cards 1 and 5 have the position listed in square brackets because you can choose your own cards. They don't need to be selected randomly.

C-1: [Start/Present Situation] - 4 of pentacles

trying to hold on to what you have and unwilling to open yourself up to chances or risk. You see it as risk but you're losing out on the chances out there. What is it that you are holding on to so tightly? the lack of progress on your work? not handing work in to be judged? not moving on to meet someone new?

C-2: What do I currently need to know to attain what I want? - 3 of wands

you don't have to accept your current environment. This isn't necessarily the hand that you've been dealt. Remember that it was your inaction and indecision that has led you to this position. You can change it. You can say no thanks and try again.

C-3: What challenges might face me? - 5 of cups

you will face a time of loneliness and being alone. You've handled it before so you know that you can get through it. The loneliness will only be temporary.

C-4: What might be the best path to take to attain what I want? ace of pents

reach out to someone and make an offering. Ask for an opportunity - invest in your own future. Recognise that you have nothing to lose.

C-5: [End/What I'm aiming for] - 4 of cups

you're aiming for dissatisfaction? on the path you are on now you will only achieve mediocrity. You need to aim for something higher. Try choosing your next goal with a better view of the future.
