Ansuz and The Magician will help me to keep it simple

Original Rider Waite Tarot the Magician, Runes, Ansuz
After feeling a bit lost yesterday and having talked with some of you about the beauty of a simple life, I thought it would be a good idea to focus with my daily draw on how to keep life simple. I’ve decided to use my rune stones for the main part of the answer. This set of runes was my first divination tool. A few months I bought myself a deck of Rider Waite cards. Today this deck will be giving me some additional things to think about.
From the Runes I pulled Ansuz (mouth - God): the rune of speech, communication, inspiration, hopes and promises and creative solutions. It is the Rune of Odin who, after having hung 9 days from the branches of the Yggdrasil, discovered the runes, their meaning and their magic and shared his wisdom with mankind
Today this rune is telling me to be careful how I word my promises and intentions. To what extend can  I keep my word and when does it become more a chore than something which fulfills me and makes me truly happy. On the other hand, how much do I let spoken and written words influence me? Do I know what is really important to me or do I swim with the tide?
Then I pulled The Magician. Well if anyone knows what he wants, it this guy and he doesn't need much to achieve it. He is also all about declaring a vision, just as the rune Ansuz is: speaking the magic words and sending his intent into the universe. In my tarot journal I noticed that I had already connected the rune Ansuz with his card a very, very long time ago. 
So everything is coming down on being very specific and authentic on what it is  I really want to manifest in my life. Although I belief everything is possible when you set your mind to it, for me personally it is better to take it slow and  enjoy every step which brings me closer to how I want to live a simple life.
