The Fight

Keywords:

Courage, strength, fortitude, standing up for what you believe in.

Tarot Card Coordinate: Seven of Wands

Advice:

When faced with adversity, The Fight wants you to stand firm to what you believe in. When others are trying to push you down, have courage to keep moving on despite the negativity. Stand firm and hold your ground.

Warnings:

Although it is important to stand up for your beliefs, you must also be respectful of the beliefs of others. Having courage does not mean becoming pushy or cocky. Trying to stir the pot will only end up biting you in the ass in the end. If you expect people to respect you, you must learn to respect them too, even if your viewpoints differ.

Example:

I just found a great job and I've been working very hard to succeed in it. However my family disapproves of my career choice. Although I want to respect my family's opinions, how can I reason with them with regard to my new job?

The Fight is advising you not to give up what you love, but also not to completely push your family away. Instead why not sit them down and explain that this is what makes you happy and as a family you want their blessing. Ask them why they are so disapproving? What would they gain from you quitting? You don't necessarily have to completely change their mind, but try to let them understand that it's your choice.
