Do you feel MASTERFUL at how you play the Game of YOUR Life?
IMAGINE getting up every morning and feeling masterful at playing your BIG GAME, a way of living that is a full expression of your Unique Self and the Unique Contribution you are here to make. How different is that from the way you wake up now? Will you give yourself permission - right now - to imagine, if just for a moment, what living life that way would mean for YOU? Gone would be the struggle of chasing after conventional "safe success" that leaves you exhausted and unfulfilled - and in it's place would be a clear way of living your BIG GAME.
IMAGINE seeing Life as an opportunity to express the highest and best that you have to offer, a purposeful game that propels you into a lifetime of evolutionary growth and a full expression of your Unique Gifts and Contributions. And imagine your workplace, your home, your community - in fact, the Earth - as your playing fields where you get to show up powerfully and make a difference!
IMAGINE an entirely new relationship with your body. Not one characterized by "no pain, no gain" or "whipping it in shape," but a relationship of deep respect and honoring. Imagine not only working ON your body, but working WITH IT, and THROUGH IT, as you learn how to master shaping yourself into who you most desire to be (my definition of "getting in shape") and expressing yourself in new ways at work, at home, and in the world. Imagine learning an integral approach to health that activates and aligns your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, relational, and environmental health so you can embody your BIG GAME and share it with the world!
How different would your world be if you saw others as Unique Selves - as Unique and irreducible expressions of the love and intelligence of LIFE - with something unique to offer you and the world? Imagine inviting them to play their BIG GAME and inspiring them them into action by how you play yours! How would that impact the quality and unfolding of your relationships and the world around you?

Whatever you are aspiring to achieve and become in life, here are some essentials for Playing at Your Best:
#1 BE WILLING
You are willing to play the game and to become a player who can play full out. Being willing is about finding and becoming a BIG YES! that excites you and is worth playing for, that ignites your Spirit, and compels you into creative action. Are you willing to get started and do what it takes to become a Masterful Player of your BIG GAME?
"I am willing to do what is necessary to become a Masterful Player of my BIG GAME for the enrichment of my life, the life of others, and the world around me. I am saying YES to reshaping my 'Every-Day Way' so that I become a living expression of my deepest values and principles. I am saying YES to inviting others to play their BIG GAME, to share with all of us their Unique Self and their Unique Contributions."
#2 BE CLEAR
You have contemplated and became clear on exactly what your BIG GAME is, why you want to play it, what playing the game looks like, who you will need to BE and BECOME to play it, and how to play it so myself, others, and the world are enriched.
"I am clear on who I am, the game I really want to play, and what a winnable game looks like to me."
#3 BE PRESENT AND AWARE
You are committed to developing the skill of being present in the moment, seeing and experiencing what is around you, within you, and between you and others. This awareness gives you the freedom and information you need to play more skillfully, connecting more intimately with others and the environment you're in. You're aware of the situation and how what's happening is impacting your playing of the game.
"I am present and aware of what is happening around me, within me, and between myself and others. I use this awareness to expand my inner freedom, make better choices, and become a better player of the Game of Life."
#4 BE ACCEPTING
Being more present and aware often reveals things you may not want to see. Learning to be a Masterful Player of your BIG GAME requires accepting yourself as you are so you have the foundation to become all that you can be. Accepting allows you to play without an overload of inner resistance, inner criticism, judgment, or growing frustration - all of which can shut you down or block your ability to play and create results.
"I accept what I discover about myself as I play the game. Acceptance expands the space in which I can play. With acceptance, I can see more clearly and embrace all aspects of myself, making myself a stronger and wiser player and creator."
#5 BE FOCUSED
You're focused on what really matters, and what it really takes to play masterfully every day. You become masterful at guiding your attention and energy into the ways of being, doing and relating that empower you to play well. You're focused on the practices and actions necessary to create results and desired outcomes, and you've learned how to manage the many distractions of modern living.
"I'm focused and free of distractions. I guide my attention and energy into the actions and practices necessary to play my BIG GAME!"
#6 BE SUPPORTED AND SUPPORTING
You take the time to develop a team of people that support you. You create environments that nourish you, challenge you, and enliven you. You become a support to others who are also playing or aspire to play their BIG GAME. You recognize the support that is all around you, beneath you and above you. You realize that nature and Life itself is in total support of you being your Unique Self and playing your BIG GAME.
"I am constantly upgrading my environments and relationships making them more nourishing, energizing, and challenging so that I can be and play my best."
#7 BE CONSTRUCTIVELY ACTIVE AND FULLY EMBODIED
You are committed to taking constructive action every day, harmonizing your head, heart, and body to fully engage the game you are playing. You are fully embodied as the person you choose to be, shaping yourself into a conscious player of the Game of Life. You watch out for "busyness" and take those actions that construct/create the results and outcomes you desire. You engage Life fully by engaging your BIG GAME fully.
"I am engaging my BIG GAME fully by taking daily constructive actions that lead to the creation of my desired results and outcomes - and that shape me into a more complete expression of my Unique Self."
