King of Cups…

Emotional mastery is not about controlling or judging the ebb and flow of your feelings. It is about understanding the sacred roots from which they arise within your soul, and discovering the most enchanting ways to honor them when they appear. True emotional wisdom is far more than simply pushing feelings aside to survive. For sometimes, mere survival is not living. Your emotions are the vibrant brushstrokes that paint the masterpiece of who you are. Do not simply exist—claim the beauty of every hue that stirs you: joy, fear, sorrow, delight, passion, fire, fervor, love, despair, hope... Each of these are powerful forces that fuel your inner strength. Feeling is a dance woven with magic. Do not cast it away—surrender to it, and you will learn to move in harmony with its rhythm.

“Genius is the ability to renew one's emotions in daily experience.” - Paul Cezanne
