Worrying about expert status, impatience, not enjoying the journey, unwarranted feelings of doubt or failure, insecurities, lack of direction or focus. taking on too much too quickly

Today, take one small step ahead. Sometimes we worry about not making it to our destiny fast enough, not building our content quickly enough, or not being expert enough the moment we begin. (That pattern of not enough? Let that go. Because one step ahead is all you need, sweet pea.) Even overnight successes happen in stages! Learn to revel in lifelong learning and stepping, and trust those who walked before you—and who knew that the journey was more important than the final destination. Whether you are moving toward adding new skills to your toolkit, or toward a giant dream you’ve just started to envision—whatever it is that you are building—determination and perseverance are mighty mindsets to adopt. This card also suggests that you are 100% worthy of sharing any steps that you’ve learned with others, even if you’ve learned them recently. And if that doesn’t sound like music to your soul, maybe it’s time to start logging your steps and your progress to remind yourself how far you have come. When you string them all together, they become marathons of onestep-in-front-of-the-other, and the rhythm they create is your divine dance toward expansion. One inspired step at a time.
