5 of Wands Tarot Card: Avoid complacency through competition

Without competition, complacency sets in.  The 5 of Wands tarot card reminds us of this. As you do whatever it is you do, it is easy to take it for granted. You are good at it. You do it all the time. You get into your groove and go with the flow of it. You hit your comfort zone within it and probably stay there. You are doing good, you are effective, so why worry about anything? While this is fine, it does not lead to further growth. You may need a spark to get you out of your comfort zone and onto new levels of mastery. Competition gives you that spark.

Competition kicks your ego into gear as you realize you need to be at least as some other person doing what you do if you are going to stay in the game. Competition forces you to improve your skills to gain more and more mastery in your field. Use this impetus towards betterment to do better, more and more, to forge ahead, not just for yourself, but also as an example to others of what can be done.

As you improve your skills, those that see you as competition will strive to be better than you, thus inspiring even more people, even yourself all over again. Let the 5 of wands tarot card remind you of this and inspire you to do better and better and to not stagnate.
