The numbers in the letters
Ambitious, authoritative, and successful. Number 8 represents power, material success, and achievement. You have a natural ability to manifest abundance and lead with authority.
1 + 7 → 8
What the vowels want: to go first. Not applause — authorship. The quiet dread underneath is being ordinary, and it has moved you more than ambition ever has.
1 + 0 → 1
What the consonants project: reserve with a current under it. People are sure you are evaluating them — you are — and mistake the attention for distance.
