I need a Tarot Reading regarding my work life

Hello TerryS,

I don't tout myself as a professional tarot reader or even as a particularly experienced one, but felt that it wouldn't hurt to lend my assistance.  I have been using a tarot deck for a little less than a year and have always pulled some meaningful responses.

It seems that the place you're in right now is one of living in the past and a resistance to change.  It would be good to not only remember your passed successes but also the rough challenges, events that you may currently be avoiding in your consciousness because they don't seem to have any value to what you are going through now--keep in mind that our pitfalls and mistakes will continue to plague us in the subconscious until we put active thought into them to transform them.

It appears that on the internal level, you may be overlooking something, namely your emotional urges and inner passion.  Perhaps you are concerned too much with completing the mundane tasks of your day that you've fallen into a sort of tunnel-vision.  Perhaps also there is a highly artistic side to you that ought to be wielded in your own free creative expression.  This drive to accomplish is strong within you, so use it as a positive force to pay attention to the right details. [8 of pentacles]
The next card, to me, really revealed how and why you asked for this reading.  Perhaps there is an idea you have or an old hobby that you'd like to start anew but have been hesitant due to uncertainty and the fear of breaking routine.  Well, if this is so, if you are looking to embark on an occupational venture it looks like the time is ripe to do it.  Calm your fears and anxieties because you have the power to create your destiny; deep down you know you [and the world] deserve it and with a little searching you will discover exactly what you desire.  Pin down this calling and work with diligence towards it for this is your destiny. [9 of pentacles]
How could you possibly accomplish this, do you ask?  Are there thoughts of resistance or refusal entering your mind?  Have you been harboring a world of fantasy [negative or positive] and had your hopes dashed and negative tapes [subliminal mind patterns] confirmed?  Well then start telling yourself some new stories!  Things want to work out to fit our perceptions, that's how we keep ourselves sane and grounded.  This is not always a good thing for us as we encounter negative circumstances in our environment.  Encourage yourself but be realistic about it, that's the only way you'll believe it, and belief is necessary to experiencing reality.  Remember that every thought you make sets up a vibration and attracts things of a similar vibration creating a resonance pattern...you have the power to wipe out and transform what's not serving you and input what you want to influence you.  Illusions are bound to fall by the wayside and yearnings materialize as your truth alligns and becomes stronger.

As with all gains, losses are experienced elsewhere.  A change in attention is always needed in adapting to the new circumstances we strive for.  Overconfidence will not aid you and neither will a harried attitude, but calm assurance and bravery of the truth will be a good guide.  If you focus on the journey then the quest will take care of itself; enjoy the moments leading up to success for they are the steps you have taken to get there.  Be careful not to get so goal-oriented that you forget to participate in your journey.  Slow down to life's pace or you're bound to miss an important turn and maybe even crash your ride.  Know that it's okay to mess-up sometimes, accept that this is a part of life.  Forgiveness is a treasure that lifts us from the cycles of bad and into the light of transformation.  [the chariot reversed]
