Say it like you mean it contest

I would like to win the generous offer but,, I find it hard alot of times to instill confidence in myself so doing it for others is easier in some ways and not in others. I generally like to wish people here good luck in there games even though I am not in the BAP or have any stake in it. I think people like to hear it since there being watched by alot of people rather than just a risk of there own money. I think its very easy to tell a little kid you can do it and clap they get all excited and smile even if they suck at a sport or whatever positive reinforcement goes along way. I think as an adult either your confident or your not. 50 people can tell you your a great poker player but if the individual doesnt feel it it wont ever happen. were born alone we die alone and if a person needs others to make them feel worthy then there in for alot of disapointment.

Just a question, is it possible to have this prize redeemed for another game? I have class and won't be able to play in the game tonight, but I will in a future game. Either way I will think of something to write here later, as it has been very encouraging to me to read other posts here! You should write something too, I think. And make NDN do one, he's too quiet sometimes.

Pokerkitty is the front runner
Thanks for that, it was a beautiful story.
Tay you can win 500 chips to do what you want to with.
Markfixit, you do inspire me with your calm spirit and don't think we don't notice. You hit it on the nose about being able to love yourself
is more important than getting approval from others.
But it sure feels good when you get it.

Inspiration, hmmmm.....


Something I personally havent had too much of lately. Inspiration is not something that you try to get, by reading self help books, or something that can be done by going to the shrink. Inspiration just kinda comes to you, like a faint wind on a still day, or a good friend you havent seen in a long time. Somw things that I have found that trigger Inspiration is here, at NDN!, going on a fishing trip to get away from everything, accomplishing something that you have been meaning or wanting to accomplish.

I can find Inspiration just by reading or hearing the life stories of others. In poker inspiration can come just by watching my favorite player, phil ivey, at the ivey thunderdome.

Inspiration is not something that you can reach out and grab with your hands at will, and use when needed. If anything, its a kind spirit, waiting for that right moment, when your heart is ready, then you join hands, and you feel it, and it is one of the best feelings in the world.

I wont be able to play in 2nites game...but wanted to share this anyway (as I think its cute yet funny)
My son is 2 1/2 and we have been trying to learn the whole pee-pee on the potty thing,but to say the least it has been a long uphill battle. We have tried everything in the form of bribery from toys to M&M'S to trips to the playground and still nothing but we still tell him good boy for trying. Im beginning to think he will be in pull-ups forever. So in hope of lifting his spirits even more the other day (he does speak and understand by the way) I said its alright lil' man b4 you know you will be playing at a final table on a big $tourney online and hauling as$ outside and peeing off the deck as fast as you possibly can to assure you dont miss the next deal that may be pocket A's.
I believe he is NOW inspired!

Someone else can win this.

My inspiration ran dry after exceedingly being ill.

Long live the world!
