Knight of Wands Tarot Card: What are you doing with your brilliant ideas?
Everybody has a brilliant idea now and then, just as everybody gets inspired. The difference though, between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people is that successful people take their brilliant ideas and inspirations and do something with them. These people embody the Knight of Wands.
The Knight of Wands refuses to be passive when they receive an inspiration. They know that to act on inspiration is to bring something totally cool into the world. So many people do this- they have an idea and say, “Wouldn’t it be cool if….” For example, who hasn’t had an idea for a good movie. Who hasn’t said, “You know what a good movie would be…” And then they detail what they think a good movie would be, and that’s as far as it goes.
A true Knight of Wands, however, will say, “You know what a good movie would be…” And then they will write a script and actually make that movie. This is just one example. Knights of Wands have a drive to see their inspirations become reality. They have a need to see it become real. When you find yourself inspired, thinking of what a really great idea is, act on it. Refuse to be passive.
Even if it seems impossible, don’t give up on it. Find the way to make it happen. The way is there. Let the Knight of Wands within you make a reality of it. –Jim Larsen
