"Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game." Florence Scovel Shinn (1871-1940).
Having established that her topic is a very down-to-earth physical one she explains her views of how spiritual laws affect our everyday lives and how to use them to play the game for real. I personally have put into practice what she has to say in a time of terrible upheaval and uncertainly.
For much of my working life I failed to grasp the idea that the rules of the game I'd found myself in were based on Charles Darwin's
Suddenly the pennies dropped - indeed, all my pennies disappeared - and my freelance business (and I) went bankrupt and I personally lost everything. Then I came across a little book with the answers I needed about how to succeed in life called 'The Game of Life and How to Play It'

Have we been expecting to find the purpose of our lives in all the wrong places?
As I learned for myself, in the most dramatic way (bankruptcy), making a few tweeks to your life can also tweek your luck, self confidence, career, success, prosperity, happiness, finding a soulmate, the dreaded Mid-Life Crisis, also in a dramatic way! This is the broader picture where finding the real purpose of your life - just any old purpose won't do - is the very foundation of the mix of life we need to get right if we are to succeed at anything!"There is nothing wrong with change," said Sir Winston Churchill, the British wartime Prime Minister, "if it is in the right direction."
And that's the crucial question, isn't it. Without a crystal ball how can we ever be reasonably sure which direction is the best one for us to choose? There's a good answer!
You already know what you're meant to do with your life.
It's the single secret to happiness, success, luck, career, self confidence, self esteem, prosperity, good health, even to finding a soul mate. It's the big message I got from having my life crash and burn, ending up homeless, unemployed, penniless and friendless.
What I wish I knew then - what absolutely everyone on the planet should know - is that we all have a unique life purpose, a destiny, a hidden talent if you like, and it is within us waiting to be found (unless we're one of the few lucky ones who've found it already).
We tend to think of destiny as a script for our lives imposed upon us by some external force, God perhaps, over which we have no control.
I have a different view. "Destiny" is a gift we chose for ourselves before we were born - that's right - by our own soul. It's our whole purpose in life - or should be - and failure to find it leads to trouble and, to say the least, bad luck.
"Finding" our life purpose, or destiny, is really a misleading concept because it's not something we have to go out and "get," but rather it's something we need to go within and claim.
You've already got it, because you chose it - even if you haven't consciously realized it. Then you need a plan to bring it into reality - because we create our own reality with our thoughts, an idea recently made popular in The Secret
Two of the key contributors to 'The Secret' went further. Jerry and Esther Hicks published a series of eye-opening channeled books based on a spiritual take on The Law of Attraction
Now there's the new Cosmic Ordering craze: is it really possible to place an order with the Universe for whatever you want? I've found this truly life-changing stuff - literally!
What does science have to say on the matter?
In a 24,000 best seller published by Bob Proctor's organisation, Success Engeering, followed by Luck Engineering, - read about both here! - presented the cutting edge science and quantum physics behind how to literally engineer luck and good fortune into your life or business.
But how do we know what our true life purpose or destiny is when we see it?
In a survey conducted among creative people of all kinds, from science to art, to learn the cause of 'genius' (Uncommon Genius
When I get an irritating feeling up my spine I now know it's not the right thing to do. For too long I ignored that irritating feeling, that unease. But a feeling of exhilaration means, go for it! Project your thoughts into the future and see how you feel.
"Your broader Non-Physical part of you communicates with you," wrote Jerry and Esther Hicks in 'The Law of Attraction', "and has done so from the day you emerged into this physical body. That communication comes in many varieties - but all of you are receiving the basic communication that comes forth, in the form of your emotion. Every emotion that you feel is, without exception, communication from your Inner Being letting you know, in the moment, the appropriateness of whatever you are thinking, speaking, or acting."
To pull all this together in a meaningful whole I recommend this comprehensive up-to-date resource as your definitive guide to undersanding, and implementing, what should really be called the Law of Thought, in your own life.
Your life purpose will ALWAYS utilize your greatest passions, talents and interests.
"Your brain is similar to an iceberg," says psychologist Valerie Dawson. "The 90% of the iceberg deep below the surface is where all the information is that you have been searching for - all the wisdom and the 'knowing' about what you were put on this Earth to do is right there! Inside this part deep within are all the keys to your success, happiness, and abundant life!"
Your life's purpose is already within you!
The Greek philosopher Plato knew this when he wrote in his best-known work the Republic
"The secret to which I refer ... cannot be purchased for money, for the reason that it comes in two parts. One part is already in possession of those who are ready for it."
"Follow your bliss," said scholar, author and mythology expert Joseph Campbell
Or, trust your beeps!
I didn't. I had to lose everything before the doors started flying open for me. I don't want this to happen to you (if it does I've just told you what to do about it)!

PS. You can read the full account of my fate after bankruptcy, of my adventures with nothing, my search for the meaning of it all, and the true mystery that fell into my lap soon afterwards (was it chance or destiny?) in my 211-page non-fiction book 'The Ghost of Granny Fitz' What was her shocking secret?. How did I go from life in an old caravan in the Aussie bush to New York, Regency England and Northern Italy?

- I read a two in one book by Florence Scovel Shinn when I was on holiday three years ago and it was perfect timing. I loved her work and her words affected me deeply, but I had to give the book back as it was borrowed. I am now a very happy full time writer and am waiting for the law of attraction to kick in and help me earn a living from it. lol Thanks for the lens. I will read more of your work when I have a moment. Thanks for the insights.
