How To Play The Game Of Life
It’s simple when you know the rules, not so simple when you don’t. If you do learn the rules and you play by them, you are guaranteed what you want in life. If I asked you why you want anything in life, what would you say? You’d always come to the same conclusion; to feel better than I do at the moment. You may also be coming to realise that unless you can make steady movement towards what you want in life, you will not be joyful.
The bad news is that you can never regress in life and be a happy person. When you have identified something that you want, you have to move towards that goal or you will feel not feel joyful. Life causes you to expand, to want more, to become more than you were before. You may keep up with this expansion and you may not, it is really up to you. Some go along with the expansion willingly, and live happy lives as a result. Others are more reluctant as they feel the tension between their desires and the life they are living, and they inherently know they should be the expanded evolved person they want to be. If you have powerful desires in life, and fail to keep up with them, you may choose to numb out the pain with some kind of behaviour or substance, or you may choose to end the pain and your life, by checking out early.
Some people who fail to keep up with their expanded selves come to the conclusion that the trick is to limit their own desire, as that was what they concluded was causing the pain in the first place. It wasn’t desire per se, just their inability to keep up with their desire. They might become spiritualists who declare that one should want for nothing, and that the lusting after material possessions is wrong. Whatever they decide, it is their inability to keep up with their life’s work that causes their pain, and they can only be truly joyful if they follow their dreams.
On the whole, people don’t understand how they get what they get in life, and in their feeling of powerlessness they seek to think their way out of it. They strive to control the circumstances around them, creating rules and laws and trying to restrict the behaviour of others. If people were self-empowered, they wouldn’t feel the need to legislate against anyone else, as they would understand how everything came to them. You can’t think your way out of it, you have to feel your way
Furthermore, the only way you can ever come into your own power is by letting go of control of the outside world, its people places and things, and look inside yourself instead to seek control of the way you feel. Many great teachers throughout the ages have spoken of unconditional love, and this is what they meant. Unconditional love says “I will love (feel good) regardless of what the conditions might be. I will be who I really am and love you, even if you are feeling bad and blaming me or my behaviour for the way you feel”. Conditional love says; “I will love (feel good) when you behave in a way that pleases me, but if you don’t please me, I will disapprove of you and feel bad. It is your responsibility to behave in a way that makes me feel good.” So how can we practice unconditional love? By focussing in a way that makes us feel good. Seeing things in a kind, loving, gentle light, giving people the benefit of the doubt. By knowing that nobody’s done anything wrong and that all really is well. By demonstrating the loving person that you really are to the world, and feeling the true nature of your being.
The majority are taught at a young age to pay less attention to their own feelings, and pay more attention to the feelings of the adults around them. This ultimately leads to confusion as the individual becomes unable to guide his own life, as he looks outside of himself for the answers, all of which lay inside him all along. The well meaning adults forgot a long time ago how to live unconditional love and felt that changing outside conditions was easier. Regrettably, this leads people away from the only thing of any importance to them; the way they feel, because it determines their point of attraction in this life. But to get to the place where you can control how you feel, you will need to understand your emotions, what they mean and why they are so important.
What are the rules of this game we call life? Page one: How does life relate to you? Are you getting what you want in life? What determines one person’s success or personal achievement over another’s? How do some people live charmed lives while other struggle and seem to get nowhere? Is life all about luck or chance, and do we need to redistribute the world’s wealth to make things more even? How is it possible to make sense of such a large and complicated system?
So many questions, but where to start? We need to stop trying to ‘think’ our way and start to ‘feel’ our way along the path. Emotions are a powerful guidance that few understand, but appreciation for them will lead to personal satisfaction and a joyful life experience. But before we discuss emotions, we need to talk about The Law. That’s right folks, it’s The Law of Attraction, the only law worth talking about.
Law of Attraction takes care of orchestrating all things in life; matching up like and like vibrations in both physical and non-physical realities. It is fair to say that it’s worth knowing about (it’s really the only law worth talking about). Have you heard the expression “Birds of a Feather Flock Together”. This is what law of attraction does. It matches up like and like vibrations; essentially we attract to us things that are similar to who we are. Similar? In what way?
It you consider your brain as a radio receiver and transmitter, with the ability to tune in to unlimited frequencies. Good feeling happy high flying thoughts have high frequencies and bad feeling, sad, depressing thoughts have low frequencies. When we tune into these frequencies, law of attraction will match us up with the frequency to which we are tuned. Tune to love and see the love in the world. Tune to beauty and see how much beauty there is in the world. Tune to abundance and see the natural abundance in the world. Of course the same goes for the negatives of all of these things, but I wouldn’t recommend you look for those. It’s not that these things have been created by your thoughts. They were there all along, it’s just that you can see them now that you are tuned into their frequency. You have rendez vous’d with them.
But how does Law of Attraction work in the real world? If I apply myself like a successful person, will I become successful? Not necessarily. Law of Attraction will bring to you things which match the way you feel. If you feel successful then Law of Attraction will bring you circumstances, people, situations and the rest to match that successful feeling. If you only act as though you are successful but you still feel poor or unworthy of success, then you will not attract success that you want, as the Law of Attraction responds only to how you feel, which in this case is unworthy. Set how you want to feel, and change your life from the inside out.
