Life Path Number 3 Personality & Compatibility Guide. Do you follow your heart rather than your mind in many situations? People with Life Path Number 3 fiercely follow their emotions and wear their hearts on their sleeves.

Life Path Number 3 is known as ‘The Flame’ 🔥 for these reasons.

They are spontaneous, intense, charismatic and their hearts burn with passion. Your favourite breakup song is probably by a singer with Life Path 3.

The Life Path Number (LPN) indicates what type of personality you have. If you haven’t calculated your Life Path Number yet then please use the Life Path Number calculator first to get your reading.

It’s very simple and only takes a few seconds to calculate. If you have done so already and your LPN is 3, then read on.

What Does Life Path Number 3 Mean for My Personality? 🧠

Passion is your driving force and your heart is the master of your decisions. You wear your heart on your sleeve and others respect you for your enthusiasm and frank honesty.

You may burn bright but you also burn fast; be wary of your energy levels and learn to manage them, especially around others.

You are happy-go-lucky and prefer the decision that feels right rather than the one that others tell you is best.

Carpe diem (seize the day or ‘YOLO’ in today’s language) is your motto; you live for the present–sure, tomorrow will come but you can never know if you’ll be around tomorrow.

Others around you that appear too slow and directionless with their movements, decisions and thinking can frustrate you; you are impatient and prefer actions over words, as long as those actions happen quickly and efficiently.

You aren’t a loner but you enjoy spending doing some activities alone for the above reason. Shopping, travelling or just going out and about–sometimes you enjoy the freedom of opening your sails and letting the wind take you wherever you feel like going.

Being around others constantly can make you feel trapped and miserable, especially when they deny you the freedom to act and move about of your own accord.

This is why we recommend that Life Path Number 3s allocate sufficient free time dedicated only to themselves.

Have you ever travelled alone or thought about doing it? Solo travel is one of the best things you can do for yourself as an LPN3.

It opens up many opportunities for your to embrace your spontaneity and follow your heart’s desire, wherever it may take you.

What are the Negative Characteristics of Life Path Number 3? 😈

As the old Lazo Tazu saying going, “the flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long”.

That doesn’t mean that you’re going to live half as long as others who don’t burn as bright but it means that you are more susceptible to fatigue than others.

You need learn to be conservative with your energy levels.

If your energy levels are consistently too high around others whose levels are lower than yours then your energetic demeanor may lift their spirits but you also run the risk of irritating them.

The same is true for the opposite too–approaching someone with significantly lower energy levels than their own can make you come across as a downer.

However, being a Life Path Number 3, the latter problem will rarely be the case for you.

The other caveat of your higher-than-average energy levels is that you are more susceptible to fatigue than others.

If you frequently find yourself exhausted then you need to learn to manage your energy levels better or train yourself for greater endurance.

Anaerobic exercise is best for increasing your endurance. We won’t go into detail but study and practice HIT (high-intensity training) and your ‘battery’ will naturally increase.

The final downside of having LPN3 is that you are often easily frustrated by others who you perceive as being too slow to move, think or act.

If you don’t exercise tolerance around others who are naturally slower than you, they will perceive you as impatient and might be offended by what they believe is a lack of manners.

What Professions Suit Life Path Number 3? 👔

Your passion for your work radiates around you, inspiring and motivating your colleagues to match your high energy levels.

You’re not just the heart and soul of the party; the entire office is moved by your contagious charisma and drive, even on a Monday morning.

Be wary, however, that you’re actually uplifting others’ moods rather than just irritating them.

Assuming, that is, that you work in an office. Perhaps your unnatural energy levels have driven you far outside the box.

You might be a chef; working under intense pressure in a boiler room-like environment could be your calling. Good kitchen staff require both intense passion for their work, not to mention relentless energy.

You might be a teacher; kids are often too physically and mentally draining for most people to handle. For you, however, your natural high ebb and flow of energy levels makes it an ideal profession for you.

