It can happen, during a person's pursuit of answers to life and personal problems, that numbers are focused on as a potential for providing answers or validation of a certain assumption or belief.

And, yes, numbers can provide answers. Generally, however, they'll provide pointers, like suggestions, or reveal tendencies or likelihoods. It's still up to the person to determine what, if anything, calculated answers mean to their personal life.

A person may also get so involved with numbers that it seems like they must hold the very answers the person is looking for.

If the focused involvement continues long enough, the person may start searching for certain specific numbers or sets of numbers that are thought to contain the types of answers being looked for.

Because there are so many numbers in a person's environment, any desired result can be obtained by picking and choosing which numbers to use in the calculations — especially when numbers from the past are also included in the selection. Virtually any single-digit and master number can be calculated that way.

Just because the number can be calculated doesn't mean the number has any personal or unique meaning for the person beyond the energy it represents for everyone.

The numbers you're focusing on may contain a clue. Not because you're able to find them in calculations, but because you're focusing on them. It may be prudent to understand the meaning of the numbers to help in your quest to make sense of the world.
