Short Mythical Story: Decisions, Decisions

This short story is the first in a series of 22 from my book of short stories, The Germinatrix. They are each inspired by one of the Major Arcana of the Tarot. This short story is inspired by Key 1 : The Magician. Although not connected by storyline, each awakens an aspect of our consciousness, in a subtle way. They are designed to delight, entertain and pique curiosity. The book is available in print and for Kindle if you can't wait.

Key 1.

Decisions,

Decisions.

Let's go for it,

The man proclaimed to the four winds,

Just as the sun went down in a blaze of iridescent clouds.

The world's biggest procrastinator had finally made a decision.

This was it.

He'd consulted with what few friends he could call friends at his local pub.

He'd checked Wikipedia,

Searched for references on Google and looked over Amazon.

Nobody had ever had this idea before.

He was going to make his million.

He would finally make it and prove everyone wrong.

The next day the old doubt set in.

How was he going to afford it?

Which aspect of his lightbulb moment should he implement first?

Who was he to think his idea was that groundbreaking?

Was the idea that original?

As is often the way with such quandaries,

The decision was made for him.

He was merely the vehicle for the infinite to have some fun.

A mate of his had told him about crowdfunding and how he could get lots of people to contribute small amounts of money to fund his idea.

He'd completely forgotten about posting his invention online and was completely taken aback when he got the email telling him that his funding target had been reached.

People loved it and people loved him.

What happened later that same day sealed his fate.

A philanthropist had spotted that his crowdfunding target had been reached and emailed directly to set up a call.

Another earth rotation later they got chatting.

It turned out that the philanthropist had spare capacity in one of his factories to manufacture the device.

Furthermore,

He wanted to act as his international distributor to take the idea global.

All I'd like you to do is to let more magic come through you,

The philanthropist told the man.

The decision made.

Reviews

Wow, I think this one is my favourite till now. So relatable. I felt like a lesson on creativity. Those line "Decision made for him, magic come through you". Thank you Tom😊. Also waiting for more stories from you that you mentioned in the previous replies.

I listened to this I believe a while back . I’m glad I made the decision to listen again.I have an idea and all those questions crossed my mind . This is so helpful in believing if you put it out there ..the universe answers. I love to be reminded of synchronicity! Ty so much dear Tom. I’m going to listen to this whole playlist as it’s inspiring! 💫

Tom, “Your a Rockstar teacher” I’m going for it! Thank You!

Great story “to the point”

Love story. The magician card to me is being present in the physical world to the gifts and chances the cosmos sends your way so you can use your innate skills to serve it and others and grow yourself to be the person the cosmos sees in you

I know you must have had doubts to be able to communicate the relief of doubt so well. Thanks again. 🥰🌈👊🏽💖

I liked it, I went to look through the rest of your meditations to see what other Tarot meditations I can find, there were none, I have studied the Tarot for many years, and would like to see more Tarot meditations on Insight Timer, thank you thank you👍🧞‍♂️💜
