Press Release Summary = It\'s been said that life is a game and that\'s true. The hockey team with the most goals wins. The politician with the most votes wins. An individual can be engaged in many games at once-some quite empowering, some quite the opposite.
Press Release Body = It\'s been said that life is a game and that\'s true. The hockey team with the most goals wins. The politician with the most votes wins. An individual can be engaged in many games at once-some quite empowering, some quite the opposite. For example, if you were young enough, you could decide to become an NBA basketball star. Your game would consist of getting in shape, joining a local basketball team and pursuing a championship. The game of becoming an NBA player could take years and the obstacles and opponents would be ferocious-not a game for the weak of spirit. The payoff for winning would be proportional to the obstacles-huge!
This is a power game. A power game occurs when a person uses most of his or her potential as a being. But, what about an adult playing a basketball game against fourth graders? This obviously would not present much of a challenge to the individual\'s personal potential, nor would it offer much in the way of fulfillment should the person win. Playing a kid\'s game occurs when one plays small, generally out of fear or an addiction to comfort. The individual uses only a fraction of her or his true potential-usually just enough to get by. Yet, those who hang out in the comfort zone for their \"payoff\" suffer staggering losses in personal expansion and fulfillment. (You don\'t have to stretch much if you\'re playing basketball with fourth graders.) There are a lot of opinions exchanged about what constitutes a power game. Doctor \"A\" shakes her head in disbelief and exclaims that if her colleagues were more dedicated, concerned and caring, they would be seeing 700 patients visits a week as she is doing. Doctor \"B\" who will probably never save enough money to retire on, says smugly that he is satisfied that he has obtained his goal of seeing 90 patient visits a week. So, who\'s right? Is doctor \"A\" greedy or an egomaniac, or is doctor \"B\" an apathy case living in denial? How do you get into a power game and get some fulfillment from your practice?
The answer is simple. Fulfillment comes from playing at high levels of potential. This is different for everyone. The question is not, \"Are you seeing 90 patient visits a week or 700 patient visits a week?\" The question is, \"How much potential do you have?\" It isn\'t greed or never being satisfied. It really comes down to the fact that human beings experience the most fulfillment in life when they are expressing the bulk of their potential. When you reach one plateau, you can discover how much potential you have by asking yourself,\" What else is possible?\" Choose a bigger game, set up a strategy for attainment, and go for it.
Know the game you\'re playing
Look at the game you\'re in right now, and tell the truth about it. Does your game empower you? Your family? Your staff? Your community? Or, is it set up purely for your comfort because you\'re afraid to strike out and play bigger?
Set up a bigger game that challenges you to be more, to accomplish more, to use more of your potential. Then take intelligent focused action-the actions that are necessary to win your new game. Be responsible for challenges as they arise. The bigger you play, the more chance you have for breakdown and breakthrough. Things will show up that have to be handled (upsets, lawsuits, etc.). Increasing responsibility-the ability to respond-will allow you to continue to expand during trying times. It\'s true that life isn\'t a \"sure thing.\" There are no guarantees. But, that\'s no reason to forsake a powerful lifestyle by choosing the temporary comfort that a kid\'s game provides.www.NewPatientsOnline.com
The ultimate trap
So, you say, \"That sounds great, but I\'m already doing what I\'m capable of doing and I\'m playing my little game to the best of my ability because that\'s all the potential I\'ve got. But how do you know? And where do you look to get the answers? You looked back into your personal history, and of course there wasn\'t much to see. Unfortunately, most people do not have a lot of successful experiences in their past, so when they look back there, it\'s not very inspirational.
You should take a look at a game that would be empowering-not comfortable-to yourself and others, and get into action. You will know how far you can go when you don\'t go any further. Make sure you\'ve obtained the necessary knowledge you need to succeed in the first place, and than apply that knowledge correctly. Sometimes people will jump into things totally unprepared and fail because they didn\'t know what they were doing. This leads them to the wrong conclusion that they were not capable enough to succeed. The lesson here is don\'t step into the ring before learning to box! On the other hand, if you have accumulated a lot of knowledge but are not willing to generate the courage to apply it, you will be stopped dead in your tracks.www.NewPatientsOnline.com
Playing power games leads one to a powerful lifestyle full of vitality and passion. Playing kid\'s games sets up a life of stress, anxiety, pretense, coping and an aggravating sense of \"what could have been but probably won\'t be.\" Not playing to your full potential but choosing comfort or avoiding a fearful situation by constantly playing kid\'s games normally leads an individual into a life of denial to justify such behavior. Think about it. If you live a life where you are constantly trying to avoid all the \"bad stuff,\" what do you end up with when you take an occasional break from all that avoidance? Leftovers, that\'s what. On the other hand playing power games, (which simply requires using your abilities to the max) allows for an intense, passionate life of progress and accomplishment. Does it really make sense to set up small games and win them at the expense of losing the bigger, more fulfilling games by default? When the game is on the line, it\'s not easy to justify trying to get by on walks-and then striking out.
