Know When To Hold ‘Em, Know When To Fold ‘Em

When taking what you view as a gamble,
it is important that you realize when things have run their course,
and the opportunity has passed.

Once you’ve laid all your chips on the table,
and they start to disappear, much to your chagrin,
Gather what is left , and walk away.
Don’t stay past that point of no returns.

If your ego lets you fold ’em,
you can leave the table with some dignity intact,
and use what is left to start anew.

If you wait, expecting your luck to change,
and you lose it all,
you will feel the greatest humiliation,
for not having the good sense to walk away when you saw
the writing on the wall…

Loosing everything is a huge learning opportunity,
but you can spare yourself the layers of anger
and distrust of your instincts,
when you just listen closely to the whisper, that tells you
All along the way , just to fold ’em.
