Call to Action
It is time to get over yourself and get up and do something about your life. This card is apathy at its heart, but apathy can have a few causes. If you have been burned after effort in the past, you’re more likely to sit back and not try again. So when this card comes up, maybe you use the sitting-down time to figure out if you’re ready to be brave.
