The Ten of Wands…

So, you have found yourself in murky waters, but have been a kind of warrior in how you deal with it all. You should feel like a warrior, but even a conquering hero can find themselves feeling a deep level of exhaustion. This week, you have your gaze pointed to the surface and you know it’s time to swim up to the top to finish this fight. The trouble is you are still carrying so many obligations and they are weighing you down, my friend. It’s time to prioritize your rise and release the burdens that you are holding onto. I know you feel committed, but some of the small details you have acquired will work themselves out once you have emerged. Think of it this way - you will be of no use to anyone if you sink. So, set your eyes on your final destination and begin to let go of those obligations which you simply cannot fulfill. Let the passionate fire within your spirit fuel your quick ascent to a better place.

“What kills us isn't one big thing, but thousands of tiny obligations we can't turn down for fear of disappointing others.”― Alain de Botton
