Life is a game.

It was never meant to be difficult.

Life is a game.

And it was never meant to be difficult. I’ve noticed that way too many people take life too seriously or create their problems, and spend a tremendous amount of energy trying to solve them.

The game of life has a beginning, a middle, and an end. And the wild part is we don’t exactly know when that middle and end will be. We are good at forgetting that this entire experience is a finite one, and yet, so many people assume it will go on forever.

Even worse, I’ve noticed that many of us spend a lifetime chasing other people’s dreams and looking for validation from others, and turn away from our hearts, and deny ourselves inner peace and joy, and daily humor and levity. And why?

I believe we’ve been programmed to believe that the “sacred” should be the “serious”. I don’t know about you, but I don’t care to take this short finite life too seriously. I find that the highest form of consciousness is having a sense of humor and being able to hold paradoxes and see infinite possibilities.

Following someone else’s script and living an assembly-line type of life, rather than creating, directing, narrating, and editing one’s own script is the main delusion playing out in this world today.

We don’t need to privilege the outside world to find that sense of inner peace and joy. No one can ever give you a sense of lasting security and joy. It all begins with the self.

I’ve also been wondering how many people have free will and agency over their own minds anymore. I guess, how can we with the amount of information that’s being pushed into our scripts all day long? I find so many people are NPC’s (in video game terminology, known as Non-Player Characters), just following along in a script and providing no meaningful action to the main game.

I recently told a friend that the way to have agency is to ignore a tremendous amount of information, especially from other people, whose minds are mostly colonized by other people’s scripts and agendas. I’ve observed that deep inner wisdom, our innate intuitive intelligence, and our heart intelligence are what we need to develop and hone in a crowded world vying for the attention of our ego, and playing into our deepest fears and insecurities.

I am not interested in playing anyone else’s game, sacrificing my energy, time and attention in someone else’s script.

And the best a friend or a partner can do for you is to encourage you to play yours. And to play it well.

So, dear reader, do you want to be an NPC, or do you want to be a main Player?

If you’d like to stay in touch, you can check out my podcast Gateways to Awakening where I’ve interviewed over 215+ leaders on the topics of intuition, consciousness, well-being, and spirituality. It’s now in the top 2% of all podcasts listened to globally, and my hope is to continue to release one show a week.

I also teach Executives and Creatives how to master their intuition and their energy to launch their business or idea into the world. You can learn more about the 5-Week Program at InnerKnowingSchool.com.
