5 of Wands and Rising Up to the Challenge

Monday, June 30th, 2014.  The year is half over, a half a year yet to come.  2014 is moving along at a rather quick pace, it would seem.  I’ve enjoyed much of the year really, for the most part that is as I feel like I’ve grown and matured quite a bit over the past six months.  I feel stronger, more grounded, more alive, and more in control of my life.  I’m much more active and actually living my life more than I have been in previous years and it feels good.

Thank You Spirit.

I awoke far too early this morning and really wanted nothing more than to stay in bed and sleep in whatever fashion or form sleep would take me but alas it is a work day.  But the motivation to get out of bed is that tomorrow is Canada Day and another day off from work.  A day off I feel I am in need of as this past weekend just didn’t feel like enough of a break from the work week cycle.

Thank You Spirit.

Spirit Is and today’s visiting Tarot Card is the “5 of Wands: The Hockey Game.  The project meets resistance.  Testing one’s ideas against others.  An enjoyable struggle.  Competition in the marketplace.”

I see this card and think, what is the “5 of Wands” all about today and nothing struck me or stood out regarding this visit from this card.  I did acknowledge that my business concept is an idea that will take me into a marketplace full of competitors but this I do not find daunting at all but rather the nature of the business environment.  Then as I had lunch and thought more about the “5 of Wands” visions of how I can make myself stand out from the crowd filled my mind.  Ideas I definitely plan to implement.

I’m still also coming to terms with the idea of being self-employed in such a business and battling a few lingering doubts about being able to pull it off but I know I’ll do just fine.  I am doing just fine.

So the “5 of Wands” is asking us to rise to the challenge and test ourselves and our ideas against others to see if we indeed have what it takes to take the leap and succeed in life along whatever path we choose for ourselves.  Rise up and make your mark, make your presence known and felt by those who did the same themselves.

Thank You Spirit.

Blessed Be.
