The Game of Life

Life is a challenge – a "game" if you will – and that game is a whole lot easier if you know your opposition, the playing field, and the rules.

In this case, the opposition is seven levels of subconscious self-limitation and self-suppression, which limits everything you do in life, and every part of who you are as a person. That is otherwise known as irrational fear, such as the fear of change, fear of criticism, fear of rejection, and so on. That’s what limits and suppresses you, and that's what you play against. You are your own opposition.

So, the opposition is your own fear, the playing field is life itself, and the main rule is that fear is allowed to operate subconsciously behind the scenes, in the background of your mind, to sabotage your game (life), without you even knowing it's happening (most of the time).

That rule might seem unfair, but it's not. Fear gives you a challenge to overcome, and you need that challenge, because overcoming it, is what helps you gain more personal power, lived wisdom, and true lasting happiness. In short, you overcome the opposition of your own fear, to be a "better player". That is the game of life.

So, if your mind uses fear to subconsciously challenge you with self limitation and self-suppression, to make you unhappy; the only way to win the game, is to use your mind to consciously be a more powerful and wiser person, so you create true lasting happiness. Here’s a play-by-play summary of that game:

To limit and suppress you, fear uses the following belief system, which you developed in childhood, and then took with you into adulthood. That deeply subconscious childhood fear-program, now runs in the background of the mind, limiting what you do, and suppressing who you are:

“The world is a scary place of bad things, lack, and untrustworthy people (Dread); so there is no point venturing out into the world to make any progress (Stagnation); and I’m not good enough to do things well anyway (Mediocrity). Consequently, I can’t enjoy myself, nor do I like myself as much anymore, and that makes me unhappy, so I will seek the approval of others, so they make me happy again (Unhappiness); by doing what others expect me to do, to keep them happy (Conformity); planning my life around them, to avoid upsetting them (Distraction); and believing what they tell me to believe, without question (Ignorance).”

Therefore, to overcome that challenge, and win the game of life back to happiness, you simply have to prove that belief wrong by:

Making the exhilarating decision to do what you’ve always wanted to do in life (Adventure); venture out into the world to do it one step at a time (Progress); constantly self-improving to do it to the very best of your ability (Talent); so you en-joy yourself, and like yourself more, so you need less approval from others (Happiness); so you’re more likely to do things in your own unique way (Passion); with your own unique focus and direction (Inspiration); to prove to yourself in real life, what’s actually true for you (Understanding).

That is the True Purpose of Life, and all you have to do is live it, to not only prove your fears wrong, but also create more wealth, better health, more success, more fulfilment, more purpose and direction, and more joy.

Living your true purpose is by far the fastest and most fun way to live your fears out of existence and live your best life. Satisfaction guaranteed, or twice your negativity back.
