The Game Of Life And How To Play It By Florence Scovel Shinn
by YogiGaruda8
This is a read-aloud of chapter 1 of the book, The Game, from The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn in 1925. In Chapter 1, Florence Scovel Shinn explains her core idea: life works like a game, and the “rules” are spiritual laws. She says that what you think, say, and expect shapes what shows up in your life. If you speak fear, you attract fear. If you speak faith, you attract good. She emphasizes how powerful words are. According to her, your words are basically commands that set events in motion. She pulls a lot from the Bible to make the point that people create their experiences by what they believe and declare out loud. Shinn tells several short stories about clients who changed their situations—money problems, relationship issues, career challenges—by shifting their expectations and using positive, confident statements instead of worry or negativity.
