Life is a game.

Identify what game you’re playing and then determine if that is supporting you or holding you back.

Elaina’s game of “don’t fail” was holding her back.

When her game changed from “fear of failure” … to … “take action” … taking action on inspired thoughts, opportunities and possibilities, however and wherever they showed up, without overanalyzing or getting too in her head about it … then everything opened up, everything changed.

Suddenly in her new game she could win at her overall game even if she so-called “failed” at a project because now her game was “go for it, just take action” … so it no longer mattered what the short-term outcome was. As long as she was taking action, she was winning at her game.

So she could land on her face … she could have it not work out … none of that mattered because she was still taking action. And for every time she fell on her face, there were 3 or 4 times when something magical happened.

Would she have experienced the magic if she had kept playing it safe? As Kevin Nations says, “Winners take imperfect action.”

Does fear of failure stop you from taking risks?

Have you settled in certain areas of your life?

Does it have you staying in a relationship that is just not working?

Does it have you staying at a job which is not fulfilling?

Does it have you committing to things which just don’t blow your hair back?

Consider a new game.

Consider trading it in for something inspiring where you gain more adventure, more experience, more opportunity than you ever would have if you had stayed in the game you were playing before.
