Today’s card is a reminder that we can all come together. It’s not a card from any deck. I think I would call this the Four of Coins.
Why? Well, when you look at how these four designs come together, they seem stingy, protective almost. They have narrow points of view where they connect. At their outer edges though, there is sprawling designs where they show off their style.
The Four of Coins is often called the Miser’s Card because it shows someone desperately holding on to money. Of course that isn’t just money. It’s status. It’s position. It’s rank. It’s how they are seen in their community.
When they are forced to deal with others, they only give small bits of themselves for fear they might lose. But what is it exactly that they would lose?
What if they flowed freely into that encounter. What if they blended their designs with the other? It would be a crazy riotous mess for sure, but think of the bonus. What new patterns might emerge if they just let go of their need to be unique.
What if they created something amazing and new? What if they created a net that garnered them so much more than they had? So much more than they acknowledged was available? What then?

For your 180 seconds today, can you commit to looking at others as opportunities for merging into something great rather than as competitors?
