The games we have become familiar, and striven to compete. Yet the subtlety of gaining position is harder to achieve. We can never fully embrace that moment of success...from the outset it is a male-dominated leaning we sadly fail to address. No matter how we try, we cannot assimilate. On principle we are not one of them. Lotte Roy
About This Quote

We are all familiar with the idea of playing games. We all know that it can be an enjoyable experience, one that helps us to grow and develop by challenging ourselves. However, what many fail to realize is that there is a different type of game that can be played, one that is almost impossible to win. The game that we play is often based on the same principles as the games we are familiar with.

The difference is that everyone who plays this new game knows exactly what they are doing. They understand how the game works and do not take any undue risks. This new game is played with subtlety; sometimes even hidden from ourselves, but it has an effect on everyone who plays it.

They want to be like the people who play the game, but they never know how to get started.
