Okay, so the other day I kept seeing the number 498 everywhere. Like, I’d glance at the clock and it’d be 4:98 PM (which isn’t even a real time, my brain just saw it that way!), I’d see it on license plates, order numbers, everywhere! It was kinda freaking me out, so I decided to do something about it.

My Little 498 Investigation
First, I grabbed my phone and Googled “498 angel number” to see if there was any meaning behind it. Honestly, I was half-expecting some spooky stuff, but it was surprisingly… positive?
I skimmed through a few websites. Some of it was a bit too “woo-woo” for me, talking about spirit guides and whatnot, but the general message seemed to be about positive change, abundance, and trusting that things are working out for the best. Okay, I can dig that.
Then I decided to do a little journaling exercise. I’ve been feeling a bit stuck lately, like I’m not really moving forward in my career or personal life. So, I grabbed my notebook and started writing down everything that came to mind when I thought about the number 498 and the idea of “positive change.”
- I wrote about my fears.
- I wrote about my dreams.
- I wrote about the small steps I could take to get closer to those dreams.
It was actually pretty cathartic! Getting it all out on paper made me feel a lot lighter.
Next, I decided to take some action. I picked one small thing from my list – reaching out to an old colleague for a virtual coffee chat – and did it. It felt good to be proactive!
The Result?
Well, I’m not suddenly a millionaire or anything, but I do feel a shift in my mindset. Seeing 498 now feels like a little nudge, a reminder to stay positive and keep moving forward. Maybe it’s all in my head, but hey, whatever works, right? It reminded me to stay focused. I’ve stopped worrying so much about the “big picture” and I am now focusing more on the small, daily steps I can take to improve my life.
I plan to continue this. And I’ll keep you all updated on how it goes. It’s a journey!
