The Game (The Game is Life, #1)

by Terry Schott

A player goes into the Game and forgets everything about who we truly are.

Of course, there are things the players can do inside the Game that are impossible in real life, but not many players figure that out while playing.

about what I’ve seen. Besides, my fan base doesn’t

If life is a game, then I've done a poor job of playing it. My time on Earth has been boring and uneventful. I've wasted so much of my youth choosing to sit around doing nothing when I was most full of life and energy—playing games, gambling, working at simple jobs, trading my time for just enough money to pay the bills to survive and not really learning anything or traveling. My middle years were spent foolishly also as low motivation led to me abuse my body with lack of exercise and junk food. I wouldn't treat an automobile as poorly as I've treated the vehicle in which my mind lives and moves. It's no wonder it is failing me now. But the greatest sin of all that I have committed is allowing my mind to sleep all these years. When I was young, I had such plans, but I listened to the world when it told me I was silly and demanded that I grow up. Growing up made me forget how to play games and that turned out to be the worst thing that could have happened. If life is a game, and we forget how to play games, what chance do we have of succeeding? Excerpt from Earth book called The Game Is Life

Danni convinced me years ago that, if life is a game, we should play it. That means we learn a new thing until we get good at it and then stop and learn something else.

“I built it in for meditating. The praying just happened to be a coincidence. And I can’t tell you why. It’s better if you don’t know.”

I bet that’s how she communicated with George. I just assumed he imagined signs and signals in news, songs, and through subtle messages from others, like how we communicate with the Timeless now.

Who would have thought that living one’s life as if it were a game could allow a person to be so successful?

“We should really get interested in biology and also start to learn how the mind works. The subconscious is apparently quite powerful, too.”

It doesn’t matter why, that’s just the way it is. If you want to breathe air, then you can’t lay on the bottom of a pond. If you desire wealth, you can’t sit in front of your television screen and expect it to find you. If you want to learn how to play a musical instrument, you must pick it up and spend thousands of hours practicing.

A sense of entitlement is a serious affliction which affects the majority of people living both inside and outside of the Game. Your life will improve dramatically when you stop expecting the world to hand over its treasures to you simply because you want them.”