In fact, anything involving kids is a great choice for you. Thinking outside the box of teaching in a school, you could be a dance teacher or scout leader. OK, the latter isn’t a profession but it could be a great, fun way for you to spend your spare time.

If you’re certain kids aren’t your thing then you might consider other roles in the public sector.

Working in the emergency services could be fantastic for you. Police, fire brigade, paramedics–all of these require buckets of energy, a passion for helping people and a sense of humour.

Just like being a teacher though, you’ll need to be confident that you have a thick skin before considering any of these professions. The public can be challenging to deal with even when in dire need of help, and distressing situations don’t bring out the best in people.

What Does Life Path Number 3 Mean for My Career? 👔

You have a burning desire for success and draw others in with your high energy and radiant charisma.

You’re at your best when enjoying the company of others at your workplace, and others enjoying your company at the same time.

You’re at your worst when overwhelming levels of stress snuff out the flame that usually burns so brightly within you.

Motivation comes to you when you’re confident that the work you’re doing builds rapport with your colleagues and makes you feel valued.

In a work environment you are:

• Passionate
• Intense
• Charismatic
• Energetic
• Erratic
• Spontaneous

When you have the right combination of environment, colleagues you get on with and work you love, you are an unstoppable whirlwind of productivity.

However, remove any one of these elements and you will find yourself spiraling out of control sooner than you think.

Life Path Number 2 Personality & Compatibility Guide. Is the pen indeed mightier than the sword? If your Life Path Number is 2 then you would probably make a very good candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize. You are an expert negotiator who radiates charisma and possesses gifted levels of emotional intelligence.

Stop! If you are new to numerology and want a more general introduction then please read our guide first.

The Life Path Number (LPN) indicates what type of personality you have.  If you haven’t calculated your Life Path Number yet then please use the Life Path Number calculator first to get your reading–it’s very simple and only takes a few seconds to calculate. If you have done so already and your LPN is 2, then read on.

What Does Life Path Number 2 Mean for My Personality? 🧠

Life Path Number 2 means that you are averse to conflict and you are at your happiest when you have removed it from all areas of your life. Your empathy levels are so high that some might say they are borderline telepathy; you can’t read people’s minds but your guesses of what they are thinking are frighteningly close. 

Perhaps some people have expressed shock when you have revealed your uncannily accurate reading of their minds. Either way, be careful about revealing your thoughts on what’s on others’ minds as they may be disturbed that you are attempting to probe them.

When you see conflict in the lives of others your natural instinct is to resolve it as quickly and peacefully as possible; after all, you are the Diplomat. You can keep your cool in even the most testing scenarios and other people losing their temper at you and others around you is one of your pet peeves.

However your aversion to conflict is a double-edged sword; sometimes you find it difficult to be assertive in the face of others who are being difficult. Perhaps others interpret your placid demeanor as a weakness and see it as an open invitation to walk all over you. If you don’t already you should learn to speak up when others are passive-aggressive or outright bullying in their manner towards you.

Loyalty is another of your virtues; you prefer having a smaller group of people who are very friends than a larger group of acquaintances. However, be cautious of others taking advantage of you; if they think your loyalty is unquestioning then they might try and abuse it. Your gifted levels of emotional intelligence means that you find deeper connections with others rewarding and stimulating, however you find excessive smalltalk to be numbing. 

Occasionally your desire to push your conversations to deeper levels scares others who are intimidated by anything other than the most superficial connections. Often you find that others are simply too shallow for you to feel motivated enough to get to know them; that’s not to say you’re smarter than them but your above average emotional intelligence makes it challenging for you to get on with these types of people.

What are the Negative Characteristics of Life Path Number 2? 😈

Having a calm demeanor can be a double-edged sword. If you are so averse to conflict that you constantly back down out of arguments and apologise for things that aren’t your fault, others will notice and take advantage of you. Some people are just bullies and are eager to find anyone they can abuse and get away with it.

Do you often find that others are rude to you for no good reason? Or others try to blame you or put you down at every available opportunity? They are abusing you because you are too passive. and will continue to do so until you stand up for yourself. They are hungry to feed their egos off of you and you appear too easy a target for them to pass up the chance.

