Life Path Number 4

The Worker

The life of a Life Path 4 is one of work and discipline to feel stable. You do not like taking short-cuts and often feel that the best way to do anything is through dedications and perseverance. You can see through “Get Rich Quick” schemes and consider them to be a waste of time, you see that time as being better spent working towards the solid goal.

You like challenge, and may consider everything a challenge, sometimes to a fault. This can lead to discussions, and even arguments, about what is the best way to do something.

You’re very headstrong and will insist on “not taking a shortcut”. You may feel that spending hours and days to find the “best way” to do something will pay off greatly in the long run.

You need stability to feel comfortable. The world often finds 4’s in a position of manager and business leader because of their desire to lead people to a defined goal. A career that deals with finite items, patterns, and structure (finance, accounting, engineering, etc.) are best suited to the Life Path 4 because the careers require an attention to detail.

Examples of Life Path 4’s include: Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Frank Sinatra, (see extended list here)

The daily rituals of a 4 are often well defined, but may sometimes lead to feelings of being stuck in a rut.

Learn To Be More Flexible

If you are a 4, learn to be more flexible, even if it is just on the weekends. Your tendency to be rigid in your thinking can serve you well, but can lead to health problems if you don’t relax sometimes. Don’t worry about the work, you are probably already on track to get that project done on time, if not ahead of schedule.

If you know a 4, you may need to coax them into doing something outside of their ordinary routine so they don’t fall towards boredom or even depression.
