Playing Your Position in the Game of Life - Part Deux

I started this post last week and it got so long, that I divided it into two parts.  

If you missed the first segment, here's the link:

As discussed in the first post, sometimes you can feel like you're in the zone of the game and other times, you can feel like you're tangled in something that seems more like a  full-on wrestling ready-to-take-you-down match.  

Whichever game you're playing, you have much more control over your position than you may think.  

Here are more approaches for you to consider:

Playing Your Position in The Game of Life - Part 1

We're all in this game that we call life.

Sometimes it feels like a game gone-right, and sometimes it might feel like a joke-gone-horribly-wrong.  

Either way, you're playing your position.  

You're the player - which means you're the perceiver, you're the thinker, you're the feeler, you're the receiver and you're the reactor. 

All of that affects how you play the game, how you approach the game, what you get out of the game, and how the game plays out for you.  

No matter what game you're involved in, there are some game plays that'll help you play your position with a winning attitude.  

I started this list and it got so long that I decided to present it in two parts.  Part 2 will be featured next week.

I Hate Turnips and Why It's Ok Not to Like Something

I hate turnips.  I've never liked them.  I don't want to like them.  I don't plan on ever liking them.  They're like eating ear wax to me.  Don't ask...I must have stuck my finger in my ear at one time and made that conclusion.  

While I'm all about changing perspectives, taking different approaches to life, reconsidering things from a different vantage point and changing my mind, I don't foresee any change in my attitude about turnips.  

There are plenty of other choices that offer an array of rainbow-colored vegetables that I enjoy the tasty-taste-of.    

So why make myself like turnips when I don't like them?

Never Mind the Bucket List. Make a F*ck It List

You may have one of those lists full of things that you want to be, do, lick, have, sniff, squeeze, see, play-with, drive, live-in, and possess that you've thrown into a bucket.  Said list represents things you want to experience before you stop breathing for good.

I'm all for a good Bucket List if that fancies your tickle.  I want you to do all of the things that your heart desires in this lifetime and beyond, so I've created a F*ck It List that just may help you while on your way to fulfilling that Bucket List.

Are You Standing in the Way of Your Highest Potential?

You talk about not settling for less than you deserve.

You talk about not settling for less than what you want.

So why settle for less than you can feel?

Insist on feeling good.

Your highest potential is found in this moment in the way that you feel.  It’s much less about the things you achieve or the things you do and more about feeling your best right now in this moment.

Every Relationship You Have, Is About You. Really.

We fall in love.  We project how we feel onto somebody else. 

They’re the reason we feel this good.  They’re the reason we feel this awful. 

We read relationship books.  We learn to communicate Mars to Venus and Venus to Mars. 

We sit cross-legged facing each other muttering the words, “What I hear you saying is this…” 

We try to fix them and then decide to fix ourselves

We change ourselves and try to change them.

To All of You With A Good Dose of Healthy Delusion...This is for You.

You don’t get to where you want to by believing everything you hear.

You don’t fulfill your dreams by pursuing someone else’s.

What’s true for someone else isn’t necessarily what’s true for you.  Nor does it have to be.

Nothing much changes in your current reality if you’re obsessed with the realness of it.

It takes some fortitude to live in this world and focus on what you want when there’s so much that contradicts it.
