Is it Enough to Do Our Best to Deal with the
'Hand of
Cards' We've Been Dealt?
'Hand of
Cards' We've Been Dealt?
Who said life was fair? It isn't, within its
"blow-by-blow" unfolding events It doesn't take
a rocket scientist, as the saying goes, to figure out through simply
looking
around and noting accordingly that for many people – maybe for everyone –
life
isn't fair.

In the movie Lord of the Rings the wizard
Gandalf offers the following advice to the hero Frodo's
comment that strongly implies life isn't fair: All we
can do is deal the best we can with the hand of cards we've been
dealt. The key question that then comes to my mind is, Is
this,
then, enough?

Let Be and Let Go to Surrender to Your Own
Place of
Greater Becoming

Here is my Centering exercise to be able to
transcend the
understandable despair and hopelessness you feel when life has dealt you
a hard
blow which really isn't fair. It focuses on being able to get a clear
look
on the "hand of cards you were dealt" and allow this focus to transcend
and
empower you from a place of faith in yourself, as the whole person that
you're
becoming.

Settle back, then, in a comfortable, supported
position where
your spine is aligned, close your eyes, and allow your breath to
deepen.
Count to yourself ten full, deep easy breaths. As you inhale, say to
yourself this phrase, I let be. As you exhale, say to yourself
position where
your spine is aligned, close your eyes, and allow your breath to
deepen.

Then ask yourself in this deeply reflective place
you're found
your way to, this question, What is the hand of cards I've been
dealt
in my life? How does this hand of cards look now? Imagine you
can see your own "hand", and focus centrally on each card that you
imagine
placing before you. See it, hear its message, allow it to touch you,
smell
it through all your inner senses. Then open your eyes and
record your experience.

your
life isn't fair. Hold this focus until you have a sense that feels like
a
sense of completion for now.

being
completely honest with yourself and how to rightly communicate with
others.
