Enlightened Purrs..pective...Want to play a game?
Are you excited by life? Are you happy with where you are in your life? Are you doing what you thought you would be doing? Do you love waking up every morning to hear the sound of birds and the smell of coffee and know that shortly you’ll be on your way to work?
Ok…Let me ask you this … can you honestly answer yes to any or all of these questions?
Why not?
Why not change your perspective on this whole thing called life. Why not just try something new to ignite some inner spark that makes you open your eyes to the beauty of life around you?
It’s simple actually. If you think of life as a game, a game that takes 365 days to complete, kinda like the game of Monopoly or Life. It seems those two games take days to complete or to figure out who the winner is.
Or what if you won every single day of those 365 days!
Wow! Imagine what your answers to my original questions would be!
To change your perspective on life could be simply right in front of you. Maybe you could make one individual really happy by buying them a cup of coffee. You know, you’re at Starbucks in line ordering your Vanilla Frappachino and before you pay simply tell the barista you’d like to pay for the gentleman behind you. “I’ll pay for whatever he’s having, put it on my tab”. Boy, I betcha you’d put a smile on his face. I know you’d feel good too! Why not?
What about, instead of waiting in traffic blowing your horn at who know who is responsible for the hold up, just turn to the car next to you wave and toss them your pearly whites. Why not?
Have you looked in your closet lately? How many of those clothes do you actually wear? There are people that can be warmer, more stylish and actually in need of some of those clothes that you haven’t worn in three years. Take them out, make some room drive down to the Salvation Army and drop them into the box. Why not? Think about it the way I do…more room in the closet…more space to fill with a few new outfits. That always makes me happy!!
When you come to work, do you go straight to your office and open your laptop , sit yourself down in the chair and get to work or can you spare just three to five minutes, walk through the office and say “hi guys, how was everyone’s evening? Anybody up for some bagels that I just bought? Why not? Hey you don’t have to do the bagel thing but a simple hello doesn’t take much. You might come to realize that when the day starts off on a good note…you might actually love what you’re doing!
The alarm clock that you have … does it blare at you and buzz you right up off that pillow or is it a soothing phone ring or Pandora favorite tune? It does help the wake up on the right side of bed.
Have you taken a trip to the big city lately and stared at the homeless chap leaning against the brick wall and continued pass by without saying hello or dropping a few bucks in his hat? Why not? Do you really need those few dollars? Is it gonna make or break you to say hello or good morning?
And come to think of it…when someone does pass you by and say, “Hello, how are you”. Do you respond or continue walking?
The thing is…life isn’t all about you!
It’s all about the other pieces in the game. You can’t play monopoly by yourself and the game of Life…what would it be like if your car didn’t have those little blue or pink pegs in the back?
BORING!!!
Maybe that’s why you didn’t answer yes earlier!
There are people everywhere we turn, everywhere we look. Game pieces so to speak helping us in ways we never thought of in order to win the game. Why not open the deck of cards or the game box and start playing! I guarantee you’ll feel like a kid again with no fear of anything. Look at a child…do you see stress or unhappiness?
NO! Why not? Because they are indestructible beings of happiness.
Life is too short not to answer yes to those questions.
Play the game…be a winner in game of life!
Come on…I’ll play with ya!
