EPISODE #53 – THE GAME OF HIDE AND SEEK
THE GAME OF HIDE AND SEEK
One of the first real games we learn to play as children is – Hide and Seek.
“Ready or not, here I come!”
Words we’ve all heard, with a rush we’ve all felt.
An incredibly fun game that brings a smile. How clever children are with their chosen places and spaces. As adults we still play this game, in just a far more clever and sophisticated way.
As we grow from children to adults, we learn that we can play this game internally, not just externally.
The pain that many carry is 2 fold.The pain of hiding.The pain of seeking.
Both processes will bring pain, in there own unique ways.
But only 1 brings the promise of your inborn potential, while the other promises its end.
Many spend the latter years of adult life hiding. Much of what the world needs is actually hidden in each and every person. NOT just in a select few.
Hence the saying ‘don’t waste your potential’.
For those who are hiding. Your time is now, to think big and start small. The ‘how’ will become clearer with each day you practice this. Little by little, day by day let the law of compound do its work for good with you, rather than against.
For those who are seeking and already on their way. Keep playing. You will find others along the way who will help. Most important of all, encourage and continue to lift those up around you.
You’re in a game that is all in no matter what.
So if you’re one of those lucky few that still get to wake up each day. Here is something cool or you to say..

“When we lose people to suicide, we don’t lose just a biomass of complexity, we lose potentiality and huge promise”
“The machinery that helps us move forward in life can also destroy us”
“The beauty of people is that you only have to scratch 1 or 2 mm’s below the surface to release just how uniquely painful and beautiful peoples lives are”
“The space between who you could be and who are is the pain that you will experience”
“As you become a greater agent in the world, the arena changes, and there is a constant feedback loop”
“You are reinforcing the identity of who you are and what you are by just casting a vote in that direction everyday”
