I can’t believe I didn’t see it before.
It was right in front of me.
Feel good now.
A couple days ago my brothers made the 7-hour drive from Los Angeles up to Napa, California.
We’ve been hanging out, going on long walks, ordering pizza, and playing one of our favorite games…
The Taskmaster Board Game.
The game is based on an English comedy show where five comedians are gathered at a small house in London and filmed doing a variety of hilarious and outrageous “tasks.”
In the board game, players are given similar random challenges.
For example, last night one of the tasks was:
“Bring the judge 10 items that start with the same letter as your name.”
Feel good now.
I didn’t consciously notice a single thing starting with the letter “J” until I started looking.
But then…
I was dashing around the room like a maniac.
I felt pretty smart when I brought my brother a mop (“janitorial supplies”).
I felt like a genius when I opened a deck of cards from a side table and pulled out all four Jacks.
But then I hit nine items and—
got stuck.
I looked around.
I didn’t see anything starting with “J.”
Meanwhile, my brother was smiling at me with that unmistakable
“you’re missing something obvious” look in his eyes.
I was desperate.
I looked around again.
And then I couldn’t believe I hadn’t noticed it before.
My jacket.
Not only does it start with “J”—
it has my whole name in it.
I grabbed my jacket from the back of my chair and draped it over my brother’s shoulders.
Ten items.
Game won.
Feel good now.
And here’s what I learned:
Until you look for items starting with “J,” they don’t jump out at you.
Until you look for reasons to feel good now, they aren’t obvious either.
But once you do…
You start to see good-feeling things everywhere.
You start to feel good more and more.
It becomes easier to be your highest self.
Easier to act on your dreams.
Easier to be peaceful and express kindness.
Feel good now.
Look for reasons to feel good now.
That’s how you win the game of life.
Happily wearing my jacket and carrying a mop to victory,
Jack
PS
Feeling good now isn’t serious. In fact, it can be a fun game in your life.
