There’s no such thing as an even playing field

Imagine playing the game of life on an even playing field. That’s about all you can do—imagine it. The game of life will always be uneven despite our attempts to make it even. So, if you’re waiting for life to be fair in order to be happy or successful, you’ll wait for eternity.

Stop wasting time waiting for the playing field to be leveled—make it your goal to tilt it in your favor.

If you’re not satisfied with your life, it’s up to you to change it. Take advantage of every resource within your reach to improve your circumstances. The field on which we play the game of life will never be leveled, but it is dynamic. It can be tilted in any direction. And you have the power to tilt it in your direction. So why not use that power and do just that?
