Have you ever heard the metaphor “Life is a game that has to be played?” The key assumption embedded in this statement is that there is one game that everyone is playing. On the face of it, this might appear to be correct, but it is much more multidimensional than that.
The game of life may have similarities from one person to another depending on your age. However, your game pieces, arena, and instructions are as unique as you are. It is also totally up to you who you choose to play with. And, also whether you choose to play for a while by their rules.
Life is a game, but here’s the fun part: you are engaging with what excites you. There’s no one-size-fits-all rulebook—the game pieces, the arena, and instructions are all uniquely yours to create! And the best part? You are free to decide how you respond to everything that comes your way. You have the power of free will, so every choice you make is yours to shape your experience.
Have you ever thought about what your unique game of life looks like? What do you have to do to succeed? What are the rules you are playing by?
Five Universal Laws
You are in charge of how it’s played. You create (and cocreate on a societal level) your rulebook. The only exceptions to this process are the “Five Laws” that guide the game we’re all in. These are universal truths that apply to every aspect of life:
- You exist – There’s no question about it. You’re here, right now, part of this vast and ever-evolving experience.
- Everything is here and now – The present moment is all we have. There is no past, no future, just a series of moments or dimensional experiences.
- The one is the all, and the all are the one – You are connected to everything around you. We’re all part of the same web of existence, each of us influencing the whole and being influenced by the whole. This means that the part we play is uniquely critical.
- What you put out is what you get back – Energy flows both ways. Your beliefs shape what you experience in return. Are your beliefs unconditional and expansive or conditional and contracting?
- Everything changes – Nothing stays the same forever. Change is a constant, and embracing it is the key to growth.
How to play the game to succeed
My game of life is not based on chance. It is about taking the time to identify what excites you, allowing your imagination to discover how these exciting things could manifest, and then taking action on your passion as best you can. Hold it loosely without expectations as to the results and find the gifts in whatever occurs.
As you do this you will find synchronicities that bring factors together in the right timing and you will become aware of the beliefs or insistences that you have that prevent your empowered engagement. This gives you additional choices to engage to receive the support offered and to let go of resistance that you hold. All from a place of gratitude for the ways you are being allowed to be of service
So, when it comes to playing your own game of life, remember that you have the freedom to make choices, adapt, and create your unique path. The challenges you face are just opportunities in disguise, and with each cycle, you get to tweak your game and move forward with a fresh mindset. The beauty of it all is that you can’t fail—you’re always learning and evolving, and that’s what makes it all worthwhile!
