thoughts to ponder

i came across these lines from a book im currently reading:

"that is why it is so important to let certain things go. to release them. to cut loose. people need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. dont expect to get anything back, dont expect recognition of your efforts, dont expect genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. complete the circle. not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. stop being who you were and become who you are."

for those who feel that life has been treating you badly, take this as a challenge!
