The "Game" for a Well-Lived Life

According to me:-)

I stayed "swamped" until I learned to say "No."

I didn't learn to say "No" until I figured out what I really, really wanted for my life.

I couldn't figure out what I wanted in my life until I stopped playing the "Status Game".

In the Status Game, EVERYONE'S opinions (or my story of their opinion) are like a terrible high school band blowing the tuba and banging the marching drums in my ear.

I finally realized that playing the Status Game was like tryna get blood from a stone.

It took me 3 decades.

I'm a slow learner.

Finally, I started playing a new game.

I call it the Energy Game.

It's a game of energy leverage.

It's a game where I get assets to do the heavy lifting for me...not my ass.

It didn't take long...

The terrible high school band decided to march somewhere else.

I could actually HEAR MY OWN MUSIC.

At first, the peace was wonderful.

Like steering onto the smooth road after riding the rumble strip for decades.

Then the peace got weird.

Like too much equanimity, LOL!

Because I'd optimized my life with energy leverage and assets, I was making so much loot, so efficiently that I got "bored".

So, what did I do?

I steered back onto the rumble strip.

"Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaah."

The Status Game pulls ya back.

Luckily, I didn't go but a few miles on Drama Highway before my inner GPS guided me to play Energy Game again.

My calendar is clear.

My loot keeps stacking.

I am doing my life's deepest, most meaningful (TO ME) work.

I am healthy as an ox hopped up on Viagra.

I turn "shit" into "sugar" on the regular.

Even with Jeannie's health "shit"...we've turned it into the most transformative relationship "sugar".

I am prouder of my 30-year marriage than anything else.

With that said...

I am not the best "by the book" father, brother or son.

I've always struggled to devote my love and energy to more than one person.

Part of dropping the Status Game...and playing the Energy Game...

...was swallowing this jagged lil pill about myself.

Acceptance is challenging when others blow their horns in my ear.

The Energy Game allowed me to hear my own music and wisdom.

Then I knew what was important to ME!

Then saying "no" became 2nd nature.

And I am (almost) never "swamped" because I am totally engrossed in where I am investing and spending my energy.

Thank you for spending some of your time with me!

Rooting For Ya,
Travis

PS A key part of playing a fun Energy Game is becoming “financially indestructible”.

I’ve still got my Financially Indestructible Training on an all-access pass where you only send loot AFTER you do it and YOU choose the amount.

A shocking number have taken me up on this below:

It will be coming down in less than a week.
