From the Inside Out

The Inner Game of Life

There is a general agreement in the world that the way the it works is that everything outside of you is so and you have to fit into it in some way. In other words, it is a belief that creates a state of being of reaction rather than creation.

You see things ‘out there’ and that determines your next move, which creates what you then see ‘out there’, which determines your next move ad infinitum.

This is of course the truth because it is generally agreed by the majority and as such creates a reality based on the predominant consciousness adopted by the population of the world, but it is not actuality.

What actually happens is that you create your moment first, often subconsciously and because it is subconscious the world appears to be the way it is because it just is and so your next moment of creation is influenced by that, again acted out habitually and subconsciously.

This is the reason why adopting a healthier attitude to life is what brings about a better quality of life. It is YOU who is the starting point for all you experience. That’s why you can take a dislike to somebody whilst other people love that person. It’s you doing the ‘disliking’, not them doing the ‘disliked’.

OK enough philosophizing. What it comes down to is that you have the power to create your life. Oh yes you do because you are already creating it! Once you commit to creating your life with awareness: I.e. deliberately and purposefully, you’ll see just how much easier it can be to experience life the way you want it to be more of the time.

It’s the same principle as the inner game of golf or tennis. What separates the very best players from the others is the strength of mind, attitude and focus. There are many tennis players with the same actual ability and skill as Roger Federrer for example, but he has the mental edge. However it’s not just about thinking. In fact it is not about thinking at all, even though it is largely to do with the mind.

Something to think about then! I’m still working on it myself.

Enjoy!
