Goal Of Life

Iyanla Vanzant

The goal of life is not to win.  
It is to play the game with love.
The rules of the game are:

• Remind yourself of the rules,
• The game of life is rigged in your favor,
• Have a strong desire to win,
• Believe that you are worthy of winning,
• Have faith that you will win,
• Go for the love and have fun while you are doing it,
• There really are no points to count,
• Do not keep score,
• Play the game believing you cannot lose,
• Play the game for the love of it,
• The fact that you are here means you have already won the most important race,
• There are angels playing on your side, cooperate with them,
• The team you were born into really doesn't matter,
• As long as you are alive, never believe the game is over,
• There is only one coach for all the teams in life, His name is God,
• The coach has been cited for his consistent winning record.
• Listen to your coach because with Him you are assured victory.
