So, I’ve been playing around with tarot cards lately, right? And I got really into this one card, the Ten of Pentacles. I mean, who wouldn’t be? It’s all about that good life, that happily ever after kind of vibe. But I started thinking, what if this card wasn’t just a card, but a person? What would that even look like? So, I decided to become that person for a week.
First thing I did was focus on my family. Not that I don’t usually, but I made a real effort. I called my grandma, even though we talk like twice a year. We ended up chatting for hours! Then I organized a family dinner. We ordered a pizza, but it didn’t matter. The best part is sitting around, sharing stories, and the kids are playing board games, and laughing, which is way better than some fancy restaurant. Made me realize how important these connections are, you know? Like, they’re the real treasure. Then, I also decided to be smart about money. I made a list of savings, and then I started putting some money aside. It wasn’t much, but it felt good to be building something, securing my future. I even started reading about those retirement plans and thought about how to make a will.
I also took some time to just appreciate what I have. Usually, I’m all about what’s next, what’s missing. But this week, I really tried to be grateful. I sat in my backyard, watched the sunset, and just… breathed. Sounds cheesy, but it was amazing. You know, it felt like winning the lottery, but without actually winning any money. I was just rich with blessings. I also reflected on my past, and how all those tough times actually made me stronger. And that I should stay true to my family values.
The experiment results
- Family First: I mean, family is everything, don’t you agree? It felt so good to be the glue, the one bringing everyone together. I realized that I should do these things all the time.
- Money Matters: Turns out, planning for the future isn’t just for old people! Feeling secure about money, even a little, is a huge weight off your shoulders.
- Gratitude is Key: Seriously, being thankful for what you have is like a superpower. It changes everything. I felt like I was already living the dream, just by appreciating the little things. I even started keeping a gratitude journal, and writing down my blessings.
At the end of the week, I felt…different. More grounded, more connected, more…rich. And not just in the money way, but in all the ways that matter. Like, I had this inner peace, this feeling that everything was going to be okay. It actually helped people around me see me better, and see my strength. And it made me see myself better, too.
So, yeah, that was my week as the Ten of Pentacles. Pretty cool, right? It’s not about having a mansion and a yacht. It’s about having a strong family, a secure future, and a heart full of gratitude. It’s about building something that lasts, something meaningful. And I finally understood what the card really means. Maybe I’ll try another card next week. Any suggestions?