You must learn to be assertive, but more importantly when to be assertive and how to do so without coming across as aggressive or passive-aggressive. Assertiveness can be defined as standing your ground whilst avoiding rudeness; be careful because there is a fine line between what others may perceive as polite assertiveness and rude dismissiveness.

We all know what aggression is but passive aggression is a toxic personality trait that can creep into all aspects of our lives. Offices, schools, chat rooms– to name but a few breeding grounds of passive aggression–perhaps you weren’t aware this type of behaviour has a name but you have been subjected to it on many occasions.

Let’s break down passive aggressive behaviour just to be sure we’re on the same page. Here are a few everyday examples of passive aggressive behaviour:

• Malicious compliance; following instructions in a way that will deliberately annoy others.
• Constant sarcasm but with a distinct lack of humour: “oh I’m sooo glad to be in the office today.”
• Feigning victimhood.
• Backhanded compliments, again with humourless sarcasm: “oh your shirt looks so well-ironed today, Karen.”
• Apathetic, dismissive attitude.

Now that we’ve discussed the type of behaviour to avoid we can focus on the type of behaviour that will suit you the most: assertiveness. Assertiveness is characterised by knowing how to say no in a way that won’t be perceived by others as rude. Here are a few everyday examples of assertiveness:

• Declining the offer of alcohol because you are driving.
• Resisting peer pressure to do something you don’t want to.
• Asking someone on a train to turn down their music.
• Telling people to hush if they are talking during a movie.
• Suggesting a different idea to your boss’s if you think it’s better.
• Asking someone who cut in line to go to the back.

Assertiveness is a sensible balance between passiveness and aggressiveness and if in doubt, you can rarely go wrong by being assertive rather than just passive or aggressive. However, as a Life Path Number 2 it’s unlikely you’ll ever be aggressive unless provoked repeatedly when you’re having a bad day. The lesson here is if in doubt be assertive!

What Professions Suit LPN 2? 👔

Considering that people with Life Path Number 2 are natural diplomats, it should come as no surprise that they are drawn to professions that require empathy and mediation skills. You are far from suited to the standard office drone cubicle job; you are a people person first and foremost–meaningful relationships are your oxygen.

You are best suited to professions like these:

• Lawyer
• Psychiatrist
• Counselor
• Nurse
• Pediatrician
• Politician
• Customer service representative
• Sales executive
• Teacher

At first glance these professions appear diverse–perhaps an almost random selection–but what ties them all together is their need for people skills. These professions can be broadly divided into two groups, persuaders and carers:

Persuaders: lawyer, politician, sales executive

Carers: psychiatrist, counsellor, nurse, teacher, customer service representative

Perhaps we should further divide Life Path Number 2s into carers and persuaders and write a different article for each but that could get very complicated and we might be tempted to subdivide them again even further. We’ve decided to only offer this page for information on Life Path Number 2s for simplicity’s sake.

Unlike other Life Path Numbers that favour autonomy (working alone), like Life Path Number 1, you thrive in the company of others. You are a people person in the truest possible sense and to deprive yourself of the company of others is a tragic waste of your great talents. This is why none of the professions we recommend to you are freelance or solo ventures. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t have an entrepreneurial spirit and not start your own business but you shouldn’t lock yourself in your room and do freelance work like a hermit.

If you concentrate on professions that involve caring for others then you can’t really go wrong as an Life Path Number 2s. You crave deeper emotional connections on a daily basis and it’s difficult to get that from regular work colleagues. Patients, on the other hand, are usually more than willing to forge stronger bonds that extend far beyond the superficial interactions most of us have with colleagues on a daily basis.

What Does Life Path Number 2 Mean for My Career? 👔

You avoid workplace drama whenever possible and are calm and resilient in the face of conflict when it arises. Keeping the peace at work is your way of ensuring that you and your colleagues are as happy and productive as possible. Your gifted levels of empathy ensure you’re always on the same page as your colleagues.

