Saturday, March 8th, 2014. I had a decent day at work however in talking with the account manager the conversation I had with my sales manager came up and I spilled the beans on the discomfort I had in that meeting over what he said to me so I’m not sure what I’ll be walking into on Monday. Truth be told, his words have left a bad taste in my mouth and I’m very uncomfortable working with him. I like to the company and it has a lot of potential however the sales manager’s attitude and actions are doing much harm to it and are likely sabotaging the success that the company can have under the right and/or proper leadership. As the account manager told me she is keeping her options open as should I.
I end my work day early on Fridays due to my early morning networking breakfast so I took the opportunity to get into the gym and get a workout in, my third in about three or four weeks. I struggled a little bit but completed my usual workout with no problem. Surprisingly, though, I lost four pounds over the past few weeks, likely all muscle. Actually, according to the scale it was about three pounds of fat so that’s good but I need to keep focused and dedicate time to going to the gym no matter what. And I probably should eat more, eat more but making healthy choices in my increased intake of food.
Oh, we tried a new restaurant here in New Westminster called the “Hub”. The location is great as it overlooks Columbia Street, the River Market, and the Fraser River however it is too noisy for our liking. The food is quite good, my partner had their "Lamb" burger and I the "Yaletown". I’d go back but likely a weekend afternoon as it’s likely a different crowd. It’s hard to enjoy the atmosphere and location when you cannot even hear or recognize your own thoughts.
Thank You Spirit.
Today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “8 of Swords: The Crowded Subway. Restriction. Being trapped by your own biases and prejudices. Feeling lonely in a crowd.”
Often times we do not realize that our own thoughts, biases, and prejudices hamper our freedom, direction, and goals in life. This is due to the fear of recognizing our faults and failings and taking responsibility for and being accountable to them. It’s not that we beat ourselves up over them but at least recognize and do our best to change and transcend them. More often than not we fear the choices we have to make in order to break free of the chains that bind us and those are often of our own doing. Sometimes choices take us out of comfort zones and are difficult ones to make because it means that we often have to realize and confront ourselves and our thoughts and actions as being the cause of our misery or failings.
Feeling trapped is often just an excuse to avoid making tough decisions. Perhaps, we need to take a risk and quit our jobs where and with no job prospects are on the horizon. Or we have to walk away from a relationship or partnership that no longer makes us happy or that was never right for us in the first place. Tough choices and decisions are hard to make and may lead to fear, anger, discontent however all these can be temporary with the right attitude and outlook. We have to remember that sometimes the easiest path is not always the right one to take. We need to find clarity of thought and often that is by making these tough choices. Clarity of thought allows us to deal with and make good decisions going ahead. We must be willing to grow and evolve.
Be willing to connect to the power of the Divine above and ground yourself with the power of the Earth below and move forward with confidence and a knowing that when we connect to these two great forces that are always a part of our lives our journey through life will be purposeful and well-lived. Keep the power of your own thoughts and identity by stepping away from the seduction of the world around us and you will never or at least not go wrong very often.
Thank you Spirit.
Blessed Be.
