I bet most of us have had days when we critically analyze many of our actions and it’s consequences. Or worried about the numerous different outcomes according to our actions or words. Run through our head a bunch of simulations of what might happen or how someone might take it.

We wonder, should I say it? Should I do it? What’s the best approach to this? Will this work better? Maybe another way is better? And so on and so forth.

This is our tactics! Either we’re successful or not, we try to carefully plan our move to achieve the best outcome.

The other day I was really tired of over thinking so many moves and that’s when it all started to feel like a game. We even have manuals!

Either it is online or on bookshelves, there’s a million words written how we can improve ourselves, our skills, our attitude, our earnings, our success, our lifestyle, and anything else you can think of.

And it is just like when we are stuck in a game and go online looking for some cheats or tricks and tips on how to move on to the next stage.

There are the strategic players and even the casual or spontaneous players, those who just randomly push some buttons. There are those who just want to get to the end fast failing to collect, on purpose, any excess bonus points, and those who take the extra time to find them all.

So, life is a game we play. We need to get through several stages and levels as we progress thought life, earning and loosing points.

And sometimes we’re motivated with this game, while other’s we’re just trying to finish and see the end of it.

Sometimes we need a break from the game, to lighten our head, have a rest and get our energy or motivation flowing again.

Sometimes we are so engaged in the game that we take it too seriously. We focus too much on the goals we need to accomplish and we forget to enjoy the whole experience of the game.

Let’s take our time and admire the whole package.
