Marcel Legros - Play the Game of Life

Changing a few words can change your life for the better. Stop saying “if only,” and start saying, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.” We all have tons of “if only’s,” such as “If only the boss liked me, I could move up,” or, “If only I could win the lottery, my life would be great.” The common theme is that we are relying on someone or something else to make our life good. Do you really think your boss, the government, or something else is going to come and save you? Relying on someone else to save you robs you of your self-esteem and a sense of control over you life. Once you take control of your life, you feel better and you begin to take steps to move ahead. So stop saying “if only,” and start saying, “If it’s to be, it’s up to me.”

Don’t act like a loser, even if you are losing. Have a winner’s eye view of what you are doing. You want people to be around you, and they won’t be around if you act like a loser. You are not a loser, just because you lost, or are in the losing position. Keep your head up, focus on the positive and project a winner’s image. People can sense a loser, and they can sense a winner. Make it a winner that they sense.

Our negative self-talk does more damage to ourselves, than anything, anyone else can say about us. Our subconscious mind pays a great deal of attention to what we say and tends to accept what we say as true. If we say we can’t do something, our mind buys into that and goes on as if that were true. The reverse is also true, if we say we can do something, our mind goes on, operating as if we can do it. So be careful of what you say, your mind can and will use it against you or for you. Use assumptions to help you instead of hurting you. Most of assume the worst, when we think of a new idea for ourselves. We assume that people won’t like it, that it won’t work, it will be too expensive, and so on. Why not assume that everyone will like it, that it will work and it will come in under budget and ahead of schedule. A change to positive assumptions will give you the power to move ahead and make your ideas happen, so challenge any negative assumptions that come up and find positive assumptions to replace them.

I am sure you are familiar with the story of filling a jar with golf balls, and it looking full, then putting pebbles in it, and it looking full, then on to sand, and finally a liquid, and trying to decide when it is full. There are many things you can learn from this, but I like to think that the golf balls represent the good things in your life, and if you don’t put them in first, they will never fit in the jar. The same goes for your life, if you don’t plan on putting the good things into your life first, they will never happen, they will be replaced by the small stuff.
Live Life.
