How do you play the game?
The way you play the game of life isn’t something you can just answer - there is no power or information in answering the question willy nilly.
The power for each one of us is in the noticing.
It’s a quiet sort of noticing - as though we step into the observer role and watch our reactions to life (in and out of work). 🧘♂️
Listen to the voices in your head and the stories they tell you to buy into. Which ones do you believe? Which ones do you allow to dictate your next move? Which ones are shaping your current outcomes?
Because most of the time we humans make up the stories about the way life IS. What if there are other possibilities than the story we have made up? (ex: I'm not qualified; I'm not smart enough, thin enough, lovable enough; I'm smarter than that person; I can't do it; they must think I'm 'X'; they are a jerk; they don't like me; I'm too busy...)
When we become adept at this noticing, we also notice new possibilities well beyond the easy or obvious; well beyond the story usually constructed by circumstance, and validated as we see the world through a lens of seeking evidence (so that we can also be right). An endless number of possibilities. New choices. New moves. New results. The world opens up to us and becomes lighter, easier in many ways.
Because you see, YOU are not the voice in your head. You are not the moves you make. You ARE the observer in the driver’s seat of your life. And you get to choose the storyline that drives toward the results you want to create.
And really, anything is possible. 🚀
💪 Exercise this muscle: As you move through your day, begin to notice the stories you tell yourself. Consider that whatever the story is, it's not good or bad, and it's not right or wrong. It just is. How are your stories based on reality, circumstance, or just a lifetime of reinforcement? What are some other possibilities?
