So, the other day, I was messing around with my tarot cards, just trying to get a feel for what’s up in my life, you know? And I pulled the Seven of Pentacles, which got me thinking. This card, it’s all about putting in the work and then waiting to see what happens, right? It’s like planting a seed and then just chilling until it sprouts. But it also makes you wonder, “Am I on the right track, or should I switch things up?”
I’ve been at my current job for a while now, and things are going okay. It’s stable, and I’m learning stuff, but sometimes I feel like I’m just going through the motions. The Seven of Pentacles made me pause and reflect on whether this is really what I want to be doing long-term. I mean, I’m making progress, but is it the kind of progress I’m actually aiming for?
Taking a Step Back
- Started by listing out what I’ve achieved so far in my job.
- Thought about what I enjoy and what I don’t.
- Realized that I haven’t really set any clear goals for the future.
This whole process was like a wake-up call. I’ve been so caught up in the day-to-day that I haven’t really stopped to think about where I’m heading. The card suggests it’s a good time to make some long-term plans, like five or ten years down the line. So, that’s what I did. I started brainstorming what I want my career to look like and what steps I need to take to get there.
Changing Course?
- Considered whether I’m in the right field.
- Explored other areas that interest me.
- Decided to research some courses or certifications that could help me switch gears if needed.
One thing the Seven of Pentacles points out is that it’s not too late to change direction. You’re not locked into anything yet. This was kind of relieving for me. I started looking into other fields that have always interested me, just to see what’s out there. I even signed up for a couple of newsletters and joined some online communities to get a better sense of what those jobs are really like.
Investing Wisely
- Made a plan to allocate my time better.
- Focused on projects that align with my long-term goals.
- Started networking with people in my desired field.
The card also talks about making smart investments, not just with money, but with time and energy too. So, I started being more intentional about how I spend my time at work. I focused on projects that actually align with my long-term goals and started saying “no” to things that don’t. I also made an effort to connect with people who are doing what I want to be doing. I reached out to a few folks on social media, just to chat and learn from their experiences.
In the end, pulling the Seven of Pentacles was a real eye-opener. It pushed me to take a hard look at where I am and where I want to be. It’s not about making rash decisions, but about being mindful and strategic. It’s like the card is saying, “Hey, you’ve done good so far, but let’s make sure you’re heading in the right direction.” And honestly, that’s some solid advice.
