There's No Perfect Answer

November - December 2024

I worked the same job for 19 years. I hated it, but it paid the bills. Then, in 2017, I entertained an exciting but terrifying question: Could I be an entrepreneur? I wasn't sure, so I needed something that felt like a guarantee. I searched for signs that would feel like a big, clear "yes!" Instead, what I found was a tarot card deck.

There's No Perfect Answer

I wasn't especially interested in tarot, but I spotted it in a store and was desperate for answers. So I bought the deck. Maybe this could...tell my future or something? I quickly learned that tarot does not, in fact, make predictions. Instead, it does something real and actually valuable: It prompts questions.

I'd pull a card. It would have, say, a bear on it.
