Wednesday Wisdom | Life Is a Game — Play to Win
In today’s high-stakes, fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught playing defense—reacting instead of leading, surviving instead of thriving...
But what if you chose to see life as a game?
As coaches, we often remind clients: the mindset you bring to the game determines how you play it. As Iyanla Vanzant so powerfully wrote:
“The rules of the game of life are quite simple. Always tell the truth. Never live in fear… Be conscious of what you are thinking… Do everything for the love of doing it… you cannot lose.”
(Source: “Until Today!” by Iyanla Vanzant)
This is about conscious leadership.
It’s about playing from a place of integrity, presence, and inner alignment.
It’s about co-creating your outcomes—not merely reacting to circumstances.
What mindset are you bringing into today’s “game”?
What does “playing to win” look like for you and your team—not at the expense of others, but in alignment with your core values?
How do you support a culture where everyone plays with courage, clarity, and connection?
Share this with your teams and explore:
What rules are we playing by, and are they helping us win—together?
Remember: You are the player, the strategist, and the game-changer. Expect to win. Play to win. Lead with love—and you cannot lose.
You got this!
