Seven of Cups

Seven of Cups

lens: overwhelm

You have options. But too many possibilities create paralysis.

Push harder

Too many options is a comfortable problem. Choosing one would make you responsible for it.

What it looks like, by what you are asking about

Work
Pattern

You have options at work, and the options are doing the deciding by never being narrowed. Possibility feels like progress. It is not.

Question

Which of your options would you drop if you had to keep only two?

Move

Drop the rest today, in writing, and choose between what remains this week.

Money
Pattern

Every money plan sounds good in your head. That is because none of them has met a bank statement yet.

Question

Which plan do you keep describing but have never costed?

Move

Cost one of them tonight, with real numbers, and let it be ugly.

A relationship
Pattern

You want everything from this, and you are not sure what you want first. The wanting is vivid. The asking is vague.

Question

If you could ask them for one thing, what would it be?

Move

Ask for that one thing this week, clearly.

A decision
Pattern

You are choosing between imagined outcomes. Every one of them is a fantasy, including the sensible one.

Question

What do you actually know about each option, as opposed to what you picture?

Move

Write the known facts for each in three lines today. Decide from those.

Yourself
Pattern

You have many versions of who you could become and you are trying them on instead of being one of them.

Question

Which version would you be embarrassed to admit you want most?

Move

Take one step toward that one today.

Creative work
Pattern

The ideas are all good and none of them is made. Choosing one feels like killing the others. It is the only way any survives.

Question

Which idea keeps coming back when you are not trying to think of ideas?

Move

Start that one today and put the rest in a list you do not open for a month.
