“The Power to Succeed”

Thursday, October 7th, 2010

It’s amazing how we fool ourselves… while at the same time believing we are doing what’s best.

Let me give you an example. I overheard a guy telling a group of friends, over drinks, how he had become fed-up with work. Guys being guys, they immediately started to come up with options to fix the problem – ideas like changing company and changing jobs. That was when the guy got all logical…

‘Yeah, but I need to pay the mortgage and my kid’s education and we’ve got a holiday planned for the Bahamas and…’

I interrupted. ‘How much do you need?’

‘A hundred grand a year,’ he replied.

‘What’s more important,’ I asked, ‘your happiness or the money?’

Of course he said happiness. Then he got all logical again. ‘But I can’t be happy unless I can pay the mortgage and give my kids the best and have great holidays.’

‘How many hours do you work?’

‘Around fifty.’

‘And how do you feel when you get home?’

‘Tired.’

‘What would your kids prefer, a father who is worn out for forty eight weeks of the year but has four weeks to entertain them per year or a dad who is a real Dad all year round?’

The conversation went on, me questioning, him justifying what he perceived as logic.

Yet it’s not logic, is it? It’s not logic to deny your heart’s desire to change life when it’s hurting you. The mortgage, the kid’s education, the holidays are just stuff. And, like most people find after a heart attack or a divorce or an accident, is that this ‘stuff’ is not that important. What’s important is something else…

Life!

The problem is we got “Conditioned Logic” – “logic” transferred to us by society: friends, family, schools, college, the media, religion etc. We took it all on and felt we had to behave in a “conditioned” way. The repetition of that conditioning is fine for a while, but when we end up doing something we don’t love, each time we do it takes a little of the soul away. Let me put it another way.

What gives you the power to succeed is what you perceive to be logic. Real power is not necessarily doing what society dictates. Real power is often something else. It is that knowing that comes from nowhere to tell you, you must do something different.

It might seem logical to have the house, the car, the private education, the holiday, but is it powerful. What is powerful is, to say I am not happy and things must change; I’m not killing myself for forty-eight weeks just for four weeks of pleasure; I’m not excited by my work and I’m willing to live in a smaller home if it means I can have more peace, less stress and fall back in love with my partner.

It’s not all about the stuff, is it? It’s about happiness and love; happiness and love of your partner; happiness and love of your children and family; happiness and love of your work. If you have that then you have it all.

Now that’s the power to succeed!

Does your current way of living support that?

Really fun

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

You can actually show how creative you are in terms of designing your place and clothing your avatar, and pets. I actually have accounts in different on-line games, but now because I am busy, I can’t open all of those. But I miss the feeling of happiness I feel when playing casino online games. I am not contented on playing just casinos. I even want those online gambling games that are really fun.

Another day to play

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010

It was only a few years ago that I was first introduced to the game of No-Limit Texas Hold ‘Em. While I had been a poker player since the day my grandfather first shoved a deck of cards in front of me, I didn’t become familiar with the wonderful game of No-Limit Hold ‘Em until pretty late in my poker-playing life.
Once I started playing No-Limit Hold ‘Em, there was no turning back. This was the poker game I had been looking for my entire life. While a lifetime of playing poker made it easy to jump in and understand No-Limit Hold ‘Em, it was the complexities and the nuances of the game that kept me coming back. For the first time in my life I found myself reading poker strategy books, looking to the masters of the game to elevate my strategy and simultaneously entertain me with poker stories.
There was something about No-Limit Hold ‘Em that clicked with me as no other game ever had. Something about the two cards you’re dealt at the start of each hand; the community cards that all the players share to build the best hand; the strategy, both In the cards and in the players; and the unavoidable factor of luck all combined to paint a picture that just made sense to me. It all seemed so familiar. It was a game I felt naturally at ease playing, as if I had been playing it my whole life. In many ways, that feeling wasn’t far off the mark.

I play again

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Go to an average No-Limit Hold ‘Em tournament anywhere in this country and you will invariably find a large number of amateurs playing against a small number of professional poker players. Before the tournament begins, while looking at the list of hundreds of unknowns on the tournament roster, the professionals will often comment that there is a lot of “dead money” in the tournament. What they mean by this phrase, as condescending as it may sound, is that aside from the professionals, everyone else who paid the entry fee for the tournament has simply done nothing but swell the prize purse with little or no chance of winning any of it for themselves. Before the tournament has even begun, their money is considered “dead.”
‘While this is not always true across the board, the majority of the time it is the professional poker players who end up at the final table of any given tournament. I quote Mall Damon from the movie Rounders when I say, “Why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker every year? ‘What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas?”

Playing that was enjoyable

Monday, November 2nd, 2009

Once I was comfortable playing with the high cards, he added the rest of the deck all at once. Once I understood five-card stud, we moved on to seven-card stud. In no time at all we were playing a handful of different poker games for the pennies and nickels we’d find in the couch. My grandfather understood that the key to success was to make every task simple and fun. It was the application of this very idea that has made all the difference in my life and in my career.
The process of finding the fun in everything you do is how I fell in love with cards and, later in life, how I fell in love with business. My grandfather took this big game called poker and simplified it so even my four-year-old mind could understand it. Getting comfortable with the basics is the first step to enjoying the game and therefore the first step to being successful at the game.

The poker that I play

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

I was seven years old when my grandfather taught me and my cousin how to play poker. Before we sat down to play when we do visit his place every summer, he would take all of the low cards out of the deck, leaving only the ten through ace of each suit.
Each hand my grandfather dealt me was bright and colorful, filled with pictures of fantastical kings, queens, jacks, and the very recognizable first letter of the alphabet. Each hand I was dealt was a monster hand, but my grandfather’s hands were just as strong. I soon learned that two queens beat two jacks, that five cards in a row formed a straight, and that, for reasons completely unknown to me, three aces were somehow better than two aces and two kings.
Although poker would eventually prove to be a complex game, demanding years of practice and dedication, my first experiences with the game were simple. More importantly, they were fun. My grandfather knew that to overwhelm me at a young age with all of the intricacies and subtleties of poker would impede any initial enjoyment I might get out of the game. You have to crawl before you can run.
