Hang on for this as you may be calling my hand assuming a bluff. How can a bad hand be good? Well life is filled with all kinds of cards, right? They can be good, bad or mediocre. Do we learn anything from a bad hand of life cards? Is there a reward for a bad hand?

Bad hands shape who we have become. They have made us wiser when dealt similar hands. We change our reactions and strategies because of the wisdom from these bad hand experiences. Without life’s suffering we would not be honed into better life players. We would not be shaped into a higher perspective towards life, the true reward, of how a bad hand can be seen as good.

If whatever you are dealt in life is seen with neutrality (better than good), then when you receive a card it will neither lead to aversion/reactivity nor desire/craving for the next win. This higher, new perspective turns suffering into opportunity.
