How You Play The Game

In the game of life, heredity deals the hand, and society makes the rules; but you can still play your own cards. – Peter’s Almanac

Never forget that. There are too many “victims” in this world, people who insist that the world is out to get them, or that the world is holding them down or back, or that the world owes them something because of all that they’ve had to go through.

The world doesn’t owe you anything. You are alive in this world full of opportunities. That’s all it owes you, and that’s all its going to give you.

The world is not out to get you. You’re just not that important to the entire world. I assure you that there are billions of people on this planet that have no idea who you even are.

The world is not holding you down or back, not nearly as much as your own attitude is.

If you’re not getting what you want, then change the way you play. You can’t change your cards. You might be able to change the rules. But the only way you can do that is to play the game.
