"You sense the potential for creating a new self-image of self-concept.  You can privately name yourself in a new way." - Gail Fairfield

Sparks are flying, flames shooting forth and I am soaring above the earth!  Oh I wish that was how I felt right now.  Just looking at the vibrant and exuberant energy vibrating forth from the figure on the Experimental Ace of Fire makes me wish I felt that way.  Of course that begs the question - why don't I feel that way?  Lately my energy level has been low to non-existent.  I've been letting things go until the last minute or putting them off endlessly.  I just feel worn out.  I don't think it's a permanent condition but I have to figure out a solution quickly because even I'm getting bored of hearing me go on about it.

Looking at the Ace of Batons from the Dame Fortune deck reminded me of something - I hold the scepter; I am the ruler of this situation.  I don't need to wait for someone else to come along and make it better or fix it for me.  I have the power to do that; I have the energy.  I just have to find a way to channel it and focus it.  Maybe that's what the key is right now - I need to learn more effective ways of harnessing my energy.  Instead of flitting about from one interest to another, gaining only a shallow understanding of a number of topics, now may be the time for me to go deeper into one or two of them.  

One way I can do this is by focusing on my DP materials for ADF.  I've been working on them for almost 10 years and I'm still not finished.  I will complete one task and then become distracted or start avoiding.  Now that school is finishing up, I will have the time to focus my energies to this task and actually complete it.  That will be quite an accomplishment - one that might actually make me jump in excitement.
