6 of Pentacles / 4 of Cups
Ignoring an offer of help and assistance.
An opportunity is overlooked or lost because of feelings of apathy and isolation.
With most of us the first thing that comes to mind with Pentacles is money. Pentacles however, represent much more than just cash. They represent all tangible resources in the material world as well as the health of our bodies. They represent skills and abilities with which we can earn income, but also share freely and/or exchange with others.
Often when we are feeling isolated, detached, or let-down our first instinct is to emotionally withdraw into our own private little world. When we feel like this, the last thing we want to do is reach out for help or get out and interact with others. But, if left untended for too long, this can spiral down into depression. We may not feel like painting the town, but another good solution is to go out and get involved in helping others. Charity organizations, for instance, are a wonderful place to volunteer our services because when we reach out and offer what we have to others, such as our time, energy and skills, it brings us out of our shell and we begin to realize that, no matter what has happened to us, we still have something of value to give and share. Sharing with others gives us the opportunity to focus on something besides our own problems and the rewards are often greater than we would expect.
So, anytime we get too wrapped up in our own troubles one of the best solutions is to get out and give of ourselves to others. It brings us out of our shell and it makes the world a better place for someone else. That looks like a win-win situation to me!
