The child, in your case, refers not to a literal child. In your case, the child card means that you are about to experience a rebirth. Something fresh and new is coming to you, and it may take a couple of months to get here but it will change your entire life. This could be a new job, or new work environment. It could even mean a new city or home. Regardless of the change in your life— the card featuring the child reminds us to look at all new things as optimistic challenges. A child does not become angry because it cannot master his first steps, he simply learns to walk, because it is the thing that he must do in order to survive. The most important thing about this card is that the challenges should be embraced with a youthful optimism and lighthearted energy. Change can be delightful. We hear often that optimists see the glass half full, while pessimists see the glass as half empty. Have you ever heard that old saying before? Well guess what, there’s a third group of people, who drink the water, so there is no longer a problem. The point is that while life and change is not in your control; you are not the barista or bartender who served up the original glass, you certainly have it in your power to decide what to do with the water! Life is what we make it, so let’s make it right. Remember that you can look at stress in one of two ways -- as an aggravation, or as a challenge. The people who look at it as a welcome challenge will succeed.
