Allow yourself to be loved by not being so critical of who and what you are. You are your own worst enemy and find ways to pull yourself down from the strides you’ve made. No one is perfect. And we all make mistakes. Don’t condemn yourself saying or doing something you shouldn’t have done. Instead, ask for forgiveness and change your actions to learn the lessons that will keep you from doing it again.

Additional Insight:

Swords represent Strength & Weakness, Struggle & Endurance, Animosity & Respect.

When you are overly critical of yourself, you’re allowing animosity to rule the day. It weakens your resolve to move forward with positive energy and change things in your life for the better.

Constant criticism of self impacts your perspective and hides the spiritual lessons you face as well. Whither they’re karmic or not, they are lessons you selected to review and learn in this lifetime. It’s much easier to see the lessons and understand what’s going on and why, when you can view yourself with compassion and respect.  That self love, allows you to see the paths in front of you and choose the one that overcomes the hurdles and makes your path forward a little easier.

Don’t tear yourself down for making a mistake. You’re only human. And no person on the face of this planet is perfect!  If you injured someone, then apologize and ask them for forgiveness. Try to explain why you acted or reacted the way you did, but not as a means to justify your actions. Rather try to discover the trigger that set you off and perhaps you can ask them to help you change your pattern of reaction for the future.

No said you had to go at this alone. No one said you can’t ask someone else for help. No one said you had to endure the struggle and fight every moment against your self and your own self interests. And the truth is, you’re not alone! No matter where you are in the world, there is someone who will be on your side and help you innovate, adapt and overcome the self punishments that keep you down. All you have to do is open your eyes and look for the hand that’s reaching out to you. Even if that hand is coming from within your own spirit.

~~~ Let me share a little story: Continue reading →

If you don’t take care of what you have harvested, someone else will come in and take it. Don’t be left with nothing in your pantry. A garden doesn’t grow when not tended to. Nor can it be sustained only by maintenance. The same plants will only provide so much fruit before they dry up. Don’t let fear hold you back from expanding your field and planting your seeds wisely.

Additional Insight:

Whither you’re venture is a project you’re interested in, or a business, don’t be afraid of its success. Everything needs to grow and your fear of getting bigger will not only stop the growth, it will eventually kill what you have already created.

Competitors will see your weakness and come in to take what you have built so far. Leaving you and yours with nothing. Not even the garden you have tended to for so long. Don’t become complacent and feel satisfied with what’s on the table. You will use it up and have nothing left to share with your family or friends.

Use the work of others as inspiration. They became successful because they believed in themselves and took the risks that allowed them to expand. Whither the expansion is financial, people, supplies or equipment, or all of these, it is needed to not only grow your project but to sustain it as well.

Trust in your abilities that you can handle what has already been put on your plate and more. Don’t let fear rule your lack of success. It’s time to grow and expand your dream. Many others are depending on you and it’s time for you to get out from the shadows and start allowing your dream to become what you have hoped it could be. Trust the advice of those who have been there already. They know how to make things work for you, instead of you working for “it”.

Believe in yourself, even if no one else does. But you must trust in yourself as well. Because no one else is going to follow you or stick with you if you don’t take the chance in yourself first. Stop worrying about what can go wrong, and get excited about what can go right! You might discover that what you really wanted all along is still ahead of you and you simply needed someone who cares for you, pushing you along.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Celebrate your victories. You worked hard for them and you deserve to enjoy the moment. Don’t let someone else’s disappointment overshadow your success. Their negativity has no place in your accomplishments. So choose who you spend your time with very carefully.

Additional Insight:

You don’t need to rub it in someone’s face or be smug about your win. But you have put a lot of effort into achieving success and you should be allowed to celebrate the little victories.

If someone else wants to be a wet noodle, that’s their problem. Don’t let their disappointment bring you down in the process. Their negativity has no place in your world right now. So consider who you celebrate with carefully and allow the energy of your accomplishment to carry you through the weekend.

When you build on your successes, you attract more of the same into your day, weekend, and your whole world. If you allow the negativity of others to drag you down, you waste all that wonderful uplifting success and allow it to fade away without capitalizing on its support.

You can’t save everyone from themselves. You can’t learn their lessons for them. And you can’t lift someone up who refuses to be happy in their little victories, even if it means they came in 2nd. Help them see how great they did and how their hard work paid off as well. They may not have won, but they accomplished a great deal and can still be happy in their achievement. They don’t have to be a sore loser simply because they didn’t get the top spot. It wasn’t theirs to simply walk away with and they can try again next time.

