One is the leader, that independent soul with many creative and innovative ideas. You tend to go first and inspire people to follow. When you are true to your authentic life purpose, then you can have a powerful influence on others and the world. Some careers of the 1 destiny number (or life purpose) are the business owner, the inventor, politician and entrepreneur.

What are the Challenges of the 1 Destiny Number?
The challenges of the one are stubbornness, perfectionism and lack of flexibility. You can be an inspiration to others with your brilliant ideas, but the true lesson of the 1 destiny number is to ignite the spark that inspires others to find their own way.
Are you shaking your head no? You feel you do not have leadership qualities? Ah, perhaps you have yet to actualize your true life purpose. Oftentimes we find ourselves in opposition to our destiny. So developing the confidence that you are enough may be your lesson. Embrace your inspirational birthright with humility and the desire to help others and you will be enriched.
Successful Leaders With the Life Purpose of One
Two powerful and charismatic leaders with a 1 destiny number had very different visions, both influencing the world profoundly. Martin Luther King, Jr., activist and leader of the African-American Civil Rights movement was born 1/15/1929 (1+1+5+1+9+2+9= 28/2+8 = 1). Entrepreneur and inventor, Steve Jobs was born 2/24/1955 (2+2+4+1+9+5+5 = 28/2+8 = 1). He is recognized as the pioneer of the personal computer and digital revolution (from computer to ipod and beyond).

Kennon says
Hey there 🙂
Yeah I’m destiny #1! It’s spot on for me. But I’m wondering if my date of birth and time of birth both being the same has any significance? If so what does it mean? I love details.🤭 My intuition says yes but I don’t know anything more than that. My D.O.B. Is 08/09/1991 and birth time 8:09pm. Cool huh?
Thanks so much!
Greer says
Hi Kennon, Unfortunately, I am not a astrologer, you would have to ask one. But I know that a lot of numerology and astrology is comparable.
Claire says
This is the complete opposite of me. I’m definitely not a leader, but thank you for providing the service
Greer says
Dear Claire, Sometimes it seems like you are not your destiny.. Perhaps you are in the lesson of it. You can start opening up to feeling confident and inspiring one person in your life.. then it might get easier to achieve. Cause if you have a 1 destiny, you will be fulfilled when you set out with new visions for the world. Many blessings, Greer
Jenny says
Me? Leader?
Yeah, no. I don’t get why my horoscope (Scorpio in Europe and Snake in China) and my ‘soul’ nuumber is 1.
How can antisocial, anxious, and lonely me be a leader when I hate talking to people or go out? So nope, this isn’t my destiny.
Greer says
Perhaps it is like the song.. one is the loneliest number. Sometimes ones can be in the shadow.. afraid to step out. Ones aren’t necessarily sociable, they are in front which allows others to be in back of them. It can be very lonely. Ones are leaders of ideas, they are inspirers. Look at Steve Jobs. He was brilliant and a pioneer, but isolated everyone. Jenny, if you can find a few people in your life you feel connected with, it would nurture your soul. And if you found something in your life that you feel passion about. You could sore with your creativity.. perhaps an invention of sorts? Anything come to mind?
Jenny says
Mhm.. I have fwe close friends. They have been with me since childhood, they have helped me a lot.
My other numbers just made me more confused. They don’t really sound like me at all.
My name number is 5, and so is my inner dream number.My “Soul Urge” number is 9.
They are somewhat connected to this number 1, but I don’t really know.
Preet says

