In a world where everything is oversaturated and there is a lot of competition for attention, how can an artist, stay true to their inner voice and not be in comparison, but also be willing to collaborate, and see success in others, and be OK with it?
I think by staying out of it; by not participating in that game, that is someone else’s game. I would suggest that you play your own game. When you’re playing poker, you can’t just play any cards: you play your hand, based on the cards you’ve been dealt. If you embrace your part, it’s your best chance of being true to yourself.

The Past Does Not Matter
Your past work culture, expectations and even your prior performance do not matter in the present moment.
In Poker, new outcomes, and surprises in the current keep happening in the game of cards, and the past cards dealt cannot influence that. What matters is how you act now.
Enjoy The Game
Life is a game of poker, and works best when not taken too seriously.
Your career should be something you enjoy doing. It is good to keep the eye on the ball while enjoying the game, playing in the right spirit.
Bad Situations Are Okay
It’s not the end of the world if a poker player has a set of bad cards, as any bad situation can change with new cards and the skillful playing of the game. In the corporate world, good or bad situations change quickly. Being the weakest in the team does not mean you cannot reach to the top.