In a work environment you are:

• Harmonious
• Diplomatic
• Empathetic
• Conflict-averse
• Easy-going

You have all the traits of successful upper management written all over you. Your outstanding, gifted levels of emotional intelligence make you an exemplary people person but you must be careful that you don’t become too much of a people pleaser. What we mean by that is you shouldn’t constantly put others in front of yourself because some people will see that as an open invitation to start walking all over you.

Take the reins of your natural instinct to please others and identify first as a people person rather than a people pleaser; you want others around you to be happy but without making too many sacrifices of your own. If you are someone’s boss or responsible for managing multiple employees you don’t want to appear too soft; if they sense you are conflict-averse then they will start habitually calling in sick and late to work. Why? Because they can–you’re too nice!

Again we return to assertiveness, which we discussed in a section above. To reiterate, assertiveness is characterised by the ability to stand up for yourself or others and say no in a polite but firm manner. We won’t re-use the same examples of assertiveness but we will come up with some next ones in the context of the workplace:

• Confronting employees who are habitually late.
• Requesting doctor’s notes from chronically ill employees.
• Dealing with grievances in a calm professional manner.
• Sensing and resolving conflicts amongst other colleagues.
• Pushing back on tasks that you are too busy for or are out of your remit.

We’ve all had terrible aggressive bosses but how many of us have suffered from overly passive bosses? Perhaps you have also had the misfortune of having a boss that’s too soft, which can be just as bad. Picture this–a colleague is exhibiting highly unprofessional behaviour towards you and you feel its appropriate to file a grievance report against them. What if your boss is too soft to give them a proper disciplinary hearing, let alone fire them? Once you’ve experienced the unexpected pitfalls of having a soft boss then you will understand how easily it can breed a toxic environment.

How do I Find Happiness as Life Path Number 2? 😎

The short answer to how you can best find happiness as a Life Path Number 2 is simple: balance. We do, however, emphasise the difference between ‘simple’ and ‘easy’ because although the concept of balance is simple, attaining it isn’t easy. As an Life Path Number 2 it’s in your best interest to maintain harmony in your life through balance.

As a Life Path Number 2 you live and breathe harmony to the point that without it the very fabric of you starts to unravel. By harmony we mean harmony amongst others, of course–it’s absolutely no good being a loner because at you very heart you are a people person. To deny yourself human interaction is very dangerous, especially as a Life Path Number 2.

To use even more metaphors (hopefully without causing confusion), human interaction can draw you in like a moth to a flame if you aren’t careful. Some people are bullies or manipulators looking to exploit you emotionally or financially, but your gifted levels of empathy mean you’re sharp enough to spot people with these kinds of underhand motives wherever they crop up in your life. We don’t want to repeat ourselves too much but, again, assertiveness is a key skill for you to pick up if you haven’t done so already.

So, your key to happiness as a Life Path Number 2 comes from other people, but that alone isn’t sufficient information for you to start improving your quality of life immediately. How about another metaphor? Picture yourself as the Sun and your nearest and dearest as the planets orbiting you. The stars are people who pour your coffee in Starbucks or distant colleagues who you seldom interact with or any other strangers that play minor roles in your life.

The reason we choose the Sun metaphor is that the Sun is a lifegiver, much like you. You radiate love and warmth to those around you, but you also offer an axis of stability to those who orbit you. You are important to many people and that relationship between them and you is symbiotic or two-way; there is a positive feedback loop between you giving your time to them and them reciprocating. This is the balance in your life you should seek as a Life Path Number 2 if you wish to achieve true happiness.

Finally here’s another great post on Life Path Number 2.

Life Path Number 1 Personality & Compatibility Guide. Is it possible to be a great creative thinker and a strong leader at the same time?

If your Life Path Number is 1 then it’s very likely that you possess both of these traits whether you know it or not. You are a powerhouse for ideas that builds and leads with equal passion.

Stop! If you are new to numerology and want a more general introduction then please read our guide first.