Jasmine says
Hi Greer!
I have some questions: if a 1 sets a goal based mainly on pride, is it possible it’ll fail or be highly unsatisfying? And if a 1 tries to just do things because it’s responsible (but nothing too inspiring), will a 1 be okay with that?
My destiny number is 1, and, even though it’s a lot of pressure and I have no clue why, people always associated me with leadership and high-achievement. This put a lot of pressure on me but I always felt up to the challenge. When I was 17, I used to be really set on this ideal that I had and felt I could achieve fantastical innovations. For years, I was so gung-ho about it, but then I didn’t know how to progress and felt really insecure… the dream had holes in it too. 8 years later, I kind of came to a halt and felt like I had to give it up (even though it’ll be in the back of my mind).
I think I have a lot of the negative qualities of destiny number 1s, because I’m so stubborn, prideful and hate accepting help. I really dread the idea of having to show humility, too… I feel like I’m saying I’m not as great as others made me out to be, and it’s pretty much unbearable for me to be disappointing.
I wanted this other career path that sounds extremely hard but good for my ego, but I don’t resonate as strongly as I did with my younger self. I don’t feel that sense of wonder and vivre, but do I need to to be successful?
Greer says
Hi Jasmine, a one destiny is the leader and inspirer.. ala Steve Jobs and Lady Gaga. No matter what your destiny is, you need to connect to what you really want to do and have integrity doing it. It sounds like you are a natural leader. But you need to be truly inspired to enjoy what you do. I would be happy to connect further and help you see your strengths and challenges through your name and birthday in a reading. Here is a link. http://numerology4yoursoul.com/product/numerology-readings/ Many blessings for 2017.. the year of new beginnings.
Avi says
Hi greer,
Whatever you said about 1s, I realize its true. I am a 1 destiny guy. I am doing an accounting job, but I have little interest. I always wanted to be a business tycoon. In my current stage of my life I am very confused about what should I do with my life.
Do you have any valuable suggestions for me? How can I find out what I love).
Greer says
Dear Avi, I see your dilemma. Being a 1 destiny, you will want to be a leader, your own boss and of course do what you love so you can inspire yourself and others. Your question is not a simple one to answer. When I do readings for people, I look at their birthday and birth names and we can look at what your strengths, passions and lessons are. Of course this reading is not a definite answer to what you should do, but we could work together to find a direction on what is next. I have 90 minute readings which would incorporate much, including an intention exercise. Also available are quick mini readings by email and skype which could focus on your inspiration number and more about your destiny. You can find links to these offerings on this page. Many blessings! Greer
Eric says
Hi, i’ve been looking everywhere into the reason behind destiny 1 people being exceptional and the best (not second best) at what they do. and I haven’t found the answer(no, not uniquness, original or such) eg. Steve Jobs, Lionel Messi, Shaq Oneal, Lebron James, Eminem.. just to name a few, I mean these guys are considered “GODLY” in their field.
Keep in mind, people with other destiny numbers regardless of achievement can not outperform these destiny 1 people. It seems to be the extraordinary gifts stemming from the “0” (inner gifts) inherent to the destiny 1 people (10/1) or perhaps the “1” (creativity).
Greer says
Thanks Eric, very astute. However, where I differ in my opinion is that “Ones” are not the most powerful or most exceptional. Everyone is the vehicle to our own destiny. If you have a one, you are leadership prone, but if you do nothing with it, you may tend to feel the shadow… feeling alone, resentful, controlling, or that you can’t get anywhere unless you do everything yourself. The lessons of 1 is clear… allow others in! Do not do everything yourself. Inspire, but not to control and be the know it all. The most successful 1s are like Steve Jobs and Maya Angelou. Their vision and passion is the most important. When they lead from this place, they can succeed.
But this is true of all destinies.. Beyonce has a 3 destiny, 9/4/1981. She is dynamic in her creative expression. Her voice shouts from the rooftop and inspires others. There is no “One most GODLY..” I guess in their thoughts of themselves (ha.. Steve Jobs, Eminem, etc.)
BASKARN says
Thank you so much very informative this article. My destiny number is 1. I want to do business for advertising ads through online using website. So i want to create new website for my business. So please help me to find how many letters to choose for the website.
Greer says
Hello Baskarn, Thanks for your interest. I can help you with an extensive business name reading. Here is my link. I would say that advertising would do well with a 5 and an 8.. but there is so much more to this!!! Let me know if I can help in any way. Having a 1 destiny is powerful as you are a leader and innovator and pioneer ala Steve Jobs:) Here is the link to my reading. http://numerology4yoursoul.com/product/find-a-creative-business-name/
Koushik says
Good information
Greer says
Thank you. Much success in all your ventures. With a one destiny, you can accomplish much! Greer
Peter says
hi greer,
My destiny number is 1; i’m a guitarist. i’m looking for a perfect name of my musical team/band
Greer says
HI Peter, ah with a one destiny, you are a born leader and I am sure already have a following. I LOVE helping people find their band name. However it is very involved. I work with you on your mission, your audience and how you want to be seen in the world. The variation of names may depend on all of you so I would want you all to be involved. When I do a reading, I will create several charts with a variety of names and brainstorming. Finally we would Skype the one hour session. All will be taped, and if you are still not satisfied, we do more brainstorming. Here is the link to the reading. Hope to work with you. And have fun! http://numerology4yoursoul.com/product/find-a-creative-business-name/
Cynthia says
How about Destiny One?
Greer says
Love that Cynthia:)
Bruce says
So does that mean I should keep number as 1 for my business name??
Greer says
Not necessarily. Having your destiny and expression number of your business be the same, is many times favorable, but when I do a business name analysis I look at more about you and your business.. What are you values, who is your audience, what is your goal for your business, what type of business is it? You may have a 1 destiny, which could help you be an entrepreneur in your business, a leader with great ideas. You can be a leader in any business. Based on the type of business we could look at what will compliment your independence with a successful business name. Example: a 1 destiny person would do well with a 5 expression number of a Social Media company as the one helps them lead the way and the 5 expresses an energy of engaging with people and having fun. Hope this helps, let me know if you would like to work further with me on finding a perfect business name. Many blessings, Greer
