This was sooo good! The comfort I'm clinging to is 8 of Wands. It prevents me from fulfilling Ace of Pentacles reversed. The necessary perspective is 3 of Wands reversed. I asked Chat GPT, "Can a 'good' work ethic be a comfort?" LOL why, yes it can if it prevents you from being present for life and the difficult emotions that that can allow. I need to disentangle from performative life and be open to noticing what life is offering.

Each morning I will draw a COTD, but also 2 cards for ""Your will", God's will, my assignment for the day... this developed from you using the Wheel of Fortune to look at where opportunities are. So this morning: Hanged Man and 9 of Pentacles! Very much in alignment with your post.

A comfort I am clinging to 4 of Swords, Truce

The greater purpose it prevents me from fulfilling 9 of Pentacles, Gain

A necessary perspective on the comfort, which will aid me in releasing my attachment to it, The Universe

This is perfect. I've been looking at how I stay too long in situations that don't serve me in order to validate my worth. Relationships, jobs. My employer just hired another OT, a contract employee, and I've lost part of my patient load bc of it. I get paid per patient. I've been loyal and accommodating to this company, thinking that that mattered, and that they would protect their local employees. How naive, but similar to what I've done in personal relationships. I'm just finally getting this in my life, not just seeing it, but integrating it enough to do differently. After being in the vfence for a long time, I'm now actively looking at working PRN elsewhere and eventually leaving my current company. Communicated with a hiring Mgr last night.

Seems very juicy. Thoughts?

I should have added that the 2 of Wands and 8 of Swords were reversed
