((TEN OF WANDS. The Steampunk Tarot, Moore and Fell))

Winning seems to be a driving priority for us all but have you ever noticed how few people seem to understand the responsibility that accompanies victory?

Take a good look at the card above; her victory leaves her with responsibilities she must shoulder on her own. What does she do? She organizes them into a bundle, straps it to her back, and moves steadily forward with long, strong strides. She moves with purpose.

George Bailey (It’s a Wonderful Life – google is your friend, check it out.) knew he had responsibilities but he did not realize how that translated into actual people depending on him, some for their very lives. Let today be the day you realize not only how far you have traveled but also how well; how many others benefit from your success? Think of the many ways you have touched others – family, friends, loved ones, communities, small businesses – with your own life.

Choose to be your best self each day; live in the moment, be mindful, and know your life matters.
