5 of Wands Tarot Card: Stepping Up to the Challenge

What does the 5 of Wands tarot card mean? Among other things, it means competition and proving yourself. You don’t always know what you can do until you push yourself to do it. You don’t always push yourself until you have to prove yourself. You don’t always have to prove yourself until you are challenged. You are not always challenged until you have competition that is trying to be better than you.

When somebody is trying to be better than you, and are intent on showing them that they are not, then it is time to step up and really show what you capable of. You may have to hone some skills and bring yourself up to a new level. In so doing, you are on your way to mastering whatever skill this is. The 5 of Wands encourages you to push yourself to that next level of perfection. Prove you are up to the challenge by besting your competition. — Jim Larsen

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.

5 of Wands Tarot Card: Why competition is so important

Competition keeps you on your toes. It keeps you out of complacency and keeps you always thriving to be that much better. Embrace competition in whatever it is you do, be it as a musician, magician, statistician, beautician or mortician. When see other people who do the same thing you do, and you see that  they are doing it better than you are doing it, don’t get mad. Get even.

It’s time to reevaluate your own ways. It is time to assess what is working and how to make it work even better. It is time to take note of what is not working and decide if this process even matters anymore. If not, eliminate it. Stop putting energy towards something that is not working, and put it towards improving something that does. Keep doing this. This is a message from the 5 of Wands. Don’t fall into stagnation while your competition keeps on getting more and more ahead of you.
