Hey y'all! How was last week? Did you practice Eudaimonia? WHAT? You don't know what that is? Keep reading!

Today's card is a reminder that practice makes you, if not perfect, happy. Or so the concept of eudaimonia tells us. I ran across that word (which is very fun to say. Go ahead, try it. I'll wait.) on a blog by Joanna Powell Colbert. She sim
ply said that she was practicing eudaimonia that day.

Eudaimonia, according to Princeton, is a “contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous.” Aristotle would tell you that it mean “striving toward excellence based on one’s unique talents and potential.” (I wrote a blog on it here --> http://tarotbyarwen.com/blog/?p=1674).

And get this, y'all. It isn't about BEING perfect. It's about striving towards excellence. And not just some uniform concept of excellence, either. It's based on what you are good at. It's based on making the most of you.

That really sings to me. It takes away the "only an A student is any good" shadow that so many of us hang over our own heads. We can't coast through life because someone else tagged us as "Most Likely To Work For The Man For The Rest Of His Life" in high school.

Nope. We have to all sit up, take notice and, most importantly, take action.

Imagine a world where we were each striving towards excellence based on our own unique talents and potential. And where we were lending a hand (even if in wild applause) to those next to us. Imagine the chain of good we could weave across the Universe.

Practice Eudaimonia, y'all. It's important.
