Before playing any game, either on PS or on your mobile, how do you feel?
You are excited and eager to play. When you start playing, you clear initial stages quickly because they are easy. You are now more excited to move forward to other stages.
What happens now is that difficulty increases. The opponent is getting strong, the monster is coming in between, the villain gets a superpower, and it is getting tough for you to clear stages.
But you never give up, and most importantly, you don’t overthink and don’t doubt your decisions.
You just think about what can be done, make a decision, and move quickly. Even if you fail with that decision, you don’t mind. You don’t sit by being sad and overthinking; you change the strategy by keeping in mind what didn’t work, and now you again move forward with more wisdom, and slowly you clear the stage that was difficult.
Now you are in the next stage with the wisdom you gained from the previous stage, and you are glad that you faced those challenges in the past because of those challenges, you gained the wisdom, and now you are using that wisdom to clear the next stages that are ahead. In short, those challenges were a blessing.
Finally, you are at the last stage, and now you are fighting the only obstacle. You failed many times but are still trying again and again without losing enthusiasm because you need to save your queen. After trying 100s of times, at last, you won by overcoming the last obstacle, and now you are celebrating with your queen.
The most important thing to learn from here is that you are the main character. You have the power to choose. You have the power to decide. You have the power to move forward. You have the power to try again and again even after failing 100s of times.
Now what will happen if you consider life as a game?
Failure and obstacles are inevitable, but just like in a game, what if you enjoyed living and doing things in life rather than complaining and blaming?
You are the main character in your life as well. You can decide what you want. You can decide where you want to go. You can decide what you want to learn. You can decide how you want to reach your destination.
Of course it will not be easy, but if you have the attitude of the main character of the game, then you can easily overcome the challenges just like you overcome them in the game. You will move forward, you will face challenges, you will learn from those challenges, you will again move forward with excitement, and again you will face some challenges, but the best part about challenges is that they are blessings that will make you stronger and wiser, and eventually they will help you when you move forward towards the next phases of life.
You will keep moving forward always, as there is no destination in life. Life is a game, and you keep playing a game because you enjoy playing it. If you are not enjoying everything in life, you are not playing a game.
If you consider life as a game, then you won’t take life and its problems seriously, because you will think of that specific problem as a difficult stage in the game and nothing else.
This way you can enjoy life just like a game and will definitely win at it.
