Change yourself Quote by Rob Parnell
““In the next five cards, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, and The Devil, we see that, armed with knowledge of life and its tests, the hero/fool faces resistance to personal growth and change in the form of the natural order, new perspectives, the need to destroy the past, the exercising of self-control and the resistance of temptation. It's easy to give in to these because they're designed by the universe to undermine your resolve. To change, you need to stand up to the temptations, and literally change yourself through a symbolic death to acquire the resulting alteration of your worldview.””
