#LifePlaysTricks@ShannonEastman

After one of the most ball-breaking, and soul grating weeks of my year so far, I had to ask myself the question.

“Seriously, why bother?” This time was different, this time I wanted an answer that would keep me in the game.

I got my answer. So I figured I’d share my interpretation of it, with you here. You may or may not agree. That’s fine. My intention is to simply share my experiences with you, to further enable yours.

Why bother?


The short answer? Because “without struggle, there is no creation.”- Shannon Eastman

#LifePlaysTricks


The longer answer? Because without struggle, there is no creation.To struggle is to seek. To seek is to find. To find is to experience not finding. The experience of not finding is your source of wisdom.Your source of wisdom expands your awareness. Your expanded awareness, let’s you be the change, you want to see <created> in the world.

#LifePlaysTricks


For me, this means, that I am choosing the form of “Life Schooling” (Entrepreneurship) that I will use to experience my own unique form of the universal struggle (Life). This struggle provides me with experiences I need to further alter my perception. Altered perception expands my degree of awareness. That allows me to be stay 3-feet ahead of those I am here to serve.

The longer answer and my interpretation:

It’s quite genius really. And exactly why I believe that #LifePlaysTricks - Shannon Eastman


How did I arrive at my answer?

#LifePlaysTricks8

I reminded myself of three things: Me! Life! You!

Rumi, The Mys-c 13th Century Poet and Philosopher.

Stop acting so small, you are the universe in

ecstatic motion.- Rumi


Me! The meaty covered skeleton, strapped to a rock, hurtling through space that comprises; Mind, Body, Heart?

Yeah, her!

MIND: HEART:BODY:“There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled.There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled.You feel it, don't you?” - Rumi

So what are you going to do about it?

Your mind is an electrical field, detectable with medical equipment. Anywhere there is a nerve cell, there is electricity.The most concentrated bundle of nerve cells? Your brain. Your brain behaves the same way as electrons and photons.The higher the frequency, the higher the degree of consciousness. The (current) level of our consciousness produces our reality.

What’s your current frequency then?

We are made from the same stuff as stars. Increasing our level of consciousness to the highest possible degree, brings us closer to source. Increasing consciousness is the struggle. We choose the form of struggle. (I choose entrepreneurship).

If you didn’t have this particular struggle, you’d have it in another form.

Have you ever really pondered your favourite

quote?

---------

What you seek, is also seeking you.

- Rumi


Life! And 6 ways #LifePlaysTricks

School of Life: Most of us are enjoying the Schooling of Life. So my question is, what is the purpose of School? What does it actually take to evolve?

Experience. What is the purpose of experience? What is the cost to you if you do NOT having experience? What is the ticket price to acquire our experience?

Perception. We know the saying; If you want healing, fall ill. If you want to let the light through, crack open the heart.

2 or more people doing it together: Mirrors let us drive safely. Mirrors let us see ourselves. Every person you attract into your life is a mirror reflection of you (the parts you have not yet owned, yet)

Struggle: What is the purpose of struggle? How does it serve us? What does it cost us to not struggle?

Feedback loops. Everything that you experience, that causes you to REACT (as opposed to respond) is feedback that we get to use as an opportunity to do The Work on us, or to rack up more baggage, only to do The Work later.

Don’t you know yet that it is your light that lights

the world? - Rumi


About Those You are Here To Serve.

Life Purpose: To make a meaningful difference. To leave the planet beDer than you found it. You are gene-cally designed to want to facilitate something meaningful for another human being.

“Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputa-on. Be notorious.” ― Rumi

#LifePlaysTricks

You want to do what you love, and love what you do. You are commiDed to making money from what is meaningful to you.

Because, my dear friend, this isn’t about you anymore, it’s about those you are in service to.
