I open my heart and mind to be aware… there are no points in the game of life. How I play determines if I win.
The goal of a football player is to get the ball over the goal line in order to score a touchdown. The goal of a baseball player is to hit a home run in order to increase the team’s score. The goal of a basketball player is to get the ball in the basket and increase the team’s points. Each of these players is focused on the goal, clear about the rules and prepared to win the game. This is not always true for those of us who are playing on the field of life. Our goal is not always clear. Our team is not always supportive. The points we make are not always counted. How do you win the game of life?
The goal of life is not to win. It is to play the game with live. The rules of the game are:
- Have a strong desire to win.
- Believe that you are worthy of winning.
- Have faith that you will win.
- And, as long as you are alive, never believe the game is over.
Go for the love and have fun while you are doing it! There really are no points to count. The fact that you are here means you have already won the important race. Play the game believing you cannot lose. Play the game for the love of it.
The game of life is rigged in your favor. There are angels playing on your side. Learn how to cooperate with them. The team you were born into really doesn’t matter, because there is only one coach for all teams in life. His name is God, and he has been cited for his consistent winning record.
Until today, you may have been working so hard to reach the goal line that you lost sight of the meaning of the game. Just for today, do not keep score. Remind yourself of the rules; love what you are doing. Listen to your coach because with him you are assured victory.
