Playing Life Full-Out

I am currently enrolled in a weekly seminar through Landmark Education title “Living Passionately: The Art and Mastery of Playing The Game of Life”. The goal of the seminar is to leave you living life with “purpose, grace and ease.” One of the ideas that we discuss in this seminar is “Playing Full-Out”, that is, playing life full-out every day.

It took me a few sessions before I started to play along, but over the last 2-3 weeks, I have been playing life full-out. To me, playing life full-out means that you are giving everything that you have to give on a daily basis. You aren’t just “going through the motions”, but rather you are making things happen and you are pursuing something bigger for your life.

Since the begin of this month, I have been involved with a 30 Day Challenge where I have been attempting to create a stream of passive income for myself. On top of my quest for passive income, I have also been working and billing more hours on a regular daily basis than I ever have. This is generating more income for myself, but also creating a time-crunch. Where I once had many hours to dedicate to blogging and other random ideas, I know need to be much more effective with my time.

One result of playing life full-out is that I am not having any problems sleeping. While I sometimes do not want to go to bed because I am working on projects that I am really excited about, once I lay down to bed I go right to sleep. Another result is that I am accomplishing a lot more on a daily basis. Rather than sitting around and wasting my time, I have a lot of things on my plate and have an urge to work on everything.

If you aren’t being carried off the field, then you aren’t playing life full-out. You’re likely wasting a lot of time or making a lot of excuses. If you are owning your actions and being unreasonable, then you are on your way to playing life full-out.
