((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell)) 

Yesterday, we touched on pride leading us into battle. Today, we are going to look Pride full in the face. Let us start with the card above; she is beautiful, brave, passionate, driven, capable, fierce – ready for anything! Or so she believes – and she may very well be ready.

But what if she is not?

• Will she make smart decisions?
• Will she act mindfully?
• Will she consider the impact of her actions on others? 

Probably not.

Pride goes before the fall. While it is important to have confidence, and believe in yourself, it is just as important to be realistic about your abilities. You may be able to move a mountain but be sure to ask yourself, “Should I?” and “Can I support and maintain the change?” because believe it or not, moving the mountain is just the completion of Step One. 

TAKEAWAY: Passion-fueled is awesome! Do not let it blind you to the reality of your situation.
