Life is a challenge – a "game" if you will. The game of life is a whole lot easier to win, if you know your opposition, the playing field, and the rules.
In this case, the opposition is your own negative mind — seven levels of deeply subconscious fear that limits everything you do in life, and suppresses every part of who you are as a person. This is otherwise known as fear. And this is not your fear of snakes, fear of suspicious characters, or fear of heights. That is irrational fear, such as the fear of change, fear of criticism, fear of rejection, and so on.
In other words, the opposition is fear – in yourself and in others. Because we’re all playing the same game here. Other people’s fear will subconsciously limit and suppress you into unhappiness, just as much as your own fear will subconsciously limit and suppress you into unhappiness. That’s what you play against – your own fearful opposition, and the fearful opposition of others.
The playing field is life itself. And just take a look around. There is a lot of fear-based limitation and suppression in the world. Once you see it … you can’t unsee it. It's in your own mind, limiting everything you do, and every part of who you are. It's baked into people's reactions, opinions, how they relate to you, and what they suggest. It's embedded in our rules and regulations, politics, mass-media … even religion. The playing field is all around you, and in you. It's everywhere.
The main rule of the game is fear is allowed to operate subconsciously in the background of everyone’s mind – male, female, old, young. Everyone’s doing it, but nobody seems to be aware they’re doing it, and that makes the game of life a whole lot more challenging … for all of us!
And you need that challenge – believe it or not. The only way you can gain more personal power, lived wisdom, and true lasting happiness (which is what everyone is searching for); is by overcoming the limitation, suppression, and unhappiness caused by fear – in yourself, and projected upon you by others. The game of life is a Hell of a game!
And the more you study the deeper purpose of life (revealed in level 4 and Level 5 of my workshops), the more you realise that life is deliberately rigged to support the illusion of fear, to maintain that exact challenge.
But forgetting out others for a moment, let's look at your own game. To limit and suppress you, fear uses the belief system below. You developed this fear-program in childhood from 0-7 years, which is why it's so irrational. If you'd like to know more, I've written a full article about the childhood fear-program, which you can read about by clicking here. But here is a summary of the the deeply subconscious childhood fear-program, that now runs in the background of your adult mind, limiting everything you do, and suppressing every aspect of 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); so I don't like myself as much anymore, and that makes me unhappy (Unhappiness); so I will seek the approval (and things) of others, so they make me happy again by doing what others expect me to do, to keep them happy (Conformity); planning my life around them, to avoid upsetting them (Distraction); and living my life the same way they do, without question (Ignorance).”
That's your greatest opposition. Therefore, to beat it, tackle it to the ground, and win the game of life — you simply have to prove that belief wrong, by doing the exact opposite. That would be:
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's the True Purpose of Life, and that's how you win the game of life. And if you can find a lifestyle, business, or career to match the above, you've hit the jackpot! Not only will you prove your fears wrong and live them out of existence in the most fun way possible, but you'll also create more wealth, better health, more success, more fulfilment, and true lasting happiness.
But first you have to know what your true purpose is, which is why we created the FINDING True Purpose workshop. Check it out here.
