How Emily maps to numbers
1
Expression Number · the outward self
Self-confidence is what you seek, with the intention of developing personality and the creative self, not selfishly but rather to grow the inner self to become a leader, executive, administrator, or promoter. All the tools you need to be creative and original are found within this vibration. You have an extraordinary ability to solve problems and a natural inclination to initiate action. Be cautious, as every action triggers an equal and opposite reaction. Avoid being authoritarian, selfish, or aggressive in your desire to accomplish your goals. A true leader is determined and reliable because their mission is to demonstrate independence and leadership.
