What This Card Means to Me
You can’t control everything in life and you shouldn’t. The only one thing you really need to worry about is whether or not you are living in accordance to your Authentic Self. Doing this sets the path clearly before you almost without effort. It may mean making a sacrifice now but it will reap greater benefits later if it keeps you moving towards your intended goals and centered on your true self.
