Amazing.

Today I was reminded of how truly surprising and amazing Life can be. I felt it was necessary to chronicle some of its events in order to keep a record that will serve as a reminder.

Tomorrow, I have an audition for a commercial for Full Tilt Poker. Naturally, I feel confident and excited about this opportunity. I feel I have an advantage due to the fact that I've been exposed to poker at an early age as a result of my brother's interest in it, which in turn has had a huge impact on me. Because of my familiarity, I feel comfortable with poker. And naturally, with comfort, comes forth confidence.

I still decided to contact my brother concerning the audition so that he could answer my questions and give me any extra information that may be beneficial for my audition. He ended the brief phone call by telling me that Full Tilt only sponsors well established professional poker players. I hung up after parking my car in my driveway and immediately noticed two people circling my house, obviously interested in the newly vacant space downstairs. At first I was wary of their presence; I was tired and wanted to take a nap prior to my work shift. However, they approached me while I was advancing towards my house and I engaged in a lively conversation with the couple about the property and their interest in it. After a brief conversation, I found out they currently live in Las Vegas and are professional poker players. I informed them of my impending audition, and lo and behold, the woman I was speaking to is a fully sponsored professional poker player for Full Tilt.

WHAT?!

Yes. That happened.

As much as I believe in "The Secret" and "The Power" and the theories that are behind this phenomenon, of course, I have my skepticism as well. But how could I deny their existence when a situation like this happens? I really can't. Just. Wow.

Not only was this a crazy "coincidence", but a confidence booster as well. The man sincerely expressed his belief many times that I was going to do something "big". He said he could feel it in my energy.

To be honest, I don't know what kind of energy I am exuding, but on several occasions of late, other people have told me they have felt it too. I still can't pinpoint exactly where it is coming from, but I hope to continue to shine as bright as I can for as long as God allows me to.

God is Great. Life is Amazing. And so it goes.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
