Can't Change The Cards We're Dealt

Can't Change The Cards We're Dealt

To say we Can't Change The Cards We're Dealt is simply stating the obvious.  Problem is, many of us are still unaware of this GIVEN.  Fact is, we'll say we Can't Change The Cards We're Dealt is because that's where the balance between LUCK and SKILL in life comes into the equation.  We CAN'T control how fortunate we are, but we can use all the resources at our disposal to the best of our ability💎💎💎

That is WHAT IT IS.  We CAN'T change it.  We just have to decide how we'll respond, how we'll play our 'cards in life'.  Translating this in real life, this means there are many things that happen to us in life that are completely OUT of our CONTROL. Truth, is, we DIDN'T do anything to cause any of those circumstances.  We are then handed quite a metaphorical hand of cards over and over as we go through our life💊💊💊

And it's true, every once in a while, we do strike LUCK and even find ourselves with the ROYAL FLUSH of cards, that highest deck in poker.  Indeed, it is so easy to ignore that RANDOM LUCK involved in our lives when things are going well and when we get to cash in on those JACKPOTS in life.  But more often, we find ourselves staring at a red two and a black seven, and there doesn't seem to be much that we can do with that metaphorical cards that the card dealer handed us📌📌📌

Getting an analogy with health itself, when someone gets diagnosed with cancer, that person DIDN'T do anything to cause that cancer.  It is just a phenomenally bad hand of cards.  Instead, our focus should shift towards taking a 'BAD HAND' and turning and turning it to something positive.  Some heartwarming stories of cancer survivors tell us that they could have holed up in their homes and just waited to die but instead, they decided to live their BEST LIFE ever and maintain an incredibly optimistic attitude for whatever time is remaining✅✅✅

So what's our FIX for this?  #1, leverage on what you have at hand.  That is NO time to sulk or for self-pity.  I had multiple situations in my past when my deck of cards was 'near rubbish' but hell, i told myself that I could be 'BETTER OFF'  than that card player across the table because, who knows, if my deck is 'near rubbish-like', his is 'absolutely rubbish-like'?  Worst thing is when you end up like this dog NOT knowing what he's doing.  Just keep tab of that fact that we CAN'T CHANGE THE CARDS WE'RE DEALT❗❗❗
