a pisces 7, born in 78, also very sceptical but just recently decided that even though it makes no sense I choose to relate with certain aspects of astrology, numerology, etc., so I love the way you’re presenting yourself and your insight here!

It happens to me too that I can “see through” people, and all of the other traits that you mention, so my question is (related to rose’s comment): should I be worried that up until now there has been no one who I’d want to spend my life with?? I’ve had plenty of relationships, but I end them all.. And if that’s what’s “normal” about 7′s, and so we choose to NOT get married and have kids (I’m starting to come to terms with that), is there some purpose in life we could serve to fill the void?

I’m sure this is a complicated issue and I’m sorry for mentioning it casually in a comment, but any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated, this has been in my mind this past month every day and I can’t seem to get anywhere with it!! Nobody can help either, as if they’re all expecting me to answer it first and then tell them what to do!

Thank you!
seven November 13, 2011 at 11:36 pm: Hi Theodora,
Sorry for the late reply, I had to contemplate a bit on how to respond … as you say, it is after all a complicated issue. I have to admit I am in the same boat as yourself, and although someday I do hope to find that “right” woman with whom I can spend the rest of my life with, I am very content with being on my own. Regarding your first question, let me ask you … are you worried? And forget all the pre-conceived notions our society conditions into us about how we should live, when we should get married, how many kids is too many, etc., etc. … and ask yourself if the prospect of not having kids or not getting married frightens you. I thought about this myself, and honestly it does to a certain extent. After all it goes against our basic animal instincts, and so I believe it is natural to feel uneasy about such possibilities. You say you are starting to come to terms with that notion, I say “what will be, will be”. I really don’t know how to respond to your questions in this short format, as one could possibly fill a library full of books that are somehow connected to the topic(s). Regarding your second question, I often think that it is perhaps the very search for our purpose that is the purpose itself. Ever since I can remember, I have always found things to keep my mind busy and occupied, living in a world of illusion to a great extent, searching within my own mind for revelations that make me, me. Although I believe I am in control of my own fate, it is in reality only partially true. There is always the chaos, the randomness that is one of the basic units of creation, the element of chance. Some people call it luck, happenstance; whatever you may see it as, there is that which we cannot truly control, however, I think it is possible to shape, or bend to a certain degree through our actions and reactions. All I can do is speak from my own personal experience and beliefs and tell you to follow your heart and simply go with the flow. I believe that if you follow the right path, and this doesn’t necessarily mean the path of least resistance, that element of chance, or luck, or even an aspect of karma if you will, will lead you to that which you were meant to be and do. More often than not, this has led me down unexpected paths that I would have never imagined … this website, including responding to your comment, being one of them. I honestly don’t know what else to tell you, but all the best
Theodora November 14, 2011 at 2:46 pm: THANK you for your reply! I was looking forward to it, and I feel EXACTLY the same way as you’re describing..But I always think that maybe I’m missing something and there’s always someone knowing what’s best for me..In this case it was you! And mirroring my thoughts in your comment is the most helpful thing I could’ve asked for right now!

So all I can say is good luck to both of us, I’m sure we’re on the right track!;)
Best of luck with your site as well, looks like you’re helping a lot of people (part of the purpose!) I’ll be around!
