Life Rule #1…

Rule #1 – Life is a big game, so don’t take it too seriously.

It’s helpful to think of life as a game, so don’t take it too seriously. Right now, if you are having problems, it may feel like anything but a lighthearted game.  It probably feels very serious indeed, but because we are first and foremost spiritual beings that have an unbreakable connection to God, or Source Energy, then the trials and challenges we face are really just a game that we are playing with ourselves.

We can’t ever really “lose” in this arrangement.  So, it must be a wonderful game!

We are all choosing roles in a big divine play, like actors on a stage, and most of us play our chosen roles very well indeed.  But make no mistake, we create the play, we enjoy the drama, we are the audience, and we are the ones who set the agenda.  So a game of life is what it really is – a play.  And the game is meant to be fun.

If you aren’t having fun right now, then perhaps you have lost sight of the fact that you are in a role playing game that you can’t lose. You. Can’t. Lose. So lighten up! Play more!

Remember this basic premise, and your stress level will drop immediately.  After all, if it just a big game, then the outcome is not serious, not important.  We are the ones who place such an emphasis on results, on outcomes, and the fear of not having the perfect outcome places considerable stress on us.  We are here for a joyful experience, and really nothing else is important.  But how many of us place joy as our number one priority?

Exactly. Time to switch things around.
