We are all living life with different struggles. We are all navigating life, and though we travel our own paths, we encounter the same themes and realities under different circumstances. A tarot deck is representative of the spectrum of the human experience. Each card in tarot has a traditional meaning and each deck the creator’s interpretation of that meaning. Kaila Wilde uses her knowledge and interpretation of the tarot as a personal growth tool and to create an affirmative statement + note to keep us lifted and to remind us that we are not alone.
Each week, take what you need. Leave what you don’t.
Card:
Wheel of Fortune
Affirmation:
I understand that change is a part of life.
Reflection:
Life is about change. People change. Situations change. Circumstances change.
The Wheel of Fortune is symbolic of impermanence. Although we can’t always be certain of when and how change is coming, we can be certain that it is headed our way. Sometimes we like and welcome changes that take place in our lives (ex. promotions, levels of relationships, births, etc.); Sometimes we dislike and are uncomfortable with the changes that take place in our lives (ex. death, separation, demotion). The reality is that we will experience all types of changes and we must figure out how to adapt to change with more ease.
Accepting and knowing that change is always in the process of taking place should remind us to practice gratitude. Knowing that change is always coming shouldn’t rob us of joy but should push us even more to create the life and happiness we want.We must remember to be grateful for life. We must remember to celebrate what we do have while we have it. We must remember to appreciate all experiences for what they bring to us and teach us. When we understand that changes are an inescapable part of life that are ever-occurring, it makes navigating changes less threatening. It is less threatening because our focus shifts from often resisting change to adjusting to change. Fortunately, we can teach ourselves to use any type of change that comes our way as an opportunity to personally grow and be better. Going to the next level requires change. Growth requires change. If we are open to it, constant change can mean constant opportunity for us to evolve.
Application:
Use changes that occur in your life as an opportunity to self-reflect and evaluate yourself. Are you living the type of life you want to be living? If so, what is happening or working for you? If not, what can you and do you need to start doing in order to be living the life you want?
