The arrows in your quiver tell
Go use your precious talents well

To every situation and problem we face, each one of us brings a unique blend of different approaches and skills. The first question the Skills card asks of us is: what resources do we bring that will help us here?

As well as alerting us to our own strengths and experience, the card may also point to where we lack them. Recognising our own weaknesses is often a key step to working through a difficult dynamic. It is an opportunity as well as a challenge - an opportunity to sharpen a quiver we may let go blunt.

The card also points to our own identities. Just as we may often define ourselves by our jobs and role in society, so too we are we likely to think of ourselves, and those around us, in terms of our gifts and abilities.

Lastly, the card reminds us of the basic human need to constantly develop our own abilities and strengths so that we may fulfil our full potential and realise a higher state of being, both conscious and unconscious.
