Nine of Cups

You got the role, the level, the thing you wanted. Now you are coasting and calling it well-earned. Well-earned lasts a season.

What have you stopped trying at because you already have the title?

Do one thing this week that the earlier, hungrier you would have done.

Money is fine now. Fine is the most dangerous number, because nothing forces you to look.

What are you not doing with money because nothing is currently wrong?

Do one boring, forward-looking money task this week that comfort has let you skip.

You have what you wanted with them and you have stopped bringing anything new to it. Contentment is good. Autopilot looks the same from the outside.

When did you last do something for this relationship that was not routine?

Do one un-routine thing for them this week.

You are choosing the option that keeps you comfortable and calling it wisdom. Sometimes it is. Check.

What is the comfortable choice protecting you from having to learn?

Write down what the uncomfortable option would teach you, then decide.

You are content, and you are a little bored, and you are treating the boredom as ingratitude. It is not. It is a signal.

What did you want before you got what you have?

Reach for one thing this week that you gave up wanting when things got comfortable.

The work is good and people say so. You have started making the version that gets that response. It is very comfortable in there.

What is the risk you have stopped taking since the work started landing?

Take it this week, in one piece, and do not share it until it is done.