The Life Path Number (LPN) indicates what type of personality you have.  If you haven’t calculated your Life Path Number yet then please use the Life Path Number calculator first to get your reading–it’s very simple and only takes a few seconds to calculate. If you have done so already and your LPN is 1, then read on.

What Does Life Path Number 1 Mean for My Personality? 🧠

You are a grafter–your creative energy knows no bounds and is the driving force of your relentless hard work ethic. To be creative and diligent–perhaps it seems an unlikely mix of characteristics at first but the more you think about it, the more realistic and relevant to you it will seem. 

To have Life Path Number 1 is to be greatly gifted with boundless energy; the energy to work hard and the other kind of energy that is creative. Your mind is constantly bubbling with ideas and others can have difficulty keeping up with your fast-paced thinking.

Cliched stock photos aside, Life Path Number 1s typically find their greatest success in life in business. Business provides the ideal framework for Life Path Number 1s to express their creativity and motivation to the fullest. We go into this in more depth in the ideal professions and careers sections below.

What are the Negative Characteristics of Life Path Number 1? 😈

Not even someone who is number 1 is perfect! Just because you have excess motivation and creative energy doesn’t make you some kind of superhuman; you are a human being with a delicate balance of positive and negative character traits just like everyone else.

It just so happens your personality works great for some but others find it draining.

Here are some toxic sides of your personality you may have from being Life Path 1:

• Frustrated easily by people who aren’t working as hard as you
• Energetic to the point of annoying others
• Reluctance in requesting assistance with tasks
• Disdain for those in authority above you
• You are a control freak

Don’t be alarmed if you have a couple of these negative traits, it‘s perfectly normal for us to have parts of our personalities we need to work on.

Being aware of them is the first step to self-improvement and that’s the whole point of numerology–to make the most of what you’re gifted.

Unfortunately, if left unchecked these traits can be a major turn-off for others who you may seek relationships with, whether platonic or romantic.

There are many great personality self-help books so we won’t go into depth here but the key is to try and be genuinely interested in others and let them do their fair share of the talking.

Whilst having tons of excess energy and ideas to spare, Life Path Number 1 isn’t without its downsides. Some may appreciate your talents as being a seemingly bottomless pit for ideas but you may start grating on others who will find you irritating.

They may grow weary of endless suggestions when they are only looking for one, or perhaps they are irritated by what they interpret as unsolicited advice.

Although you may feel like you’re helping, unsolicited advice can really grate on others’ nerves–especially if you suggest something completely obvious or an idea they have tried already.

Giving obvious suggestions can make them feel as though you are insulting their intelligence and patronising them rather than trying to help them.

You are a whirlwind of actions and ideas, but remember–a whirlwind is a metaphor for productivity as well as a destructive force of nature.

You won’t be quite as deadly as the latter but you can have a detrimental effect on others in your vicinity. Learn when you are being perhaps too energetic by gauging the reactions of others and tone it down as you see fit.

Try to be aware of your energy levels in relation to those of others; if there is too much of a difference then it will usually result in an enjoyable interaction for the other person.

As a Life Path Number 1 the difference will almost always be your energy being too high above theirs, which will result in you coming across as far too hyperactive for the other person to deal with.

The opposite problem is one you’re more likely to face; people whose energy levels are far below yours. If you’re interacting with someone and they seem unenthusiastic then you might feel confused or even hurt by their seemingly apathetic attitude.

Don’t let the negative sides of your personality revealed by Life Path Number 1 get you down!

What Professions Suit Life Path Number 1? 👔

Some people with LPN 1 are struggling artists; sculptors, painters, carvers, drawers, cartoonists, musicians, buskers, authors, bloggers, playwrights, etc.

They are struggling because they have only harnessed the creative side of their personality and neglected the other side: the leader.

On the flipside, if you have only embraced the leadership side and neglected your creative instincts then you might end up stuck in a low-tier management position like in a retail or small office environment. 

The people with LPN 1 who have harnessed both their talents for creativity and leadership are often orchestra conductors, art directors, gallery curators, music label managers, film directors and other roles that require both skills.

