Are you playing the game of life?

“Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt is determinism; the way you play it is free will.” — Jawaharlal Nehru

I am sure you have heard the expression, “The game of Life.” Well when you look at life as a game it could make it easier to mold your life into the ultimate healthy lifestyle.

Man is dual in nature. He is material and spiritual. Look at it this way. You have an automobile and when you want to go someplace you get in and drive to your destination. The human body has sometimes been referred to as your vehicle through life. You as spirit at birth got into your vehicle to travel through life.

Just as you control the direction of your automobile, you as spirit control your direction in life. For the best outcome you must become proactive in that directing. What do I mean? Well, as in any game the way to get good is to practice. So you practice the game of life.

First you decide what you want your life to be. Then you practice by pretending that your life is already as you want it to be. Ask yourself how you would think, act and feel if you lived your ideal life. Then each day spend some time seeing yourself in your minds eye acting, feeling and thinking as you would when you have accomplished your goals.

There is a technique called scripting that may be helpful. Write a scene of your life as it would be if you were living your dream life. Then go over that scene each day for at least 10 to 15 minutes

If you repeat it enough you will believe it and it can become your reality. A word of caution, The difference between a dream and a fantasy is that with a dream you can put together a workable plan on how to accomplish it and with a fantasy you cannot. So, if you cannot form a plan to make it happen let it go because it is only wishful thinking and a waste of time.

TODAY’S TIP: Spend as much time as you can during the day going over your script, with feeling and emotion. The stronger the vision becomes the nearer is is to becoming a part of your reality.

Life is what you make it. What do you want yours to be?
