The Tarot and The Question: Should We Change, Can We Change
I am a Tarot reader. Of course, I believe in the messages of the cards, ranging from The Fool to The Devil, that we can and should change. In the 2021 book "Tarot for Change," Jessica Dore explains how that can unfold and what usually blocks it.
But not everyone has the mindset that we do change. In a provocative article in The New Yorker, Joshua Rothman delves into the issue if who we are as human beings is set in childhood. And that's that. He admits there are myriad points of view on that.
But in professional life - and most of my clients come to me for guidance on careers - it has become a platitude that we must change and keep changing. Part of that, as we hear on CNBC, is that business must be done differently. So many workplaces are in chaos struggling to do just that. Employees are being reprogrammed. If that doesn't take then they are out the door.
If it's accurate that we don't really change then what is going on is acquiring window dressing to align with whatever the management meme is. However, it requires the ability to be flexible to even go along with that. Clients often want guidance how they can loosen up and shake off the former persona.
On a personal level, it is all too common for disappointed lovers to ask me: Will he/she change? The Tarot cards are usually not bullish on that. Change is very hard. Humans have to want to change very much and then there is the additional challenge if they can do that and sustain it. Of course, this brings up the age-old wisdom in relationships. That is, don't go into it convinced you will change someone.
Takeaway: Yes, we can and probably should change. But few can pull it off.
