Just Dealing the Hand I was Dealt

It is easy to look at others and think
If I was that, had that,
then
I would surely be
that!

What is true however. In the journey of
manifesting our destiny
We must deal the hand we were given.

That is the perfect hand.
There is no other that will be easier, more clear- for
each hand has it’s own struggle.

We are in this
together, on the same path of learning to live.

Each of us facing the ups and downs, the
exhilaration, the despair, the triumph the defeat.

T’is the Way we roll with the dice that
determines the Destiny.

The memories, the
learnings that are left in the Heart when the deal is done.
