January 25, 2016What if we were to see all of life as a game? How would that change things?
The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their states of mind. William James
If you do not know the frame games at work in your life, or how to play them mindfully, then you can count on one chilling alternative. The games will play you. Without frame detection skills we live blind to the governing frames that control our lives.
The person is never the problem, the frame is the problem, the problem is the frame. Game awareness enhances our personal power and puts us at a choice point. All of the outer games of performance are determined by the inner game of our mental and emotional frames. The champion's true edge lies in the mind. When you win the inner game, it's only a matter of time before you win the outer game.
Men are not disturbed by things but by their estimate of things. An emotion is the difference between two phenomena, our inner and outer games, our model of the world and our experience of the world and we register this difference in our body as an emotion.
Operate from your Power Zone which comprises of thinking, emoting, speaking and behaving. In the private recesses of our mind, we think and feel. As no-body can make you think a certain way, so no-body can make you feel a certain way. I and only I determine what I think and feel. Be transformed by the renewal of the mind.
The significant problems that we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that we used to create them. Albert Einstein
Energy flows where attention goes as determined by intention. It's not enough to set and install frames. We've got to lock them in place if they are to be sustained.
Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Frame game masters set frames by using repetition, questions and mind to muscle processes. The rules that we create and defer to, determine the quality and nature of the games that we play. If we confuse our rules frame with reality and take it for granted, we will then treat our rules as the right way, to do things forgetting that we invented the rules.
What kind of rules govern your inner game? Examining and quality controlling our rules is important since they determine the kind of player we become, the skills we develop in the play and the quality of our game.
Insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Albert Einstein
He was defining the Courage game of Hutzpah, the willingness to risk, to face a danger or threat and to face down the fear with intelligence, passion and understanding.
So if you're ready, let the games begin!
