Namaste My Fellow Spiritual Beings,
"II The High Priestess: Trust your intuition more than your reason; act more on feelings than on facts. Take your time to think about your options. Tackle difficulties with enthusiasm—these are opportunities to learn. To be a winner now, don’t withdraw. When reversed: You’re expecting things to come too easily. Be careful not to give up right away when they don’t. You’re feeling a desire to escape, to withdraw into yourself. Shrug off your current lack of focus and work diligently to achieve your goals."
"II The High Priestess" is doing her best to let us know that "To be a winner (now)", we can't "withdraw." The best way to do this is to "Tackle difficulties with enthusiasm—these are opportunities to learn." Enthusiasm tends to quell or subdue the anxious feelings we get when faced with difficulties. It also opens our minds to creative ideas and solutions on how to overcome and work through such difficulties and do so with hope and optimism. Most times our biggest obstacle is ourselves so get up, dust yourself off and forge ahead.
Maybe the best way to tackle something is to find ways to break the obstacle or difficulty down into more manageable pieces and tackle each piece separately until we've worked our way through them all suddenly realising that it was not so difficult after all and getting to this point was a journey worth taking and the prize at the end all the more valuable and well worth the wait.
Grace and Peace to You,
Edith
