Life and Cards

By: Jhasmal Hardyway (View Profile)

Life is like a card game.

With every pick of a new card you have a chance to win. To win the game you must be willing to take risks. Without taking risks your chances of winning are slim. You have no idea of what card awaits you. You’re excited because you know the different types of cards available in the deck. If you pick a card that is unusable you become disappointed. The disappointment only lasts until the next game is started.

You only feel the pain temporarily; life is the same way.

If you are willing to keep playing you will eventually win. You may not find success within the same day. Success may not come until you play the game on an entirely different day.

You have to be willing to keep playing.

If you don’t play you cannot win.

Many people don’t like to lose. After they experience a loss they refuse to play the game again.  This is true for individuals in real life. They experience one heartache and they refuse to push themselves forward. They must continue to strive for greatness or be left behind.

Success cannot be achieved until obstacles are concurred and fear becomes manageable.

Exactly Jhasmal, success is best appreciated when there have been obstacles overcome to get there.
