Your bithday next year might be your last, or so they say. You should be slightly concerned.

I don't think we quite have forty-one yet, and anyway a few spares would be a good idea, since I think a couple of these overlap. In other words, keep posting, everyone!

The word mortal is used 41 times in the Bible. Should you be concerned?

According to R. Allendy, "it is the principle of the individuality, 1, appearing in cosmic mutations, 40. It is the individuality of the being incarnated in the physical life (...). It is the reverse of 14, it shows the principle of the periodic mutations in the cosmic individuality. In the 14, the cycle is in the individual; in 41, the individual is in the cycle". Whatever that means is up for debate. You should be very concerned.
