From the Sheridan-Douglas Tarot, the Five of Batons; from the Pages of Shustah cards, Guardian Dog:
I'm convinced humans create most of their own obstacles. When trying to accomplish something or handle a situation, we usually always think our ideas are right and the best. Those we're working with likely think the same thing, and so we butt heads. But if we can step aside from the feeling that our self-worth is tied to having our concepts accepted, we might have a chance to really consider some other options. The Guardian Dog's message is to protect that which is important: What will work efficiently without causing harm and bring a beneficial result? As Jesuit priest Father Strickland wrote, "A man may do an immense deal of good, if he does not care who gets the credit for it."
