Throughout life we often have constraints
imposed upon us. Some rules bring order to chaos while others allow
chaos to flourish. It is our behaviour within these simple constraints
that defines our character.
In this game, as in life, the cards we
are dealt usually allow us to do extraordinary things when we know how
to use them. Also different opportunities and more power become available
to us as time goes by. How we use the powers we have depends on what
it is that we wish to achieve and our actions can be quite revealing,
even to ourselves!
What
are your True Colours?
What do you do with the cards you are
dealt? Do you hold them close, stockpiling precious resources for later
use? Do you confidently use what you have according to a plan or boldly
take risks? Are you sly and cunning or open and honest in getting what
you want?
Playing our cards invariably
affects others, especially if there is a common goal. Playing a card may
benefit you enormously but it may also adversely effect someone else by
playing it? Do you care or would you do anything to win? A played card
doesn’t always provide the result we expect either. What do you
do when your plans quickly fall apart? What do you do if others gang up
against you?
Maybe you can convince others
to assist you in your endeavours. Do you openly canvas others and form
alliances, even teams, in an effort to win? You can only ever play your
own cards in life but that does not stop you trying to persuade others
how to play theirs.
Some people bluff and mislead
others in order to achieve their objectives. Do white lies and deals with
others pave your road to success or are you always sincere, doing only
what you have to do to win? Who can you trust? Can you be trusted? If
you want to escape Conflict you can often use your powers to reposition
yourself relative to others who claim they will leave you alone and not
start Conflict when you do so. Can you trust them? Can people trust you
not to take advantage of them if they ask you the same favour? Some people
must win at any cost. Are you one of them?
There are many things that
you can do that may ingratiate you to others or infuriate them. What will
you do in order to win? Maybe you don’t want to win yourself at
all but merely want to help or even stop someone else doing so. What character
will you reveal?
