Okay, so I kept seeing the number 4999 everywhere. On license plates, receipts, clocks – it was seriously following me around. I’m not usually one for “angel numbers,” but it got to the point where I was like, “Alright, universe, I’m listening!”
First, I grabbed my phone and did a quick search. I mean, who doesn’t turn to the internet for this kind of stuff? I scrolled through a few websites, and they all generally said the same thing: 4999 is about wrapping things up, finishing cycles, and getting ready for something new. Big changes, basically.
My Little Experiment
I decided I’d try to actually do something with this “message.” It felt a bit silly, but hey, why not?
- Day 1: The Purge. I went through my closet and got rid of a TON of clothes I never wear. Like, bags and bags of stuff. It felt surprisingly good.
- Day 2: Unfinished Business. I made a list of all those little projects I’d started and abandoned. You know, the half-knitted scarf, the online course I never finished… that kind of thing.
- Day 3: Taking Action. I actually picked one of those projects – finishing a short story I’d started – and worked on it. It was tough, but I pushed myself.
- Day 4-7: Keep Going. I kept working the short story little by little every day.
Okay, so here’s the thing: Did seeing 4999 magically change my life? No. But, it did give me a kick in the pants to actually do something. I think it’s more about the mindset. When you’re paying attention to these “signs,” you’re basically looking for ways to improve, to grow, to move forward. And that’s always a good thing.
After about a week of consciously working on finishing things, I finally finished and published my short story! I also donated a huge box and managed to find a way to upcycle the old T-shirts.
I’m still seeing 4999 occasionally, but now it feels less like a spooky coincidence and more like a friendly reminder to keep moving, keep finishing, and keep growing. And I got the new one.
