Relationship Series: PressPlay on the Game "New Couple Script"
Show Notes

We are excited to give you a glimpse of real Super Couples taking part in my new book "PressPlay" (available for purchase February 2023).

This week's couple Allan & Lari are in the middle of a family move from the Gold Coast of Queensland to Sydney and yet, they still found time to play Chapter 2: New Couple Script!

Find out how they went!

Intro:

The dynamic couple I get to chat to today played one of the more advanced games I’ve created: New Couple Script.  

I don’t want to scare anyone off with that caveat bc being the script writer of your life can be one of the most joyful things you do.  I believe, you are creating your life whether you consciously know it or not, so, why not sit in the Director’s chair and deliberately creating? The joy of knowing you scripted that into reality can be more powerful than you know.

Based on some of the work of Neville Goddard in the book ‘The Power of Awareness’, he states that, “Your mind is always arranged in the image of all you believe and consent to as true.” 

In light of that, I wanted to create a space for deliberately journaling those images that YOU (the player) get to arrange as true.  Giving yourself space and time to actually do the work is often the only missing piece to a life well lived! 

Before I introduce our loving couple, there is one more inspiration for this game that gave me such goosebumps in my 20s, that I knew I had to create an exercise that us in the Western World could grow from:

“Introducing the woman known for “burying her dreams”: Tererai Trent of Zimbabwe.  This awe-inspiring woman developed a list of goals for herself as a young girl living in a rural African village. Her list was buried in a piece of tin behind her home in a field where she herded cattle. Unable to go to school as a child because of being born female, she secretly did her brother’s homework until her father found out and married her off at age 11.  Having 3 children by age 18 with an abusive husband, she quickly divorced him the moment the family landed in America.  Over the next 20 years, she accomplished each and every goal in her tin can: earning a bachelor's and master's degrees from WMU and completing her journey from ‘life as an impoverished African child bride to a career as an international scholar who holds a Ph.D’.  Each time she returs to Zimbabwe, she digs up the list, crosses off the achieved goal and moves on to the next one.”

How awe-inspiring is that?

Ok, so back to the here and now and this ideal partnering for this game, supercouple, Allan & Lari.  Their 16 years of development on themselves makes them great for this game. 

Having lived in many places (Japan being one of them) during their 24 years together - they are about to bound out of the GC of Australia with their 2 daughters for their next big adventure in Sydney.  So, I thought “No better time than NOW” to deliberately create into their next 5 years…
