There is a young man from my hometown who is a professional poker player. I have been watching him for awhile. He is doing really well and he is a nice guy to boot. He twitters things that I quite honestly don't understand when he is on a breaks during a game. I am learning a few things already.
One of the things I have witnessed is when the players go all in. They bet all their chips on a pot and go for broke. They are confident in the cards they have and they bet the farm..or their piece of the farm that is stacked in front of them. They bet it all and watch the other cards get played. They are either big winners or they walk away with nothing. But they take the chance...they go all in.
That takes confidence. A belief in what they are doing.
That's what I am doing. I am, over the next ten days, going all in. I will do everything I can to move past these obstacles that have been sitting squarely in front of me. I am going all in.
The obstacles are financial and some resources I need to accomplish what I say I want. I believe in what I am doing. But these obstacles are squarely in my path. They keep me awake at night worrying about them and then make me think it would be better not to wake up. It has become such a way of life for me these past few weeks that I am simply exhausted by it. The time to shift is now.
So I am going all in. I am pushing all my cards into the middle of the table over the next ten days and let the hand be played. I will let you know as I go through these ten days what I am doing and the results.
I doubt I have ever played a more important hand. My intent is to win. And I believe that is more than half the battle...
