Curiosity may be what drives you more often than not, but keep in mind that you can’t chase every little thing that catches your interest. “Picking your battles” applies to more than just the fights you decide to take on and which you don’t. It’s also about making sure you are putting your energy into those things that will truly be fruitful or matter… and being realistic enough to let go of those that won’t be.
I struggle with this a lot, because I find so many creative projects and ideas to be interesting. There’s so many different things I want to learn how to do, and hone into a skill I do well. The problem? Just how many spoons do I have to give? Energy is a limited commodity, as is time. Sometimes that enthusiasm to explore the new makes it hard to remember that it’s only by setting aside the stuff that’s least likely to fulfill you that you are able to put time and energy into the ideas that will.

Once Upon a Time Prompt for February 7 : Quest
Today’s draw is the Six of Swords atop the King of Coins.
Sometimes if you want stability, you have to make the chances necessary to help it come into fruition. Sitting on your ass doing nothing won’t help. Only movement will. Only changing things up will create the shift that needs to happen to keep growth going and further the stability beneath your feet.
A lot of times when we find stability, we freeze within it an try to preserve it through stagnancy. The problem is that stagnancy actually creates cracks in that stable foundation we’ve managed to create, weakening it. Instead, today’s cards are a reminder that we must go after what we want, even when what we want is sitting right in our lap. It’s important to keep it healthy and strong through continued effort and a focus on healthy growth and moving in a direction that is right for you.

Once Upon a Time Prompt for February 8 : Spell
Today’s draw is the Eight of Pentacles atop the Tower card.
There are times when it doesn’t matter how hard you’ve worked or how skilled you are. Shit happens and what you have spent so much time and effort building falls anyway. This is because we get stuck, and the universe hates stagnancy.
Today’s cards are a reminder that these moments allow us to start over and do it better the second time around. This time, you have the skills under your belt to start over with some modicum of knowing what you’re doing. So you’re not really starting from scratch this time after all, are you?