You don’t have to give up your trophy in order to make someone else happy. Ask them to celebrate their accomplishment with yours. But if they refuse, allow them to stomp away. Or you should make the choice to walk away and ride the positive energy to your next success. Sometimes in letting go and letting “God”, you have to actually let go of those who want to hold you back.

So party and celebrate today and through the weekend. But remember, it’s back to work on Monday. There’s still more to do and more to accomplish. One victory is a stepping stone for the next rung on the ladder. But that next step up will be much easier with each victory that lifts you up on the wings of success. Keep climbing and eventually you’ll be flying!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Share the gifts of spirit with those you care about. You don’t have to tell them the “name” of your beliefs, or what you believe to share the lessons you  have learned. But you might be able to explain what you’ve learned about yourself from looking within from the higher view of your soul.

Additional Insight:

Many people want to share what they’ve learned about life and overcoming their struggles to find peace. But they refrain from doing so because they believe their family, friends or co-workers will automatically label them as evil because their views may not be defined in the Christian Bible.

You don’t have to say “I’m pagan and we believe this or that”. You don’t have to say I follow a “Shamanistic path or a Metaphysical path and we look at life this way”. Don’t limit your lessons by a label someone else may not have ever heard of or understand.

You share your views on a variety of topics without giving it a label first, unless that topic is spiritual in nature. There we humans feel the need to say “I’m Pagan” or whatever the path you walk. And in doing so, we feel our perspectives are not heard, because the one we want to help gets caught up on the label we used. You don’t have to define your beliefs to share your spiritual perspective to help someone else see the lessons they are facing.

If you know someone who is struggling and might benefit from what you have learned, simply tell them about an article you read online once. It said, blah blah. Whither they believe what you say and take it to heart or not, it’s their choice. But I can guarantee you, what you tell them will seep into the back of their mind and stay there rattling around for a while. That’s simply the way our brains work. And who knows, maybe one day, they will allow that memory to stumble forward in their thoughts, and make an honest difference in their life for the better.

You can’t learn the lessons for the ones you love. But you can help them discover the tools that will help them view their lessons from a different perspective and perhaps, finally pass the tests that put those studies behind them. You’ll never know, until you try.

Listen to the waves of change and you’ll be able to ride the frequency that frees you from struggle.  Others are pulling your strings and trying to keep you from moving forward. Their fear of the future is a lesson they must over come. You can try to assist, but in the end, you can’t learn the lessons others have pulled into their life. It maybe hard to let them go, but you might have to do that, in order to change things for the better, for yourself.

Additional Insight:

Represent the essence of Enterprise & Inaction, Inspiration & Pessimism, Distinction & Disregard.

Simply put, listen to your inner voice and you’ll avoid struggle and hardship. You already know what needs to be done, yet you refuse to move forward and do it because of someone else?  Don’t let others hold you back from your own future. You can only help someone so much and you can’t save those who don’t want to be rescued. No matter how much you love them. 

If they refuse to learn their lessons and make changes in their pattern of behavior there’s not much you can do. You can’t force them to change. You can’t learn their lessons for them. And sometimes, your lesson is to learn to let go of what you don’t control and move on.

You’ve been working hard to free yourself from the inaction and pessimism of the past. You’re at the point of making great strides through a break through of understanding. You finally see how your thoughts and actions (or in-action) has created your current struggles. Now that you have acquired this knowledge, what are you going to do with it?

It’s time to start walking your talk to put your experience into action. If that means leaving those behind who refuse to change, grow and move forward, then let them go for your own sake. Give them a chance to come with you. But if they refuse, don’t give up and dig yourself into a rut. Listen to your gut feelings, reach for your next goal and go for it. It’s up to you to free yourself from the burdens of the past. So get to it and stop making excuses!

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

On the seventh day you can rest. For now, you must keep your attention to the grindstone and get things done for your world. There are people depending on you and there are a lot of little things that need your input to be completed. Stop wasting time searching for the exact or perfect answer. Perfection doesn’t exist. Simply start doing the task and the right solution for you in this situation, will emerge and help resolve the strain weighing you down.

Additional Insight:

You’re allowing all the little things to pile up and diminish your confidence. Stop letting the stress win over your practical thinking. You’re only wasting time looking for something you’re not going to find in the first place. Be innovative and use your imagination.

Just get your hands in the dirt and start digging. Do the task at hand and you’ll be able to resolve doubts, and uncertainty as you go. Rely on the skill and abilities you already have, they will serve you well in the situations of the day. Your experience and intuition will do the rest. If you will simply trust yourself!

