The game of life can be fun to play, but you have to jump in and make a move. Even the smallest action item is good. But you have an opponent. The biggest challenger in your life, is your mind. Life is not “against” you, yet many believe it is. The universe is actually on your team. The universe is here to help you make your next move, but it won’t initiate it for you. That’s your job.
Life is also experimental. In the laboratory of life, “labor” is the operative word, but we do just the opposite as humans. We procrastinate, hesitate and, we don’t move forward. And then life “happens,” through tough circumstance, and we have to play defense. Life has a barrage of “checkmates” because we didn’t take preemptive action, and take the lead in playing offense. If you don’t roll the dice, life will nudge you forward, often with difficult circumstances! Once you recover from challenge, you wake up and now it’s your turn, again.
Life wants you to jump in, feet first, and roll the dice. That’s what effort is – it’s action. No more waiting for the phone to ring – you dial first. No more waiting for a “sign” – you make the first move and see what happens. No more waiting for the next health scare – you take charge of better eating and more exercise. No more waiting for others to invite you – you invite someone, first. No more waiting to start that project – start on something. Roll the dice and make the first move. That’s how you become a better player in the game of life – learning to make moves and play offense. If you learn to do this enough, the universe usually picks up the slack and jumps in to help you co-create your dreams. Winning is always laced in the effort you put towards it. The universe takes care of the magic needed to make it all happen in your favor. Go on and play the game. Experiment – it’s your turn!
Truth!
