This Game Called "Your Life"

It's Single Player Only

Life is a video game where you're the only player and can't ask for someone else's controller or rewrite the rules.

When you were a kid playing video games, what was one of the most frustrating things?

When your sibling, friend or parent kept nagging you during an intense part of the game…

Trying to grab the controller from your hands or tell you how to play it "the right way."

That never worked, did it?

The game was YOUR adventure and YOUR experience to navigate solo…

Nobody else could take over and play through it for you.

They weren't the main character or the one making all the key decisions.

The Truth About Life

Well, as you got older and "grew up", that basic truth about life never changed - yet so many people fail to realize it.

They think life is some kind of co-op multiplayer game where they can just pass off the controller when times get tough.

Sorry, but life isn't designed that way.

You are the single player immersed in the epic storyline that is your existence on this planet.

Nobody else is going through the exact same challenges, leveling up the same skills, or getting the same loot drops as you.

This journey is yours alone.

Sounds lonely, right?

Well, in a way it is - but that loneliness is also your greatest power.

Because just like being the single player in a video game, it means YOU and only you get to…

-> Decide how to react to obstacles

-> What paths to take 

-> What characters to bring into your journey, 

-> And what mindset to have.

The Difference Between a Video Game and Real Life

In a Video Game…

When you get stuck…

1. You can reset from your last saved point If things get too hard.

2. You can quit without consequence.

3. If you don't like how the game turned out, you can simply start over.

4. There are walkthroughs and cheat codes available to make it easier.

In Your Real Single-Player Life…

1. There is no resetting or starting over when you fail

2. You can't quit when you feel like it - the game keeps playing 

3. The difficulty level is the way it is - you have to power up and adapt 

4. There are no cheat codes - you have to master all the skills legitimately 

5. You have to figure out your own unique walkthrough as you go

You Are In Full Creative Control

So while living your life lacks do-overs and shortcuts…

The flip side is that YOU are in full creative control of the entire experience.

Every choice, lesson learned, and move you make is 100% determined by you.

No parents, teachers, coaches or "how-to gurus" can reach through the screen and take the controller from your hands.

Sure, they can offer advice and guidance…

But ultimately YOU are the lead player character making every key decision about what to do next.

Embracing The Challenge

When you stumble upon a crazy hard challenge or level up in the game of life…

You don't have the option to fold like a sore loser.

You've got to get resourceful fast…

-> Maybe start watching video walkthroughs from those who faced similar challenges. 

-> Upgrade your gear with new knowledge and skills.

Then dive back in with improved strategy and execution.

And when you eventually conquer that level by persisting through all obstacles…

Imagine how incredibly satisfying and self-made that accomplishment will feel!

Not because someone coached you through it…

But because YOU did the hard work of truly embodying the mindset and skills required to overcome it. 

Own Your Single Player Journey

Life is a single-player adventure, with you as the sole operator from start to finish.

But if you can embrace this difficult truth and have your full power over your gameplay…

You'll start experiencing an exponential amount of meaning, confidence and fulfillment.

Make the decision today to…

-> Pick up your controller

 -> Own your gaming experience fully 

-> And begin playing YOUR life's journey the way you want…

Not how anyone else thinks you should play it.
