Emotions and Opportunity

Deck is the Crow Tarot by MJ Cullinane

Lately, I’ve been feeling challenged by some people where my business and abilities are concerned and let me tell you, it doesn’t feel particularly good when the things I’m doing get questioned by people outside of my trusted circle. Frankly, it hurts knowing that not everyone has my back. But then again, I know I really shouldn’t expect that. I know I have personal things on my side that will help me get through the challenging times. Lets see what those things are.

The cards

from the Crow Tarot by MJ Cullinane

The Chariot: determination, willpower, drive, success

Strength: inner strength, passion, virility, confidence

7 of Wands: this asks that you remain confident and courageous when facing challenges. It won’t be easy at the top and you will have your detractors, but you’ve worked hard to climb the mountain. You’ve earned the right to be where you are.

These past few weeks have brought on a number of challenges that have tested my determination, willpower and drive to succeed. I’ve been feeling a lot of challenges here in that there have been people who would look at my work and try to put me down for it. But there are a few things I need to remember when I’m feeling out of sorts with the things going on around me. One is that I’m stronger than I give myself credit for. I have the confidence and passion to bring forward the life I want to see come to pass for myself. The people that don’t want to see and acknowledge this have the kind of energies I can afford to keep away from me because they won’t serve me down the line. Well, except for maybe making me understand what I need to hold onto in terms of making my dreams happen. Two, I need to understand that I’ve worked really hard to get to where I am in terms of my physical and spiritual journey. I may find it lonely where I am but I’ve earned the right to feel proud about what I feel and do what I’ve done. I’ve gained skills that my naysayers likely don’t have themselves and it’s okay that they don’t. We’re on different paths after all. Am I done on my journey? No. Can I do things to help people along their path? Yes, and the good thing is I have the practical and emotional skills to do just that.
