Nothing Lacking

From the Urban Tarot, the Three of Disks; from the Principles to Live By, Contentment:

When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.

—Lao Tzu

The Three of Disks illustrates a concentrated effort enforced with determination and tenacity. We lean into what seems immovable, and slowly progress is made. It's not that things are finished, but our vision can be seen in the shape of what materializes. Such a project often requires a cooperative undertaking, like the construction of this building. The Contentment tile might seem as if to suggest that we don't need to be ambitious, but that would be a description of complacency. The root of the word contentment comes from the Latin contentus, which means “held together” or “whole.” This principle actually helps us be more discerning about what gives our life meaning, so that we can focus on what is important to us.
