This was sooo amazing!

Okay, as I have been playing I have noticed the tendency to want to quit when the game was not going in my favor! IE the computer had bought a bunch of hotels and I was mortgaging just to hang on!

So today, I started playing, and again I was not landing on enough of the same properties to be able to build, and he had the whole bottom line just past go bought and hotels put on it. I was convinced I could not win this game and wanted to quit. The EGO was telling me this is a waste of time you can't win this game!

I kept playing and had to mortgage a couple of properties and then landed on a full set and was able to put hotels on alll three... Then I went around a couple more times landing in between all his hotels and paying him nothing, and bought another corner of the board and added a few houses whos rents were bigger than his hotel rents, and then one more time around had hotes on them! Now he has maybe a 1000 dollars more than me, but my properties are worth more than his, and we just keep going around and around and around! Yea I pay rent on his hotels, but nothing compared to his rent on my hotels! I realized a few minutes ago, that I won the game this time, because I silenced the ego mind chatter that I could not do this game! I told my daughter that this is the first time that I have been able to play this way and actually own hotels and give the other players a run for their money!

I believe I have silenced the brain on more than just the monopoly game!!! This is very exciting, and I am looking forward to the transformation in my life! What a great time well spent for me, and I would recommend more people try this!!!
