The Tower Tarot Card: There is no point in living a lie
Sometimes we live in denial and try to convince ourselves that we love something or a situation that we are in when in all actuality, we do not. We might actually hate it, but we do what we can to convince ourselves that we don’t because it is too inconvenient for us. We take on situations that are important to us, such as a new job or a new home. We have put so much into these things – so much time and effort – that we are bound to them. We need to love them. We need to appreciate them. To not will only set us up for unhappy times ahead, as we have gone too far into it to back out.
So we tell ourselves how great it is. But what if it is not great? What if we are lying to ourselves? The lies will eventually be seen through. Our hearts call them out. One day we will discover just how much unhappiness this situation is causing us and we will endeavor to make changes. The denial up until then will cause stress, and this stress will become weight at the top of the tower that will eventually fall on top of us. So even if you cannot immediately change the situation you in, maybe you signed a contract that you cannot get out of, or it is not easy to resell the house you bought, why lie to yourself about being unhappy? Just admit it. Now you are living in reality. Now you can find what you need inside to deal with it.
There is no point living a lie. There is no shame in admitting you are unhappy. Towers can be intense when the fall, and they don’t always have to be built. Be careful about how they are built and save yourself the hardship of digging yourself out from under the rubble when one falls on you.
