7 of Wands Tarot Card: Setbacks are new opportunities
Setbacks are a part of life that we all go through at times. They are not, however meant to keep you from your goals or to deter you from pursuing them. Setbacks happen, and they are frustrating. But keep in mind, they are only frustrating in the moment. They happen, and they give you a chance to expand your mind to find new ways to examine a situation. As you encounter a setback, accept it as a challenge.
Take it as a chance to prove that you have the imagination to to find a way around it. It doesn’t have to stop you dead in your tracks. You don’t have to give up just because things became unexpectedly difficult for you. Take the frustration you feel and transmute into power. Instead of letting it get to you, take it as a challenge to get past it, then harness that determination and get past your block. To do this is to take control of your destiny and not merely take what is thrown at you. This is the 7 of wands within you. –Jim Larsen
