Draw of the day: reaching my goals
Mar. 4th, 2018 02:13 pmI'm doing Wyntercraft's 30-Day Tarot Challenge, (still) with the Tarot of Vanessa Ives.
It's Day 4, so the draw question is "How can I reach my goals?" I drew the Queen of Wands, water of fire, a career woman with balanced career an family interests--thus continuing our theme of balance, balance, balance. In reading these I've been focusing largely on balancing all my interests outside work, but I suppose there's more to work-life balance than "don't put in too many hours at work," which I certainly do not. There's also the balance of not spending 40 hours a week treading water/slacking/being bored, which I'm doing less well at. This "career woman" card seems like a not-too-subtle hint that I also can and should be furthering my goals and improving my life by stepping it up at work and looking for ways to advance my career within my actual job--or get a new one--and not just try and pile on all sorts of skill-building and new interests outside of/around my day job. There's certainly enough interesting stuff to be done within the gaming industry! This Queen is full of energy, independence of thought, and generosity; all things I could probably stand to step up. (Energy probably has to come first before doing any of the rest of it.) Stiefvater reports that this Queen can be stubborn but that she knows what she wants: the world. This is... certainly aspirational for me. I do want the world! Perhaps I should consider learning to be stubborn, rather than merely recalcitrant.
Join us again tomorrow as we see if I'm actually getting anything done at work!
