Your Family is a Gameworld


Ok, here's the newest discovery from the 6-week Gameworld Bilder Training I started last week.

Your family is a Gameworld.

Again, I didn't know this a few days ago.

I thought Gameworlds were more intentionally created systems.

But that reveals my own Thoughtware about family.

I didn't intentionally create my family.

My family kinda just happened to me.

I didn't consciously choose it.

Until now.

Every family is different.

Each family is unique and has its own ecosystem.

I don't believe in a cookie-cutter way of being a family.

And this is important to remember as we live in a world where we're constantly being pushed this image of the happy nuclear family with mom and dad happily ever after.

I know some parents who were very intentional about creating their family.

The Love in the creation of my family was intentional.

But the creation of my family's structure, traditions, roles, rules, names, and principles wasn't.

I've been figuring that out as I go.

I've been relating to my family and my partner as a victim.

Unconsciously.

My Thoughtware was:

“I have to be with them because nobody else would”.

"I save her from raising the children by herself, and my children growing up without a father"

I can see this Thoughtware running unconsciously in many parents, especially fathers.

It works as a survival strategy because...

You get to be the hero.

But at the expense of sacrificing your authentic self under layers of resentment and numbing strategies.

This way of relating with my family isn't sustainable or regenerative.

My family's Gameworld isn't regenerative.

I'm still carrying unconscious old Thoughtware based on modern culture values:

Exploitation,
Domination,
Unhealthy competition,
Division, etc.

So, right now, my family's Gameworld is in a liquid state.

I'm standing at the edge, inventing what is next.

How do I relate with my family in a way that I don't sacrifice my being?

How do I deal with my fear of abandoning them?

What else is possible right now?

If these questions resonate with you, this is the space I'm inviting people into.
A space to stand at the edge of your being...
In connection with your team...
Inventing the next thing you need...
For your project, family, organization, or system...
To be regenerative.

Regeneration starts with you.

You can't take yourself out of the equation.

Bring yourself in!

Your people are waiting for you!

So, let's go! Let's play!

Love & Regeneration,
Jorge Pedret

P.S.:

If you want to join my team, we meet weekly to support each other to take the next step to bring our Regenerative Projects to life. One team member or project at a time. Join by yourself, or even better, with your team.

P.S.2:

Are you ready to upgrade your thoughtware based on domination, competition, greed, exploitation, scarcity, etc? You might want to consider coming to the 5-day immersive Expand The Box Training happening in Vancouver in 2 months.

8 years ago Around this time I became a dad for the first time. Today is my birthday as a dad So, what do you call that? Birth-dad? Father birthday? Dad-day? Anyways… In my family's culture this is day we parents celebrate. We celebrate the day the parents became parents. For the first, second, third, or tenth time… Being a parent will push you to the furthers edges of life. And I mean this! The brightest places. And the darkest places too. Come on people, We're talking about what life is...

You start new projects, but you never finish them. Starting something and not finishing it can feel like a curse. What happened that this pattern became what is? What got you here will not necessarily get you there. Teal Swan, an expert in human development and relationships, calls these the gatekeepers. The road to getting what you want isn't a straight line. I love the spark of starting something new ⭐! The excitement... The passion... The clarity... The motivation... The flow... But...

Hey, my weekly support and empowerment team is starting next week. We focus each week on one team member's projects. Reply "teamwork" to this email, and I'll send you the details. Ok, let's be blunt. Humans have feelings and emotions. You can stop hiding now. Humans are way more irrational and unreasonable than we like to think. → The way that we buy stuff... → The way we choose our partners... → The way we make friends... → And just generally the way we make decisions... These are all...
