Energy Use

From the Buckland Romani Tarot, the Eight of Koros (Cups); from the Lakota Sweat Lodge Cards, Thunderbeings:

The phrase “better the devil you know” may sound like common sense, but should the fear of the unknown keep us from moving on and actually finding out for ourselves? We all have had relationships with people or groups who have an unhealthy effect on us, but having history with them can create a strong pull to keep us in a rut. Thunderbeings represent the powerful force of electricity in nature. Their message asks us how we are using our own energy and agency. As Randy Pausch wrote: “Complaining does not work as a strategy. We all have finite time and energy. Any time we spend whining is unlikely to help us achieve our goals. And it won't make us happier.”
