[ 7. OWN YOUR POWER ]

CHANGING THE WORLD IS EASIER AFTER ONE HAS LEARNED TO CHANGE ONESELF. BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE AND YOUR WORLD WILL SHIFT.


We play victim whenever we want to deny the steps we can take to change the situations around us. This is not to say that we are never at the mercy of circumstances outside of ourselves. But this card reminds you that there is always something you can do, even if it's to change your attitude and responses, and to start making different choices.
Everything we face in our lives is a consequence of past personal and collective choices that we've made. It is sometimes too easy to throw up our hands and claim that there's nothing else that we can do. Well, whatever we say is so, becomes so.
We need to become aware that we always have power over our choices. If we feel that we are forced into certain decisions because of circumstances, we may actually be shutting our doors and denying our responsibility of searching for alternate solutions or making a stand against coercion.
This card is a strong invitation to start looking at what you can do, not what you cannot. Take responsibility for where you are and look at all of your options, including those that you may not have considered before. You can then reclaim your power to determine where you're going.