You must acknowledge both the artist and the leader within you to succeed.

You were born with an entrepreneurial spirit and struggle to thrive under the employment of others. Whether your business is a lemonade stand or a multinational giant, you are at your happiest and in your element when being your own boss and calling all of the creative shots.

If you do work for someone else’s business, you enjoy autonomy and creative freedom the most and detest micromanagement.

When you’re in the driving seat of a project that’s important to you, you will give it your 100% and see it through from start to finish, even working additional unpaid hours just to hit a deadline with the desired quality of work.

What Does Life Path Number 1 Mean for My Career? 👔

You have an entrepreneurial spirit and a disdain for authority, making you an excellent business owner or freelancer but a poor employee.

You’re at your best when you’re in a position of authority and you’re at your worst when you have others micromanaging you. Motivation comes to you naturally but only when you’re in control of your own workflow.

In a work environment you are:

• Self-driven
• Autonomous
• Creative
• Industrious
• Diligent
• Difficult to manage

You are very hard working but you won’t necessarily put your maximum effort into any old job; your heart must be in it and it must have a positive feedback loop so that the rewards justify your effort.

It’s difficult for your to find the motivation to work hard without this positive feedback loop–don’t be in a rush to accept the first job offer you get, it’s better to wait until the perfect opportunity comes along.

You function poorly when working under superiors, especially if they have a hands-on management style. If you are not a superior yourself or a freelancer, you will struggle to cope under a hierarchical work environment.

You detest being micromanaged because you are a creative powerhouse and can’t tolerate being merely employed as a builder rather than an architect (hopefully that metaphor makes sense but you want to be employed for your brain rather than just your hands).

Your worst nightmare would probably be working under another Life Path Number 1–someone just like you as your boss! At least you are aware of the annoyances of micromanagement so it’s less likely you will inflict it on those under your authority.

Your natural disdain for your superiors is also driven by your ethos that respect is earned by competence and knowledge rather than by mere status alone.

The positive side of this means that you do function well under superiors who you deem worthy of their position, due to their superior knowledge or well-reasoned justification for prioritising certain tasks over others.

Perhaps your good-natured instinct of asking ‘why?’ can rub superiors up the wrong way, but if so then maybe they should be asking ‘why?’ themselves before giving orders.

Another problematic workplace situation you can find yourself in is one that lacks a positive feedback loop. When there is no incentive to complete tasks, why bother completing any in a timely manner when your only reward is simply to be given more tasks?

Such an environment makes it extremely difficult for you to find motivation in; you’re far from lazy but you’re a natural-born entrepreneur, not a mindless drone.

Commission-based work like some sales jobs, especially with autonomy, can be good choices for this reason. However, sales jobs often have limited scope for creativity this can also stifle your motivation.

Whatever career path you pick, your boundless creativity and motivation will drive you to the top of the pack; just remember that you don’t have to have a traditional career and join the rat race with everyone else–you are capable of achieving greatness and not thinking out of the box could be wasting your potential.

What Does Life Path Number 1 Mean for My Relationships? 💑

You like to be the one ‘wearing the trousers’ in a relationship, whether you’re a man or not; Life Path Number 1s are naturally dominant and don’t do well when with partners who also like to be in charge. This is why we don’t recommend that Life Path Number 1 partner with other Life Path Number 1s.

In relationships, Life Path Number 1s are:

• Domineering
• Controlling
• Possessive
• Intense
• Passionate

It’s not necessarily a bad thing that Life Path Number 1s are dominant and controlling; some partners prefer to let their partner have the wheel anyway.

However, as mentioned above, two Life Path Number 1s in a relationship together can spell disaster because both are naturally inclined to wrestle for the wheel; neither will be happy being the submissive partner so the relationship will be difficult to maintain in the long run. 

Even the most mundane situation can become a power struggle between two Life Path Number 1s , such as reading the mail before the other partner wakes up or choosing the groceries. The power struggle could be so intense that even a relationship or marriage counselor could have a difficult time resolving it.

