How do you play your hand?

If life is a poker game we cannot control the hand of cards we are dealt. We do, however, have complete choice on how we play our cards and whether we bluff, play full out or throw in our hand as soon as we get a little scared. How do you play?

We have a choice.
We can blame the dealer for giving us rubbish cards, or our fellow players for being stupid or lucky. We can follow the leaders and claim the occasional win or we can fold and give up because it's not fair.
or
We can take the hand we have and play it to the fullest extent of our ability. Sometimes we may win and sometimes we may lose, but what ever happens we know that we have done the best we can. We can stand up at the end of the game and know that in every moment we took responsibility for our game play, we made the very best of everything we had and regardless of the finally tally we can claim that we played the very best game we could with the cards the dealer dealt us.

Personally I would rather be steering my own ship than floating on the sea of life like a piece of flotsam. Each one of us has the opportunity to take charge of our thoughts and harness our emotions to empower our lives.
