A birdie told me that this September is special. Each and every one of us will get an opportunity that we might think of passing up. Don't do that! Any opportunity you get this month will enable you to grow as a person. Thank you for listening.
Well, hello birdbrain.

It's the same bird that's hired by psychics, people who purvey horoscopes, palm readers, etc. It's true of everyone in every month, on every day. The world is constantly inviting you to enjoy a greater life. Trouble is most people can't separate the wheat from the chaff.

Perseverance in the face of failure is also an important factor. If the time isn't right for good things to happen, you will burn yourself out trying to make things happen. When I was in my 20s, I tried to animate the Towers of Hanoi problem in C just to see if I could do it. The coding itself took only a few days but there was some bug in the code that prevented the animation from working correctly. I spent days trying to figure it out and running the damn thing through the debugger. Almost a month later, the solution just popped into my head. I actually saw the bit of code in my mind that needed to be altered. Few minutes later, the animation was working flawlessly.

There are certain days in a month when you are bound to achieve success. On other days, all you can do is relax and meditate to build up positive energy. If you try to accomplish something on such days, you will just find yourself banging your head against an invisible, unfathomable wall.
This is largely BS. There's no such thing as a bad day that isn't due to some physical challenge, either sickness, infirmity or a situation that overwhelms you (witness Ida, the wildfires, Taliban, eviction).

You could try maintaining a daily log for a few months if you want to test this empirically. I'm No.9 and I've noticed that 1, 3, 6, 7 and 9 days are good for me. 2, 4, 5 and 8 are the ones where I tend to face issues. For example, the 15th of a month is a 6 day because 1+5=6.

What if I use the Julian calendar?

No thanks.

The only number that matters to me is the number 5 and only for music.
 
Beethoven's 5th Symphony was the start of my amateur music nerd-dom.
His Fifth Piano Concerto is my favorite of his piano concertos.
Track 5 of Mariah Carey's album is "Always Be My Baby".
"You're Nothing Without Me" is track 5 from "Live Your Life Be Free".


Just making sure ... you realize "OP" = original poster? 😉

I'd watch it with that numerology stuff were I you (I have no such problem).
