Okay, let’s talk about this 743 number thing.
It started popping up a while back, maybe last spring? I wasn’t looking for signs or anything, just living life, you know, busy with work, trying to keep the garden from dying. But then I started noticing 743. First, it was the time on the microwave when I went for a late snack – 7:43 PM. Didn’t think anything of it.
Then, a few days later, I’m getting gas, and the total comes out to $7.43. Weird coincidence, I thought. But it kept happening. A license plate in front of me on the highway. An order number for something I bought online. It wasn’t every single day, but often enough that I went from “huh” to “okay, what’s going on here?”

My Little Investigation
Now, I’m not usually one for spooky stuff, pretty down-to-earth usually. But this was persistent. So, one evening, instead of watching that show I like, I actually sat down and just thought about it. What was happening in my life right then?
- Thinking about starting a new hobby, something completely different.
- Feeling a bit stuck in my usual routine.
- Wondering if I was making the right choices with some family stuff.
I didn’t go deep into researching ‘angel numbers’ online, frankly, a lot of that stuff feels a bit much for me. But I did mull over the feeling I got when I saw 743. It wasn’t alarming or anything. It felt more like a little nod. Like a quiet “yep, keep going” or “trust your gut on this one.”
What I Did (My “Practice,” I Guess)
So, my practice wasn’t lighting candles or meditating for hours. It was simpler. I decided to take the number showing up as a reminder to pay attention to my own intuition, something I sometimes ignore when I get too busy.
Specifically, that hobby I was thinking about? The one I kept putting off because it felt a bit silly or unproductive? Seeing 743 so often felt like a green light. It coincided with me feeling like I needed something new. So, I actually did it. I signed up for the introductory class. Nothing dramatic, just took that small step I’d been hesitant about.
And you know what? It was great. Really enjoyed it. It didn’t magically solve all my problems, obviously, life isn’t like that. But breaking the routine and trusting that little nudge (which the 743 seemed to highlight) felt good. It felt right.

The outcome? Well, I stuck with the hobby for a while, met some nice people. The number 743 stopped appearing so frequently after that. Maybe its job was done? Who knows. For me, it was just a strange pattern during a specific time that nudged me to listen to myself a bit more. Wasn’t earth-shattering, just a helpful little push when I needed it. That’s my experience with it, plain and simple.
