Growth is at the root of your spiritual destiny. Destiny is attained by choosing growth and reaching for your hearts desire to become the person that you always wanted to be. It doesn’t matter if you are young or old, you can grow. Life’s challenges are the catalysts that ignite your innate ability to grow. You grow and develop yourself by aspiring higher, stretching your limits, and extending yourself. It is a time to confront your fears of the heights of success because you have nowhere to go but up. So get on with it. Grow up!
Higher consciousness, through growth, is the key to the attainment of your unique destiny. Whether you are aware of it or not, the struggle to grow into your fuller self increases your consciousness. As you grow, you begin to see with greater clarity how your fears limit your world and hold you back. Perception, like light, is ever-expanding. As you experience the unfamiliar, you grow in your awareness and understanding of yourself, others and the world around you. Once you over come your fears, your intuitive wisdom, and your personal power increases and you begin to know yourself at deeper levels. Self-knowledge is powerful because it gives you self-confidence, purpose, and direction. If you are unwilling to risk and reach for what you hold dear, you loose energy and the world becomes less alive. It may even look and feel stagnant because your growth has stopped. The integrated growth of mind, heart and body raises your awareness of all of the good things that life has to offer. You become healthier and happier because you are choosing growth. When you draw this card, it might mean that you are holding back, editing yourself or not fully expressing yourself physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. This card’s message is telling you that the time for accelerated conscious growth is Now.
Traditionally, the Ten of Wands represents the archetype of suppression. It is time to ask your self important questions. What is oppressive in your life? What is causing you to suppress your heart’s desires? What is the first step towards growth? Then get on with it and don’t give up until you feel the lightness of your heart melting away your fears. Growth is worth the effort. Be strong willed and determined; start growing and don’t give up.
