This week’s tarot card is “The Singer of Courage”. This card speaks of bravery, and moral strength.
Most people have decided by the age of three or four what they must do to survive. From this decision, this belief about how the world is, most of our fears and self-limitations grow. Have we the courage to discover and break through these limiting beliefs, awaken to the greater possibilities and go for our objectives? We need to transcend our fears and accept the gift of courage.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but that which enables us to experience fear and not be stopped by it. It is also what enables us to do what we believe is right even when there is pressure from others around us to do otherwise. It is what enables us to go ahead into the unknown, where there are no guarantees of safety or security.
Ordinary living takes courage, and to rise above the ordinary into the extraordinary takes even more courage. One of the keys to courage is to consider the fear and find a way to let the energy of the fear itself power the action. That is true courage.
