If you remember my very first blog post, I mentioned my interest in numerology and discussed the meaning behind the number 2020. 2020 represents introspection. It symbolizes internal peace and harmony, especially in the face of conflict. This year has surely had its challenges, especially within the past couple of months. But sticking true to its meaning, so far this year and this time of isolation has allowed ourselves an abundance of self-reflection. We have been given an opportunity to come out of this with newfound gratitude for life.
I have recently looked toward another number for a sense of rationalization during such uncertain days, my personal favorite number, 17. Once again, the number’s meaning was reflective of the state of our world today. The number 17 symbolizes spiritual consciousness and wishes of peace and love for humanity. 17 is said to represent encouragement during major life-changing and routine-altering events.
Our daily routines have in fact been altered as we are unable to have typical large group gatherings while social distancing. Human interaction as we know it has had to be temporarily changed for our own safety during this pandemic. Change is necessary for our personal growth. We must utilize this period of self-reflection to find peace through overcoming these challenges. We must see these trials and tribulations as a chance to prevail and flourish. This time has allowed the world to come together with compassion for our neighbors. My hope is that we come out of this social distance with healthy bodies and clearer minds.
Seemingly by pure coincidence, this happens to be my seventeenth blog post. I’m taking that as a sign, that together we will be resilient through adversity. So if you ever find yourself overwhelmed and dismayed by life’s hurdles, remember this post and remember my lucky number 17.
