How do You Play the Game of Life?
Ah yes, the Game of Life. This journey we call life is much like the board game. When you spin the wheel with the new sunrise, how do you play the game? Are you striving to hit the finish line before anyone else and have the most money? And as you play, if you spin a 1 or 2, do you get upset? Are you constantly comparing where others are on the board in relation to you? Do they already have a wife and kids? Do you wonder if they’re secretly laughing inside at you because you landed on the $18,000 a year job and are thus far single? Are you having FUN playing the game, or are you taking it seriously?
Or when you play the Game of Life, do you not really care who hits the finish line first? Are you happy when your friend lands on the doctor space because that’s what they really wanted? When you land on the attorney job space, do you pass because you want to be a mechanic because, damn, you really like working on cars. Sure, it pays less, but cars rock. When you spin a 1 or a 2, do you smile because it allows you to experience more of the potential spaces in life? And do you enjoy each space you’re on, even those that others might label as “bad” because you know its just part of the game. And this game is FUN!
