This made me cry. I stopped reading [this is even before the Foreword] and took the hour off to reflect on just this. “What is the real game?” “It is a game in which the heart is entertained, the game in which you are entertained.” Do not forget the game you are playing. https://t.co/SzXV35P39p
This sentence is remarkable. “Once you understand the principles . . . you will be able to quiet your mind, focus clearly, and /truly play the game/.” What it means is every other time, we are not playing the game. https://t.co/zFhap6uHr2
When we are demurring, or apologising, or fretting—we are not playing the game. When we are anything but sunk, whole-heartedly advocating for ourselves—we are not playing the game. We are playing a different game. Called “Look at me and don’t judge me, please.” https://t.co/9HEOb0sfH5
Life is hard, and full of rejection and failure. But. If you are the one doing anything but vouching for yourself. You are not playing the game. https://t.co/7E5TeLkiGn
Repeat after me, if you feel like it: Life is hard, and full of rejection and failure. But. I will never be the one to count myself out. I will never take up arms against myself. I will never be the one to sabotage me. I’m on my side and I root for me to succeed. https://t.co/Eo1Pk9g3et
