4 of Cups Tarot Card: Overcoming Complacency

Boredom can be a self-fulfilling prophecy, can it not? We get stuck in the idea that there is “nothing to do” so we sit around and do nothing. When we do this, doom and gloom set in. We begin to believe the stagnant, empty feeling inside. We begin to believe that this is the true reality of our life. We begin to think that nothing good or worthwhile is going to come around, so we don’t try to find anything. We become complacent and willing to do things that bring us very little, if any fulfillment. We accept the unhappiness that this brings.

But why? Why do we do this? It makes no sense! Get up! Look around! There is always something to occupy your time and your mind. That is the message of the 4 of Desire (4 of cups) tarot card today. Quit wallowing in the self-afflicted misery of boredom and look up! Look around! Look behind you! Something is going on somewhere that you can put yourself into. If not, create something. The important thing is, don’t sit around feeling sorry for yourself under any circumstances. “Life’s for the living, so live it or you’re better off dead.”– Passenger
