Knight of Cups

You are in love with the job you imagined. The actual one keeps failing the script, and you are blaming the actual one.

What did you believe this job would be that no job could be?

Write down what it actually is, in three plain lines, and decide from that.

The financial plan is romantic. You can feel how it will go. That feeling has never been right about money.

Which number in this plan is a hope wearing a figure?

Replace the hope with a real quote or a real average this week.

You fell for who they could be. They are being who they are, and you are treating that as a betrayal.

What are you waiting for them to become that they have never once been?

Spend this week responding to the person in front of you, not the one in your head.

You are choosing the option with the best story. The story is doing the deciding. Stories do not pay for themselves.

Which choice would you make if it had to be described flatly, with no narrative?

Describe both options flatly today, then choose.

You are led by feeling and you are proud of it. Feeling has been leading you into the same disappointment for a while.

What keeps happening that you keep calling bad luck?

Write the pattern down today, without the excuse attached.

The idea of the work is gorgeous. The work itself is a mess and you keep going back to the idea for comfort.

What does the actual draft look like, without the vision on top of it?

Work only on the draft today. Do not open the vision.
