Crossroads and the Tarot

Last night I went to my second annual Ice Wine and Dine downtown. Last year we attended the event we had our cards read by the fortune teller. Her readings were spooky and accurate and for someone who is a 'skeptic' I was blown away. We went to see her the minute we arrived at the event and she did not disappoint again.

I asked the question 'I am at a crossroads right now, what should I do?' She advised me of my desire to control outcomes and my lack of patience and pointed out that I had set the wheels in motion for the transition, but that it was important for me stop trying to make things happen and let things happen. She gave me the freedom to 'relax' for the next four months as things settled in, but let me know that all of the strategic moves I have been making were pointing me in the right direction.

My work. It is a huge part of my life, a home away from home, and a source of ongoing passion and frustration for me. I have changed careers, jobs, and roles many times and my desire to find the 'right role' in the 'right place' seems to be the bane of my existence. I believe I have found the place, but the changes have taken place that are beyond my control. I have worked diligently and strategically to make a place for myself in the new organization. That the fortune teller sensed my uneasiness (and for me, that is unusual) lead me to believe that there are people who know how to sense or see the essence of our souls to some extent.

My question, expanded is, how does one accept that everything is going to change yet again, and not (as I have always done) try to control the outcome, but instead accept that there are things that are destined to occur with out a 'helping' hand?
