The Chariot, Decameron Tarot

"The chariot continues forward. There could be a pleasant surprise during the journey but be careful not to let the opportunity slip away"

Are we really focused enough?
The traditional chariot portrays two creatures in different colors pulling the wagon. The two are reined in to pull in the same direction.
Are all parts within us pulling in the same direction?
In the right direction?
Are we really staying put on one (OUR) chariot, or are we trying to ride many?

Are there still parts of us still pulling in a direction defined or given to us by something outside of us?
Keeping us tangled up in things we 'ought' to do.
If we are, chances (risks) are that we will miss the aforementioned opportunity that the card speaks about.

If we're invested in things that are not in alignment with our true purpose and needs - if ever so little - it pulls us off track.
Scatters our focus.
And that only to 'please' something or someone.
To keep others quiet, 'make others like us', not disappoint, or whatever reason we consciously or unconsciously have.
It's not worth it.
Not for anything in the world.

We must continue forward, on OUR path, in OUR direction.
No matter how 'weird' it looks or feels to others - and maybe even ourselves ,:)
That's our prime responsibility.

That's were OUR opportunities and pleasant surprises lay!
The ones truly fulfilling us.

We just cannot keep jumping on and off our Chariot for 'side gigs' (no matter how innocent and well intended), one day we won't get back up.
