Ten of Pentacles


When we are at the stage of achieving the goal we have strived for and tried to reach for quite a while, we often ask ourselves all sorts of questions:
- What is out there to be achieved?
- Can I achieve anything more?
- Is that what we have achieved is enough?
- Are the resources I have gained, an excuse to splurge?
There is probably less to worry if we are actually asking ourselves those questions. Problems starts when in our self-righteousness we are set in a mind position where questioning yourself is not an option - especially one issue.
The issue, I mean, is the wealth being a trap. We have forgotten that wealth should be thought of as a byproduct of abundance rather than the actual goal. We forgot about this as we knew what are financial setbacks means, what are the periods without a proper income and financial instability. We mistake our feeling of self-worth with an actual feeling of balance. And all this is surrounded by the fact that there is wealth to be achieved.
There are always some sort of drawbacks that are yet to be revealed. Our marriage or relationship ceased to be a true partnership, our bussines might not be on the right track, our job security might be at risk. All these problems can stem from the fact that we are not with ourselves. We might also lose the feeling of being reassured what is our actual goal in life, which very easily can be turned into certain sort of monetization. Our heart's yearning take a back seat here. Money is becoming the goal itself.
We lose the connection with ourselves, being deluded by an idea of success while the real success is being not only in balance with ourselves but understanding the reasons behind our behavioural patterns. This is obviously quite a big challenge when we take the path of just plodding along.
