Dealing with human beings is like playing a high stakes game of poker. As people, we do one of three things. We mask up,  with our game face as if we were  attending a masquerade all the while controlling the narrative and playing  games trying to earn the advantage while having a terrible hand to play.

We lay our hand of cards out on the table, with no caution not having a concern of losing just wanting to reveal that  I'm not the full householder.

Then there is the one that has the full house. This person has neither vulnerability or a poker face. They are, assured, of their win. Some would chop it up to vanity and conceit based upon that persons current standing in the game.

I can tell you from experience that if you are moving with no caution and laying all your cards on the table with everyone. You will forever lose. Your precious cargo of information should stay close to those who see your merit will and will never use your vulnerability as a way to demean or destroy you. However, you have to think and move strategically to protect yourselves from wolves. People with this personality find themselves giving over to other people's opinions and concerns and trying to change up for them.

Ladies, if you are a constant game player. Going through life not making heavyweight decisions, just playing with others mentally, and financially you are setting yourself up to receive the law reciprocity. What you put out and act out will be returned unto you. Try a hint of vulnerability and honesty!

But if you are the person who has the cards. Hold em until you can't. Play them at the right time and, don't let others see your hand. Protect the view but stay looking in all your blind spots to observe anyone's plus one seeking to learn of your upper hand. Stay the course. And practice never allowing others to see you sweating through a bad game.

As always I say

Write this down, make it a journal prompt,

Be Real and True eliminate games and lies for personal or professional gain, be honest and vulnerable but, yet don't give away all your plays. Earn and win with integrity. Taking something that never belonged to you will bring you frustration and tragedy. Play your full house always at the right time.
