Okay, so I’ve been pulling cards for advice lately, just to see what the universe wants to tell me. And today, bam, Seven of Cups. I was like, “Alright, Tarot, whatcha got for me?”
First, I grabbed my favorite deck – you know, the one that just feels right in your hands? I shuffled it a few times, really trying to focus on what kind of advice I needed. Like, general life stuff, you know? Not about anything specific.
Then I laid out the cards. Usually I do a three-card spread, but today I just felt like pulling one. And there it was: Seven of Cups. I stared at it for a minute. All those cups, floating in the clouds, each with something different inside. It felt… overwhelming, honestly.
So, I grabbed my trusty notebook – the one I use for all my Tarot musings. I jotted down some initial thoughts. Stuff like: “Choices, choices…,” “Illusions?” and “What’s real, what’s not?” Just stream of consciousness, really.
Then, I started thinking about my day. What decisions did I have to make? Was I being realistic about things? I realized I’d been daydreaming a lot about starting my own business, but hadn’t actually done, like, anything concrete. Seven of Cups, right there!
Here’s the breakdown of what I did after realizing that:
My Seven of Cups Action Plan
- Faced the music: I admitted to myself that I was getting lost in the fantasy and avoiding the hard work.
- Made a list: I wrote down all the different business ideas swirling in my head. All of them. Even the silly ones.
- Picked one: After looking at the list, I chose the idea that seemed the most doable right now. Not the most glamorous, but the most realistic.
- Broke it down: I took that one idea and started listing the actual, tiny steps I needed to take. Like, “research competitors” instead of “become a millionaire.”
- Took a tiny, baby step: Found out the most tiny, baby step I needed to take, and then started to do it.
It’s not magic, and I’m not suddenly a successful entrepreneur. But the Seven of Cups as advice? It really helped me get out of my head and take some actual, practical action. Still a lot of choices ahead, but at least I’m not just staring at clouds anymore.
