OBS! This is not Sir P. He was just a creation.
Your soul and consciousness is expanding and I can feel it across the Atlantic, all the way to Norway.
Playing poker quite a lot for a little more than a year (10 hours a week) has made me realize the importance of maintaining healthy relationships and enjoy life and all its obstacles.
After having chronical tendonitis for years all over my legs I had to quit an aspiring soccer carreer at the age of 16, and after trying out athletics for some years my joints was nearly ruined. 3 years of active physioterapy made me healthy again. I started bodybuilding and worked my ass of for 7 months/2hours a day. I gained 40 pounds of muscle, just to get chronically ill again. A stomach disease stopped me from eating and I lost more than 50 pounds of weight the following 6 months. After a year of this disease, I slowly build my physicue back and started running track again. After 4 training sessions I tore my achilles apart and could not walk for 6 months. Now I am yet again busy getting back in shape.
Through all of lifes obstacles I feel that the Universe is guiding me on a better path. I am now 100 % ready to finish my studies as Lecturer in Philosophy, History and Religion, and spread knowledge, enthusiasm and love to the next generation in order to help humanity trancend sorrow, fear and ignorance.
Investing in poker was very troublesome for me. I knew in my heart that playing online poker was not the most effective way for me to spread Universal love, but hearing that you intend to use winnings on charity made me feel good.
Having a balanced life, and to make poker fit into that healthy schedule is no easy task. You seem to have struck a lovely harmony between poker and life and I salut you for that. I am too obsessive about all my endevours and find that when I am into something- like poker, I spend all my waking/dreaming time thinking about previous hands and perfecting my strategies versus players I have met. I have probably spent around 3 or 4 times as much time on thinking about poker than actually playing it.
Since I cannot seem to fit poker into my life without compromising my experience of life, I have decided to quit poker. This is not a sad moment, because I have had a lot of fun in trying to perfect my game, but at the same time robbing lessser humans for their money is not something that gives me joy.
May your investments pay off in terms of healthy relationships, abundance, joy and happiness.
Happy 4th of July!
