A Changing Perception

I like to think of myself as a deck of cards. As I go through life I can play these cards when I need them. We all have our strong cards and our week cards. Some cards we have we never play and we just keep them to ourselves. Maybe those cards are weak by nature or just perceived to be weak by our own insecurities. Sometimes we realize our strongest card still bends and folds like our weaker cards. But when you group all your cards together you realize that everyone has the same cards in their deck.

The point is no one is more advantaged in this card game than you. Some have played their cards better some have not. But we all hold in our deck the possibility for greatness. What ever that may mean. It’s our job to keep moving. Keep playing our cards until we make the perfect full house, or the perfect Royal Flush. It’s possible. I promise you.

The most important thing to remember is that you are not just one or two of your cards. Sometimes we limit the hands we show. You’re made up of a whole deck cards. Everyone has their Ace of Spades and everyone has their Two of Clubs. You are a well rounded person and if you ever feel like you are inferior to someone remember that they have the same number of cards you do. You are just as special.

I want everyone today to pick a card you normally don’t use and share it with a friend. It could be a small secret or a whole side of you that you’ve never shown. You see the best way that you’re going to find your winning hand is play your whole deck. The more you open up to people the more they’ll open up to you. Each one of your cards is special and your great because of it. Never let anyone make you feel like you don’t have the winning hand. It’s all there in your own Deck of Cards. Share with me your stories.

With Passion,