You don’t have to worry about “coloring within the lines” either. You’ve set standards on yourself that no one can meet. Just do the best you can and everything will come out exactly as it needs to, for both those around you and for your financial requirements.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be careful what you put out to the world. Be true to yourself and guard how you wish to be known. Don’t wear your emotions on your sleeves. Leave a little mystery to be discovered. Intrigue comes from wondering what’s underneath something and taking time to discover what that may be. The journey often ends when the mystic has been revealed and there’s no more surprises. Always hold a little back, and the adventures will continue.

Additional Insight:

Classy is when a person has everything to flaunt, but chooses not to show it. Nor do they judge those who do. ~ unknown

Being an open book may sound like a good exercise, but it can leave you vulnerable. Others can see your weakness and take advantage of you. Some may see your kindness and think of you as weak and unreliable. Your enemies may see opportunity and try to destroy you. And those you care for may lose interest and long for intrigue and excitement.

“Always leave them begging for more” – Walt Disney
A book holds your interest as you first open its cover. Reading the story, meeting new people in your imagination as the words on the page come a live. As you come to the end and discover the conclusion of the story, you’re ready to close the book. Perhaps there will be a sequel, but it’s always questionable if the second story will be as good as the first.

Treat your life in the same manner and you will the interest of those around you. The excitement of new adventures, ideas, dreams and intrigue cannot be dismissed so easily as when someone let’s it all hang out there. Be cautious of the image you create today. Think long term and make sure you’re leaving a little to be discovered.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Trust your gut feelings and nurture your intuition. You already think you should be suspicious, so why do you keep doubting your instincts. Don’t give too much away. Be watchful and vigilant. You will overcome the confusion which will allow you to see the whole picture and make the best choice for you. This is not the weekend to throw caution to the wind!

Additional Insight:

If you already feel uneasy about something going on around you, then don’t dismiss your gut feeling. Something isn’t right. It may not be clear what it is for a few more weeks, or perhaps even a couple of months. But managing your expectations is a good idea until you know for sure what’s going on behind the scenes.

It can be hard to tell the difference between allowing fear to create negative talk in your head and your real gut feeling that something is wrong. That’s where a daily meditation comes into help. At the very least, even a single weekly meditation can help you strengthen the bridge between your conscious and higher conscious minds.

In a state of meditation, you can examine your gut feelings and figure out which are your own doubts and which are your real gut instincts about something that simply doesn’t seem right. But if you’ve had this feeling for a few days and it won’t go away, it’s probably not your fears talking. So be watchful. Hold back on your interest and emotions. Don’t let your feelings runaway with you and you’ll be able to limit the damage. There’s a reason this is happening right now, but without having a clear mind and vision, you’re going to have a hard time seeing what that reason is.

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Be a little goofy today. You’re letting the stress weighing you down too much and that’s not good for your body, mind or your spirit. Allow yourself to bring in some healing. Dance in the rain or go toss some snowballs around to let off some steam. Surround yourself with positive energy and let the fun run free.

Additional Insight:

Everything in life needs balance. Even paying attention and being focused on the negative actions around you, need to be balanced with positive exercises to re-energize you psyche.

It’s ok to be a little goofy and fun during the day. There’s a place and time for everything. A little laughter before a meeting can alter the flow of a stressful discussion. A bit of silliness afterward can put everyone at ease and allow them to focus on the task at hand, instead of what’s happening to their personal career or employment situation.

Holding in all that angst is part of the problem. The more anxiety, anger, fear or stress you hold within, only draws more of that same energy to you. Finding a way to release it and let it out is the best way to change out the negative and bring in the positive.

Whatever that thing is for you to let off steam and relax, plan some time for that today. Whither you sit down and have a cleansing cry, or punch a bag at the gym. Maybe you like writing, so pour your emotions into a letter to yourself. Remember to end the moment with a smile and self pep talk to bring you back to even keel. If you don’t do it, who else is going to do it for you?

Even if you’re at home, you can find something to make you smile and feel a little lighter. Talk to yourself out loud, heckle the tv program you’re watching, or watch a funny movie. You can even find some funny video’s on YouTube to change your attitude.

Here’s one of my favorite that I use for this very thing! We watch videos of Late Night CBS Talk Show Host Craig Ferguson. .

If you like laughing, here are some of my favorites: We start with “Geoff Makes Craig Cry” in a good way. My son loves “Craig Cracks Himself Up“. And then there’s “The Chuck Norris Apology“. And a million more.

We truly love Craig and Geoff. He’s gotten us through many tough times, down times and sad times. Nothing seems so bad after you’ve had a good laugh.
