The Game Is Rigged

“One of the HAPPIEST MOMENTS IN LIFE

IS WHEN YOU find the courage 

to LET GO OF WHAT YOU CAN’T CHANGE.”

Right now, as you are reading this, are you feeling frustrated wondering why is it that ‘I can’t seem to get ahead even though I bust my hump like most successful people?’ If yes, take a deep breath – it’s time for a little reflection. Every now and again it’s good to step away from everything to take time to reflect, for it can breathe new perspective and totally improve your outlook on life in general. I did just that this past weekend. After a good meaningful conversation with the hubby, I made peace with the fact that living in this world society is like playing poker with someone who has rigged the deck. You will never be able to beat someone like that, because the cards are stacked against you. It is the same with the way this world is setup. No matter how ambitious you are, or how hard you work, you will never have the same wealth or power or fame as those who control it. You may do better than most (at the cost of sacrificing the most important things in life), but in the end, the cards are stacked against you. Accepting the reality of that fact helps one to let go of what you can’t change and redirect one’s energy towards things that really matter, like spending quality time with your spouse, true friends, children, and most important – God, instead of expending energy to compete, trying to prove your worth to people who could care less about you just to acquire things that are fleeting. One of the happiest moments in life is being able to know your value without having to prove that to anyone else, especially in a day and age where most work so tirelessly to get ahead by making others feel less talented or less important than them. Always remember, the game is rigged.
