I use tarot and oracle cards as tools for reflection and contemplation. Rather than divining the future, they are a way for me to look more deeply at the "now."

A Job Enjoyed

From the Russian Lubok Tarot, the Eight of Pentacles; from the Marseille Oracle, Events:

Never continue in a job you don't enjoy. If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined. - Johnny Carson

We don't necessarily have to be great at doing what we love, but if we enjoy our work, we will continue to practice our skills with diligence. As the saying goes, practice makes progress. And part of success is when people appreciate the services or products because they see our joy and satisfaction in doing them. The cup in the oracle card represents Events, or milestones in our lives. There is an achievement that has nothing to do with age or anniversaries. It is when we have the confidence to proclaim the title of what we do, whether it is a baker, artist, or some other occupation. With the tarot card, it suggests the words of Arthur Ashe: "An important key to self-confidence is preparation."
