How to Play the Games of Life and Work For REAL

Tough Conversations with David Wood

Is life and work a game?

WHY it's better to view life as a game.

Definition: over there is better than over here.

Game requires doubt. If you KNEW how it would turn out….it wouldn’t be interesting anymore.

Make the best moves you can.

The Games I’m Playing:

Money Game – Purpose/Impact Game Health Game Shelter Game Relationship Game.

It doesn’t feel like a game. It feels serious and Real!

Shit just got real. (Bad Boys II)

That’s how you KNOW it’s a worth-while game.

When you can turn to someone and say Shit Just Got Real – it’s a game worth playing.

TELL US: What games are you playing now, where shit just got real? Comment below video if watching.

The Illusion of Stakes

But what about SERIOUS THINGS?

What about losing a loved one? Losing my house? Losing my health/life? My business failing? That’s not a game!

Life is a game like any others you’ve played on table top, but with higher stakes.

IF Life and Work are games, how do we play the best game?

1) Remember it’s a game

2) Tune in to future podcast episodes.

Expect to hear not only about play, but the three pillars of Play for Real:

Lots of Truth & Authenticity

Daring

Caring – the 3 pillars of play for real.

And - Connection
