Life is a wild card or a “wild card” at best. What I mean is that the best opportunities are presented as seemingly worthless “wild cards” that look like work, but are actually great opportunities in the best disguises. When I think about my life, it really has been, opportunities always come dressed in work clothes “looking like a bum” and then end up being the biggest thing of all.

As I’m writing this article, I’m listening to Brian Tracy talk about the Law of Attraction on one of his shows that I bought a while ago. I totally agree with what he says on the show, but I would also like to say this: we must recognize opportunity in whatever form it presents itself, we must always be vigilant, that is quintessential mental nutrition in a positive sense. That also means we should embrace the “jokers” of chance more than the “aces” and “royal flushes” in life, although those more obvious cards may “look better” on the surface, some of the best opportunities to say so. . As William Clement Stone put it, the most horrible problems arise, and in them lie the best opportunities.

Most of my family, including my dad and only sister, have left Earth, except for my mother and a few other relatives, and I’m not married and not interested in having children. I bring this up so I don’t feel sorry for myself or anything, but I actually see all of this as a genuine opportunity to trust myself and the best “wild card” opportunity in life to turn everything around and make things work. for me instead of has a “deep responsibility”. I could “cry a tear into my beer about it” and genuinely feel sorry for myself. But instead I’m a “hardworking failure” who doesn’t drink, smoke, “party” or whatever. I really see opportunities in life and reality for what they are, when they come. Sure, sometimes I complain, but inside I always look for the deep good in everything, and I mean it. all. As they say in a game of poker, the worth anything joker could be anywhere and everywhere, so bluff your style and win the hand as the best chance ever. Who knows, could it be? After all, poker is a realistic game of grit, money management, and disciplined seeking and seizing of opportunities, and ultimately, such is life. I don’t mean dishonest, I mean honestly take the opportunity, manage it well and you’ll get to a great place.

Sometimes I mention an old 1983 movie called “Eddie and the Cruisers” and its sequel that came out in 1989. Eddie Wilson’s character, he said in a line in the first original movie and predicted the outcome of both the original movie and its sequel that showed what happened after Eddie Wilson’s character faked his death in the first film, that the paths of life and existence are different from each other, but not better than each other, and that is real and honest, but I would like to say this: genuine opportunity comes as a “wild card” which looks like work, it is not better than the “ace”, the “two pair” or the “royal flush”, just different. People lose and win all the time, whatever the hand. If played incorrectly, you lose, even if you have a winning hand. If played correctly, you win, even if you appear to have a losing hand. That being said: life is the deal, and reality is the deal. It doesn’t matter what you get in the deal, it’s how you play the whole game right or wrong. Thats the reality.
