Alright, so yesterday I was totally zoning out, just scrolling through TikTok (don’t judge!), and I kept seeing stuff about “694 angel number.” I’m usually pretty skeptical about this kinda stuff, but the universe has been throwing some curveballs lately, so I figured, why not look into it? Plus, I’ve been feeling stuck in a rut, so any kinda sign, good or bad, felt like a push in some direction.
First thing I did was Google it, obviously. Read a bunch of fluff about positive changes, financial abundance, and following your life purpose. Typical angel number stuff, right? But something about the “life purpose” thing stuck with me. I’ve been putting off some personal projects for ages, telling myself I’m too busy, too tired, whatever. So, I decided to take it as a kick in the pants to actually do something.
Step one: figure out what that “something” is. I grabbed a notebook and started brainstorming. What do I actually want to do? Not what I think I should be doing, but what genuinely excites me? It took a while, and there were a lot of half-formed ideas, but I landed on two things: learning to play the guitar I bought ages ago and writing a short story I’ve been plotting in my head for like, a year.
Next, I broke those down into smaller, more manageable steps. “Learn guitar” became “practice chords for 15 minutes every day.” “Write short story” became “write 500 words every day.” I know myself, and if I try to do too much at once, I’ll just get overwhelmed and quit.
So, yesterday, I started. I wrestled with my guitar for 15 minutes. My fingers hurt, and it sounded terrible, but I did it. Then, I sat down and forced myself to write 500 words. They were awful, clunky, and made no sense, but I wrote them. The key was not judging myself, just getting something, anything, down on paper.
Today? I did it again. Another 15 minutes of guitar torture (for me and anyone within earshot) and another 500 words of terrible prose. It’s not about being good, it’s about showing up. That’s the whole point I told myself.
Am I suddenly a guitar virtuoso or the next Hemingway? Nope. But I did something. And honestly, that’s the best part. It’s just started but hopefully something good comes out of it. Maybe that’s the “694 angel number” thing in action, maybe it’s just me finally getting my act together. Either way, I am going to keep doing it.
I even made a little checklist to track my progress. Nothing fancy, just a simple thing to remind me and keep me motivated:
- Guitar Practice: 15 minutes
- Short Story: 500 words
Gonna try to keep it going for a week and see where it leads. I’ll keep you guys posted.
Update After One Week
Okay, so it’s been a week since I started this whole “694 angel number” experiment. Here’s the rundown:
Guitar: Still sounds like a dying cat. My fingers are developing calluses, though, so that’s progress, right? I’ve been using some free online lessons to learn basic chords. I still suck, but I suck a little less than I did a week ago.
Short Story: I have about 3500 words of absolute garbage. The plot is meandering, the characters are flat, and the dialogue is cringeworthy. But… it’s something. I actually had a few moments where I got into the flow and genuinely enjoyed writing. That’s a win in my book.
Overall: I haven’t missed a single day. That’s huge for me. Usually, I’d have given up by now. But something about this whole thing has kept me going. I think it’s the small, achievable goals. 15 minutes of guitar, 500 words… it doesn’t feel overwhelming. It feels doable.
Honestly, I’m still not sure if I believe in angel numbers or any of that stuff. But I do believe in taking action. And for me, the “694 angel number” was just the little push I needed to finally start doing something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time.
I will keep going. Who knows, maybe a whole new me is about to come out!
