Playing Field Quotes

“When people want to win they will go to desperate extremes. However, anyone that has already won in life has come to the conclusion that there is no game. There is nothing but learning in this life and it is the only thing we take with us to the grave—knowledge. If you only understood that concept then your heart wouldn’t break so bad. Jealousy or revenge wouldn’t be your ambition. Stepping on others to raise yourself up wouldn’t be a goal. Competition would be left on the playing field, and your freedom from what other people think about you would light the pathway out of hell.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“On the spiritual path, romance loses its worth. Romance implies that we need to be completed by another of a certain gender. And if we handle it correctly, we’ll supposedly get what we need. But when we are already complete, life and relationships become a whole different playing field.”
― Donna Goddard, Prana

“Imagine that you have lived your whole life within the walls of a small house, where everything you received was dropped off and pushed through a mail slot in your front door and you dumped your trash out of a chute on the side of your house. Although you know that there is a whole other world out there beyond the door, and you have read about distant places (different kinds of people and things), you have never stepped outside of your door to really experience them for yourself.
Well, we are inviting you to open up that tiny house and step out into a wider world of experience. We are inviting your roof to lift off of your tiny house and for those walls of your tiny house to open, lay themselves out, and become a larger floor that will support you in your new stage of experience and action.”