If you must be in a relationship with a fellow Life Path Number 1 then the best advice we can give is to both acknowledge that you can’t be locked in an eternal power struggle but must work together and focus your creative energies on a common goal. A common goal could be something as simple as gardening or decorating, or as complex as running a business together.

Good partners for you are LPN3s, LPN5s and LPN6s, in numeric order rather than order of preference; people with these LPNs tend to be more passive and actually feel more comfortable when letting the other partner take the wheel.

However, they will resent you if you walk all over them and don’t allow them to have a voice. You can view the individual pages for each of Life Path Number 1 , 2 and 3 but none of them will fight you for control as hard as another Life Path Number 1 will.

You often hide your thoughts and emotions in a relationship because they have trouble expressing their feelings.  This is why we recommend that you stick with partners who are better emotional communicators.

This isn’t to say that you have low emotional intelligence–quite the opposite, but you shy away from discussing your feelings because you feel uncomfortable or embarrassed.

You’re like an emotional tortoises stoic and determined, and soft on the inside.

Like the tortoise in the race with the hare, you are a stayer and will push through obstacles with grit and determination.

However, the tortoise in the race is slow and steady, and if your partner is fast and erratic like the hare then you may have difficulty keeping up with their spontaneity.

How Do I Find Happiness as a Life Path Number 1? ☺️

You need to be the one at the wheel if you want happiness in your work and relationships.

However, it’s not enough to merely be in the cockpit of your life choices; you also need an outlet for your creativity if you want to attain true happiness. Be cautious about how your controlling nature can affect others around you.

We have already discussed this in the sections above but we still can’t stress the importance of avoiding situations that stifle your lust for creativity and freedom of choice.

Situations that deny you of one or both will be unrewarding or even depressing for you to say the least.

Did you find your school years to be unrewarding and lack the kind of challenge you wanted in your youth?

You were probably one of the sharpest kids in class but your grades didn’t reflect that, your parents were probably sorely disappointed in your performance.

You may have even had a long school rap sheet of detentions and suspensions for poor behavior. In short, you were an underachiever at school but none of that is relevant anymore as a working adult. 

Education techniques differ vastly between cultures but most rely on the pupils obeying their teachers without question–this is most likely why school failed you and didn’t bring out the best in you.

However, school is not meant to offer a bespoke education tailored to the individual but an efficient means of educating the masses, which for the average person is fine but you are not the average person so it could never have been very effective for you.

Ultimately though, grades don’t mean anything in the real world if you can find your own ways of making your fortune.

Many entrepreneurs have succeeded not because of their education but because of their character.

Grades are social construct for the masses who want to compete in the rat race–if you’re going to do your own thing then what use are grades anyway?

Talking of social constructs and constraints like grades, you are at your happiest when working on tasks that get you closer to your goal.

Red tape is your enemy and others who you perceive as bureaucrats and jobsworths that enforce petty rules or bureaucracy upon you are naught but obstacles in your pursuit of success.

Other people are often distractions, especially colleagues asking for help and superiors assigning you tasks.

You understand that helping others is part of life but you can’t help feeling annoyed that your time could be better spent on your own projects.

People interrupting your workflow and forcing you to multitask are a nuisance and irritate you more than anything else. You are at your happiest when working with your favourite music on in an empty room.

As the old adage goes, you need to play to your strengths and individualism is yours; you are not a sheep and if you live your life like one you will never truly be happy.

You are a free spirit and going your own way is your most reliable route to happiness.

Don’t be waylaid by naysayers who criticize your unorthodox life choices–they are probably just jealous of a real out-of-the-box thinker like you anyway.

Playing life too safe is the most likely route to stability but also mediocrity and the latter will never satisfy you.

What Famous People Have Life Path Number 1? 😎

Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, Cleopatra and J.K Rowling are all famous people with Life Path Number 1.

Walt Disney

Although his political views were controversial, Walt Disney is the mid 20th century’s best example of a successful Life Path Number 1 individual.
