"Nothing has any meaning except the meaning I give it" - what a powerful statement and a great tip for TUG (The Ultimate Game) players. 

 

We can easily be observers and forget to be participants.  Life can go by so easily and many of us in the game have learnt the benefits of participation in life.  We have learned that by participating, we can gain a lot more in terms of health, wealth and happiness.  However, every now and again we put a lot of meaning to how we have gathered those qualities to our life.

 

It can easily occur that we get upset or distracted from our vision or our goal and get bogged down in the 'meaning' of it all.  Perhaps the greatest insight into putting meaning on something is the tip of the day: Nothing has meaning except the meaning I give it.

 

In other words we can have our self talk be powerful and positive or we can have it be negative.  One moves us forward the other stagnates and limits us. 

 

Today's Ultimate Game Level 3 call affirmed the need to remember that we are the one that puts the meaning to it all.  Though this is something you have heard before, how great to be in an environment where you are safe to address concerns and issues.  Many TUG players have been at work in the area of their environments, whether it be cleaning out a closet, or reviewing friendships, or finding a career that they are passionate about!  This type of work stirs up reminders of our past and in doing so can halt us, so to be in a community that can give you access to true happiness is awesome.

 

Today was a great day   ..... And a great call.
