10 of Wands Tarot Card: Shift your focus
We get to that point sometimes when we have had so many ideas, and have been so open to new opportunities that we get the idea that we can do it all, so we take it all on. It may seem okay at first, but the day can easily come when you realize you are spending so much energy trying to accomplish it all that you are not accomplishing any of it. And why is this? It is because when you are focused on one thing, you think about the things you are not focused on, and you feel bad about that.
You feel like you are not doing enough, so you shift your focus. Now, as you are focused on this other thing, your mind is still on something else you are not working on. This becomes a cycle that keeps you from finishing anything you are trying to get done. This can give you the impression that you are unable to do anything. What can be done about that?
Pick one of these things. Pick any of them. Don’t even try to prioritize them, just pick one. Now forget the others. It’s not easy to do, but do it anyway. Forget the others and stay focused on this one. Work on it. Get it done. Do it! Get this finished, and it will a load off your mind and weight off your shoulders. You will get a sense of accomplishment that tells you that you do have what it takes to finish what you started.
Take the affirmation that you are capable of finishing things and focus on the next thing you want to finish. Again, don’t prioritize, just pick one and do it. Keep going. Before long, you will have accomplished a great many things that you would not have had you let your mind remain scattered among them all. This is the 10 of Wands piece of you. Honor it by getting focused and getting things done. –Jim Larsen
