TCOTD: Ten of Pentacles in reverse, from the Rider Waite deck
There are often those around us who seem to spend their day projecting their own insecurities onto others - "Oh, I wouldn't do that", "Oh, I don't think that's right", or "I've always done in this way, you should too". At the base of this card, is others close to us trying to dictate how we do things, whether it's how we live our lives, or how we work. The thing is, what THEY would or wouldn't do, or "have always done" isn't necessarily right for YOU. If you know what works, or what makes you happy, then go with it, irrespective of what other's may think or say. A lot of the time our parents, significant other or work colleagues try to put pressure on us to conform to THEIR expectations. Ask yourself this: Are you building/living the life you genuinely want, or are you building/living the life based on the expectations of others? If it's the former, great. But if it's the latter, (especially if you're miserable!), ask yourself who's definition of success are you trying to meet? If it isn't your own, then you need to make some changes.
