Spaere Vivere

Fooled by Randomness was an excellent read. It was entertaining and connected stories from history to the present. The book ends with a fabulous piece of literature. "The only article Lady Fortuna has no control over is your behavior. Good luck." It reminds me that I might not possibly have that much control over my poker career, maybe the tables will be infested with sharks within a few years, or maybe I'm not who I think I am, or maybe UIEGA is the end of the world piece of legislation for "online gambling." The only thing I can control is how I personally react to all these things. At the end of the day, I know luck plays a part in everything, but I know my will to prepare to win will also play a role in will I achieve my dreams. Even after my will to prepare to win, my acceptance of what things are will ultimately determine if I "make it or not." If I don't make it, but I had the time of my life, then that's worth more than any amount won at the tables. When I step back and think about my life, I can see how lucky I am to be doing any of the things I do at this particular time at this particular place in space. Realizing what it is, I just grin and know I've already won.
