a bit of encouragement

So the fact that, in addition to everything else going on right now, I have an important paper due Monday for my Ethnic Conflict/Civil War class is, let's say, a bit overwhelming. I could use some advice/encouragement, so I drew a quick pair from my Thoth. Ask for encouragement and encouragement you shall receive, ha!

Yes, a positive set of cards this is. The Magus here is very apt - combining willpower and action, the spiritual with the earthly, the mind with matter. Taking all of your resources, all of your abilities, all of your ideas, and sorting them and channeling them properly. Will and mind and action, yes. Make things happen, make things work for you. Regardless of what else is going on, regardless of any obstacles and difficulties and drama and whatever, if you want something enough, if you can focus on what you need to do and actually ACT and DO it and try and put your all into it...you CAN succeed. Totally within your grasp. Success can be achieved. Real, tangible, physical, graspable success is there, waiting for you, the orange dawn color behind the rose, the star there. Star, optimism, hope, yes.

No one can do this for you. This is totally in your hands. By the same token though, no one and nothing can stop you but yourself. It's all about what action YOU choose to take. You do have the resources, just need to apply them properly. Make the most of your mind. Focus, concentrate, GO.

Duly noted, cards. Duly noted. Now off I go to try to make this message a reality ;]
