      Playing Games with Purpose - Eric Tolman

      Level

      During my search for answers I encountered various opinions for success in playing the game called life. During this search I read scores of books with ideas and opinions on how to win, succeed, and achieve external success in this game. I believe most people and even most books have missed some or all of the five fundamental rules for keeping ourselves grounded while we play this most important game.

      Early in 2007 I was one of four people nominated for the 2006 Rookie of the Year award from the Salt Lake Board of Realtors. At that time, I had the big house and the fast cars, and money seemed to flow into my life from every direction. I achieved all my goals for the previous year and I was at the top of my game. I had all the trappings of success that said I was somebody. I had it all; or at least I thought I did.

      On the outside it seemed everything was going my way. Then, when I didn't win the award for Rookie of the Year, I felt devastated. Although I had just made more money in one year as a real estate agent than I had in the previous five years combined, that still wasn't enough. I needed that award to validate myself as a person of success. After all that was the goal, right? To be validated as a successful person.

      When I didn't win the award, my identity began to shatter and I started spiraling downward at a rapid rate. By August 2007 I had started drinking, got a divorce, and was broke all within four months. All of the dreams I had financed became living nightmares. At last I contemplated suicide. I wanted to die because my life had no meaning. Up to this point I had spent my entire life trying to prove myself to everyone else, to make myself feel better by being Somebody. Everything I had done or even thought of doing had been in the pursuit of money, property or prestige, because this was where my identity lay.

      During this time the real estate market changed and I started doing odd jobs in order to provide for my family. That's when I started to look for a solution to my problems by reading and listening to every success book I could find. But in this pursuit I also grew discouraged because it seemed the information I found was essentially the same except for the way it was presented. It seemed I was rereading the same tired message I had grown up with, the message, Go Big or Go Home. I had already traveled that path and had come up empty.

      This book is about my journey home, and my hope is that it will assist you in your journey also.

      The Five Fundamentals

      The five fundamental rules outlined in this book are designed to empower you on the way to realizing your purpose. Practicing the five fundamentals every day provides you with a more spiritual approach to fulfilling your desires.

      My intent is to assist you in tapping your highest potential along the way to fulfilling your Purpose. These five fundamentals are designed to keep you grounded with your inner self and to help you recognize what you have, who you are, and what you want along the way to meeting your desires, all in the service to humanity. My hope is that these rules will shift your paradigm of success.

      GAMES is the acronym I created for these five fundamentals. The five letters of GAMES stand for Gratitude, Affirmations, Meditation, Energize, and Service. As I practiced the fundamentals outlined in GAMES, my eyes opened to my Purpose.

      Everything I needed started flowing to me and I was no longer stressed or worried about the future. Most of all I became conscious of the wonderful responses I was receiving from others, and I became acutely aware of the beautiful, positive people I was attracting into my life. One of these people is my dear Friend, Mentor, Coach, Trainer and Co-Author, Christiane Turner.

      Introduction to Christiane

      Christiane owns a company named Quantum NLP. I had known about NLP for years, but I had no idea how to take NLP to the quantum level until I met her.

      In 2011 I took her course to become a Quantum NLP Practitioner. Since then she has assisted me in taking my own GAMES quantum, helping me propel Playing GAMES with Purpose forward. Throughout this book she will introduce amazing processes and personal exploration exercises, allowing you to actually experience the high vibration quantum level for interacting with life.

      Together our main intent has been to assist you with the fundamentals for your GAMES and to quantum leap you to your Purpose.

      Not only has Christiane touched my life and helped me to transform my personal quest to the next level, she is now available to help you develop your own GAMES that will lead you to greater fulfillment. To get the most out of these exercises, be ready to play when she takes you through the explorations.

      As we move forward on our journey together, you will notice that playing GAMES is raising your vibration along with the awareness of your Purpose. Throughout the book Christiane will take you on exciting adventures. Through her amazing processes you will learn to enhance your senses and general perception.

      You will also meet Jared Hansen, who will energize your physical senses through easy and effective ways that incorporate your whole body. Additionally we have posted some fabulous resources for you on our interactive website: www.quantum-intent.com. These resources will help you integrate and apply the information we share with you.
