Eight of Pentacles Tarot Card Reversed Meaning

Practice isn’t glamorous. The repetition involved in being good at something demands discipline. If your heart isn’t truly into what you are doing, it’s easy to get discouraged. It’s also easy to get discouraged if you aren’t learning something in a way that makes sense to you. Also, consider if it really is important for you to excel at this activity. A lot of satisfaction can be had in just enjoying an activity for its own sake. Don’t put pressure on yourself to be “the best”.
