Play with the Hand You're Dealt

How fabulous that we can learn life lessons as we enjoy card games!  Some similarities
 include:

  • life and cards are actually played one hand (day) at time - plan ahead, but live in the present
  • keeping score allows us to track progress - goals motivate accomplishments
  • losing one or more hands doesn't mean that we might not be the ultimate winner - don't give up
  • do-overs are easier in cards than life, but one is never granted without a request - ask for what we want
  • we don't know others' hands (agendas, motives, skills, ambitions) - play to our strengths and show our cards one interaction at a time
  • winning is fun, but many games well played make life wonderful, regardless of the winner
  • rules are boundaries - when desired, create a new game
  • fun is a-ok regardless of how busy we are!
