Vacillation

This week I'll be using the Spirit Within Tarot, created by Steven Bright and published by Schiffer. I'll also be drawing from the Answer Deck, created by Nicky Zann and published by Running Press. Today's draws are the Two of Swords and Journey:

There is not a more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision. 

—William James

The blindfold on this young man as well as the Journey card suggests that he'll have to travel an inner path to get out of his current place of stagnation. It's tempting to go around asking others for their opinions, but that would likely leave him entangled in a thicket of views. A mindfulness meditation might help calm himself before looking at the facts. He could ask himself if one choice is meant to people-please, which will never satisfy him or anyone else. He might learn the difference between being led by his emotions (which can make him believe things that aren't true) and trusting his intuition (a visceral feeling without the thoughts attached). He could stop focusing on past failures and projecting them onto the future, instead viewing the present opportunities realistically. And lastly, he might ask himself what would give him meaning and fulfillment in his life. Yeah, it's never that simple, but it's a place to start.

With awareness come responsibility and choice. —Amanda Lindhout
