Roll the Dice
A Poem on Dealing with Uncertainty
No, no, no, I'm not asking anyone to pack a suitcase for a trip to Vegas. What I AM doing is suggesting that everyone has periods of uncertainty. You feel dragged out of your comfort zone and anxious because you've no idea what is to happen next.
Life has a frustrating tendency to throw us into situations that we know nothing about and have no control over. These put us in situations in which one has to manage uncertainties - take a gamble, do our best, and hope for the best.
Happily, there are ways that can help us roll the dice with less fear of getting burned. Let's think positive, be realistic, focus on what we can control and practice a little flexibility when we're thrown into the deep end.
Enjoy these cinquains.
Roll dice
When stakes are high
Have in mind large number
A number you can work towards
And throw
Roll dice
Controllable
Twist the arm a little
Do adjust the chips a little
And throw.
