In this game of life, you are but a player. There are many others who are also playing the same game; everyone you see plays the game. However, some are aware they are playing, while some don’t and are merely floating and hence life plays them. Slowly teaching them, and helping them to see their true goal. It is easy to recognize those who are aware they are in the game. They walk purposefully, they stride with confidence, they have somewhat a glint in their eyes that shows they are moving to get what they want and they will not stop till they get it.

The most important rule in the game is to never take your eyes of the goal. It is a rule, your magic weapon, and it is something that you have to keep close to your mind at all times. As you go playing the game, you will learn many things which will either individually or collectively act as clues to help you reach the true goal. It is crucial to remember that every other person or challenge you meet in the game will have some lesson or knowledge that will help you to reach the goal. Some will teach you through word of mouth and some you learn by watching the mistakes of others.

As you move on through the game, you will realise there are other players’ who will also be playing parallel to you and often your paths will cross. This is where you need to practice the lessons you have picked up along the game. Some will test your courage, and often most will just distract you, especially those players who haven’t realised their true goal. Be careful of them. In playing the game, you need to remember that your baggage needs to be light. Travel as light as possible as you wouldn’t be using anything that you have accumulated over the years. As I have mentioned, be very alert of those whom you meet along the game as they may serve as a distraction from your true goal. There is no harm in getting distracted, but it slows you down, and if you are too attached to these distractions, you start losing track and sight of your true goal. Once this happens, be assured that though the goal is there, it takes a long time to get back on the right track and the path may seem more difficult.

These distractions can come in many shapes or forms, so always be careful of anything that seems to pry you away from your true goal. Happy or sad events, both may serve as a distraction. You may be rewarded as you move along the game based on your brownie points. You gain this points when you perform actions required of you, but again, do not be distracted with the rewards. Always remember to be detached as you play the game, or else the game may just play you. But this doesn’t mean you are not to play your role as you play the game. The game is a multi-player, multi-role strategy based game. As you move on the path, meeting challenges and people, you are to play your role, and with that try to reach the goal. The game of life may seem difficult and scary, and hence many decide to escape from the game by not consciously acting on the challenges and some even take their life.
