Welcome to Work That Tarot and your Weekly Tarot Forecast for your Career.

I hope the changes that happened last week in your world were welcomed with open arms and were for the best.

My change came in a really interesting form and with the 8 of Cups being all about emotion is it not overly surprising when I look at how it manifested. My experience which I talk about below changed my mental space and therefore changed my emotions. Which can be related to the ‘Walking Away’ vibration of the 8 of Cups. Which leads me to this weeks post.

Usually when people say something like ‘mind your own business’ we take it as a criticism that we are doing something wrong and, some times we are. How ever when we look at our career, our creative work, our spiritual work and our relationships we can see how this seemingly damming line can be powerfully transformed.

This week I had a bit of a motivation session with a very successful individual at my current work place (my muggle job) and we were talking about this theme of minding our own business and my friend put it beautifully.

‘I have to remind myself to not to look at what everyone else is doing, what everyone else is achieving and focus on my own production’.

So let’s boil that down.

Never mind the noise around you or what others do, focus on your great work.

Whether that work is writing, customer service, sports therapy, driving a bus, what ever. You can apply this to anything where you are working on something or towards something in life.

This is not an entirely new concept for me I have read the words and I have been told this before, but sometimes we forget and we get derailed. We need motivation continuously and reminders can come from many different places. No matter how many times I am told this, the message still remains a powerful thing for me at work to remember.

In our digital age where we see what EVERYONE is doing on social media it is hard to sometimes cut the noise, reduce the mental clutter and just do what you do and allow that to transform your life.

Imagine what would happen if we weren’t concerned about how much a fellow artist is producing next to our own production? If we didn’t get wrapped up with the fact that work colleagues are chatting on Facebook all day and not working? If we said. ALL that matters is what I do.

Granted this can get harder in team environments (another post to be sure) but this simple concept can be so powerful and I am writing several post it notes with this not so gentle reminder to keep me on track.
