Whose Game of Life are you playing?

There are two sides to every story and then there is the truth. When you can sit and hold space to hear all three sides, that is true transformation. Truth may not always be about being right because through each eye, they are right. The other wants you to see their reality. Their reality is their truth. As your reality is yours. What if we just looked at it as though they are just perception of what we have been told or shown as truth?

What if we pause and question, are the very things I have built my life, my foundation of life on, even true for me? Maybe it was someone’s truth, but is it mine?

Cultures across this world see things differently, and for many different reasons. Situations, misunderstanding and lack of connection leads to many beliefs being formed. This isn’t anything new. It has been happening since this world started spinning. Everyone and I mean everyone has their own experiences. Beliefs are passed down generation after generation. Ultimately, they are there to serve a purpose of some kind. To keep us alive and safe. It also gives us hope and faith. Beliefs are the conscious and unconscious laws and rules we use to run our life. Look at it like this, we are in a game of life. When we are born, we land on the board. We have no idea what the rules are. What do the other pieces mean? We put values on spots. Trade money to buy land just so we can drain the accounts from other people, just to win? Really, what is the point? We have been told the game is to WIN! Win at what?

At the end, the winner takes the fame, all the money and bragging the rights. The other players feel like failures, like they were not good enough and should have rolled the dice differently. All because someone told us how to play the game. Instead, if you had known that someone just made up the rules that you have just been unconsciously following. Maybe you would have not played. You just were playing their game, their rules. So, when you get mad and feel as though you have been taken advantage of, or something doesn’t quite resonate with you, it’s probably because you are playing their truth. It doesn’t feel good. Your truth feels different.

Real life is no different. We each have landed in countries, cities, small towns and families that have created beliefs for us. We are born into them. Our minds are doing what they know will keep us safe and alive. We choose to believe what someone shows us. We mirror it. We don’t know the difference. We don’t question. We carry on as if their experiences are our truths. Their hurts become ours. The way we are treated are the ways we accept or treat others. Perception is through our eyes.

After spending an entire life looking, feeling and hearing through others perspective on their experiences and then doing the inner work, man did my eyes open. Not only was I living other people’s truth but it was passed down truth.

How long are we going to spend living other peoples lives? Their misfortune? Their mistakes? Their choices? Beliefs that kept them stuck? Beliefs that limited where they could go and what they could do.

I have learned through Hypnosis that I needed to hold space for myself first. Find my truth. Uncover what makes me feel happy. Find what holds me back. I keep finding them, but instead of keeping it hidden, I bring them to the light. I change the belief that was installed and I transform it into a new belief that propels me towards the future I know with unshakeable conviction, I deserve.

I then can hold space for others, to help them see their truth. The shadows they are scared to see, the ones they don’t know that follow them around all day. The ones that hold them back. They are looking through truths that are not theirs.

This is where the magic happens. Once we can hold our own truth, allow others to hold their truth, true peace, connections and abundance happens. When you are happy living in your truth, living from an authentic soul, you have no desire to see others suffer, feel pain, manipulate to your gain. You don’t allow others to control you. Consciously or unconsciously. You live from peace and want the same for others.

I have never had a career where I feel like my true purpose was to serve others. In the past it was a mindset to work for others. Now, to me, sitting and holding space for people and getting to know who they are down to the deepest part of them is humbling but mostly honoring. The most precious gift I could get from someone is the trust they give me to help them to the light. The crazy thing is, all I am giving is space. Space to find their truth and for most of us, the parts of us we have never seen, knew existed or the truth of a future, where we control the game of life.

Ask yourself?  As my dad would say, “Self, what truth do you hold from yourself?  What truth do you deny in others? How do we hold space for others so we can see the truth between us?

Beliefs create games we play, rules that others have to follow. When you are ready to stop playing that game and take control, hypnotherapy is life changing. It changed my whole life. I am here to help change yours.
