Spirit: James, take note as you walk to the bakery to buy your gf a cake.

Dear Reader, It is with great delight that we share three bits of advice to help you win more in this challenging game.

1. There are traps on the game board

Getting stuck in these traps can lead to not living as fully in alignment with your soul. Tread lightly around the traps so you’re not giving your power away.

Do things in a light way, with humour and connection to your core.

The traps serve a purpose. A game needs temptations and weakness is inherent in the human condition. Falling into temptation helps you learn to seek within rather than giving your power away to external things or other people.

2. As well as traps, there are wins on the game board.

These wins do not require difficult stretches. They come naturally. They bring a smile to your face.

For example, completing a website that brings your truth to others.

3. To align more fully with the wins, there are habits you can adopt.

These habits keep you connected to your core, so you don't feel the need to seek outside yourself.

For example, James, the habit of sharing your truth here lets others witness your daily connection, your creations, and the joy in your life.

Other habits include:

• Checking in on a friend or family member

• Helping your daughter when she feels a little lost

• Smiling at a stranger

• Lifting someone up

• Shooting the breeze with someone

• Regularly playing tennis or paddle tennis

• Lending money when it feels light

These behaviours lead you more toward wins and less toward the traps.

James: This advice seems obvious. Everybody knows it.

Yet most people still fall into the traps. Or they get distracted from the wins.

Partners cheating on each other is one temptation we see around us.

Spirit: The person believes their partner should give them what they need. When the love, sex, or attention is not there, they look elsewhere.

But the cheating often leads to less. That is the lesson. The lesson points the person back to finding it inside.

So it is not really about having a stable relationship. It is about maintaining the habits that keep you heading toward the wins, and not falling for the traps. Then you do not need the negative experiences to get you back to your natural flow.

You are made of love.
