There are many ways that you can see life.

Is it a struggle? A marathon? A collection of random actions and encounters? A clock ticking slower and slower every day? Or can it be a playground?

The way we perceive reality often makes us live out that reality. If you focus on the bad things, then no matter how much ‘lucky-breaks’ you get, you’ll always wonder when it is going to blow up in your face. When you focus on the positive feats however, then you’ll see opportunities and chances wherever you look. And the bad things? Well, everybody is bound to have a bad day every once and a while.

I too look at life in various ways, depending on my mood. But these two are my favorite:

- life’s a journey

- life’s a game

Let’s take a look at the second one 

Life is a game.

There are many aspects on a game, but the important ones are:

It’s for fun

We all like to win

And it’s more fun when others play along. Providing they’re not too serious about it. 

The funny thing with a game is, that even though there are some rules, they always tend to change, depending on the company you play with, So be  lean, go for fun, and try to win. It’s your game, you are entitled to win.  But never be a sore loser: show sportsmanship if another other turns out victoriously. There will be plenty more of games will follow. Plenty more opportunities to make the best of it. And besides, the more we’ll play, the better we get at it. Different games require different skills.

Now go out and play.
