He gave a cool analogy of playing poker with people. If everyone showed their hands to everyone in the game, there would be no point in playing! How boring and uneventful that would be.
And the truth is that is the same with life. If you knew how everything was going to turn out (in a more specific form than 'things are always working out for you' which they are by the way), then what would be the point of being here? You came for the adventure, the unknown, the expansion of all that you are. You came to interact with those who are easy to love and you came for the growth that those who 'challenge' you would offer- not least of all because it's really got nothing to do with them out there but more about what it reflects to us about us (now there's some food for thought!).
You wanted the challenge of 'playing' those who would extract from you more than you thought you would be able to give. The professional sports person doesn't want to play a child or adult whom they'll beat every time, how dull! Instead they want to play with those who will give them a run for their money. Aren't the most thrilling matches against two equally skilled opponents where every point matters? What fun!
So chillout and relax, have fun in the ease as much as the bumps.
All is truly well!!!
Happy poker-ing!!!
Lots of love, Nick Xxx
