Living in Awareness – Day 3

Life Is A Game

Throughout the last decade of life coaching all different types of clients, I have introduced this concept to every one of them. Some people got it right off the bat, whereas others saw life as something to take very seriously. Those people looked at life seriously, and took themselves very seriously as well. Encapsulated in that seriousness are the reasons they began to work with me in the first place. The idea of something being serious sets up a different playing field compared to someone that is being sincere in their choices and actions. When someone is sincere, they are genuinely answering the call of the moment, and they are not engaged in the normal power and control games of the mind. When someone is taking life seriously, they believe something is dire or critical. In that moment, they believe something is significant, or at least worth worrying about. The moment you take life seriously, all the fun is immediately raped out of the present moment, and any moment to come.

Yes, life is a game, and there are many types of games you can play. There are games that you can either win or lose, or there are games that you can play just because they are fun to play. There is nothing wrong with winning or losing, but when you play those types of games, there is more at stake. With those types of games, someone has to win, and someone has to lose. There is nothing inside of me that has led me to see life being that type of game. In the game of life, there are no losers; everyone who plays wins.
