“He may have all the swords now, but I warrant someone will find something else to stab in his back.” Barbara Moore

((The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

Winning isn’t everything, and sometimes, it is the worst thing.

As we all know, everyone loves a winner, right up until they start to take him apart, because what “everyone” truly loves is watching a spectacular fall from grace. In the absence of spectacle, random losses will suffice and any grave is suitable for dancing.

TAKEAWAY: Remember the importance of grace, win or lose; people are less likely to seek comeuppance from “good sports.”

Be brave, do your best, pull no punches, and may the best person win!

But never forget: WATCH YOUR BACK!

PRACTICAL MAGIC TIP: Tiger’s Eye increases courage, strength, and bravery – keep a piece next to your bed at night to help you sleep safely, and recharge your vim and vigor for the next day. Follow it up with a morning shower including rosemary and mint (no shortage of high quality bath products on the market – pick one you like, no muss no fuss), and start your day ready for whatever comes your way!
