Playing the Cards Dealt to You

Working with what’s given to you. A simple but vital concept for achieving the progress we desire.

Few of us have the luxury of having everything we want or everything we feel we need to achieve the next level. Whether it’s financial independence, career satisfaction, or relational depth, embracing this perspective is key to what we seek.

Developing the mindset to play the cards dealt to us, doing so to the best of our ability, while making the most of what we can, where we are right now – it’s all an attitude we determine.

We may not have control of the circumstances that come our way, but we certainly have control of how we react to them.

People who succeed are those who have determined not to make excuses as to why they can’t move forward in life.

It’s important to be deeply grateful for what we have here and now… while also pushing ahead to where we want to be. Both mindsets can co-exist. There is no tension in the embracing of both thoughts: gratitude for where we are, with determination to move forward.

Each of us possess the power to make progress or make excuses why we can’t. The choice will always be ours, and ours alone.

Which will you chose?
