Imagine a deck of cards, stacked and face down. There's 52 of them, including the 4 Aces. You flip one card over at a time. Knowing there are 4 of each number, and the 2's are the low numbers and the Aces are the ones you really really want. Now, do you know which card you are about to turn over? Nope. Do you get excited, or even fearful, that the next card will be a 2? a 3? or even the Ace?
Isn't that what life is like? You never know what you're going to get, including the Ace.
We keep flipping the cards, one at a time, patiently. It might be a series of low number cards, like 10 or 12 or 20 in a row. Do you give up? Or do you keep flipping the cards?
The choice is yours.
Even deeper, what happens when you do turn over the card and see an Ace? Do you stop flipping the rest of the cards? Do you celebrate, obsess, or quit after you get the Ace? Or do you continue to flip the cards for another Ace?
The choice is yours.
How you flip the cards, the time it takes, your energy, passion, integrity, focus, and your intention with each card -- well it tells a lot about you and the way you flip, or manage or handle, life.
How you do one thing, is how you do everything.
So keep flipping. Be excited. Be engaged. And know that every card deserves to be seen. The Aces will come, as long as you are an Ace.
