I have always maintained though that it's several hands. Some of the hands are shit, some are brilliant, some are mediocre, some you curse, some you praise. Sometimes, you are handed them in big punches. Sometimes you think "why am I playing this game"? Sometimes you think "this game is fucking awesome!". But it's not the hands you are dealt - it's how you play them. That is what makes all the difference. How you play the hands shapes you as a person - it's like each hand chisels you into something different. If you are a "woe is me" person in times of misfortune, you create a "woe is me" incisions. If you are a greedy person in times of fortune, you create greedy incisions. Each experience is a chance for your soul to melt a little and for you to form it, based on how you react. You've been given lots of chances this year - and given the hands you have been dealt, you have moulded yourself quite remarkably. Don't stop what you are doing, don't lose focus, and keep your ear close to your heart - it doesnt lie. Its a common phrase that everyone is dealt a hand of cards in life.
