Modesty


quietly confident

When bad things happen or are about to happen and I have the vision of impending doom. I develop an irresistible urge to complain and let all and sundry know about my woes. I bemoan my victimhood to anyone who will listen. I guess I do this to garner sympathy and divide and conquer against the perceived enemy. This is in no way helpful but serves only to disrupt my world further. I sensed my thoughts going in this direction as I sought to access those forces, I am striving to trust, that operate in the waiting and inactivity. The question I posed was; how to weather this extremely uncomfortable and anxiety building time? Although the card mainly addresses not lauding one's gifts and talents over others and moving through life with a healthy dose of self-respect, I saw it applied to how we are preoccupied with the unpleasant things of life. Trying to one-up each other on who has it more difficult. We debate all sorts of things with one another and miss the truly wonderful gifts that life offers up each day. This is not to say that bad things should not be considered or spoken about but that we may tip the balance in favour of what is good. I know that what ever I am looking for I will find. If I set my radar toward the good things that happen in the day, I will smile more and shed more joy among those I meet. Conversely, if I am wearing my negativity glasses, I attract all that is bad and it seems to be magnified around me, closing me in to a room of darkness. This gives credence to the old adage, "seek and you shall find". So I am interpreting the appearance of this card as an instruction to be content with myself as I am, there being no need to share my tales of woe city wide, because who knows how it will pan out and change for the good... perhaps overnight.
