Life is a Game

Are you open to playing the game of life freely, or do you have a strategy? When a new day is born, it is the same as opening a brand new game box that you have never played before. This is a game that you can choose to play with enthusiasm. As you prepare the pieces of the game what state of energy are you in? Preparing for game day is much like preparing your tea or coffee, taking a shower, and getting the children ready for school.  You can decide which players, or qualities of the heart, you would like to connect with throughout the day. I like to feel this is like a game of Chutes and Ladders (for its Wonder) mixed with a little bit of Dungeons and Dragons (for its practice with envisioning and creating) and Chess (not for its strategy, but for its pieces that are certain to behave in reliable ways).

After the preparatory phase you invite people to play this game with you, either consciously or not. Each person and experience that makes its way into your awareness is playing the game of life with you! Isn’t that really fun when you play this way?

When the game of life is taken seriously, there are limits and contractions that show themselves. Of course, in this game of life we are not always laughing, but it certainly can be light.

Each inspired action we take during the day is also part of the game with its own chute or ladder up ahead. It can be fun to slide down a chute, and also incredible to see the sights from the heights of the ladder. Each experience and player you meet will be impacted by the way you move. You are that powerful. You have everything inside to create a light, peaceful, and harmonious day. How will you play the game of your miraculous life today?
