Now or Later

From the Tarot of the Master, the Six of Swords; from the Paracelsus Oracle, Amissio:

This deck's Six of Swords card has been given the keyword 'courage.' Small acts of courage occur daily on an individual level: when we make that doctor's appointment, when we say 'no' when expected to acquiesce, when we choose to leave a relationship that has become detrimental to our well-being. These are all small victories, though personal rather than public. Amissio ('loss') indicates why it is so hard to make these kind of choices - there's usually more stuff to deal with in the aftermath. Yet what we choose to do now will determine how our future unfolds. We can deal with the little things now or deal with the monstrosity they grow into later.
