It’s unfortunate that people so easily forget that life is supposed to be interesting, challenging, and fun. If your life is filled with compelling choices, consider yourself blessed. Make some decisions, experience the consequences, and grow from there. It’s all good.
The only way to lose the game of life is not to play. Life is a game. When you actively play the game, you gain skill and experience (and hopefully gold as well). Keep playing, and you’ll eventually build yourself a level 10, level 20, level 30 character. Just make sure that when you hit level 30, you aren’t still fighting level 10 monsters.
Did you think you were supposed to succeed in every attempt to battle monsters, secure gold, or find good teammates? Of course not. That isn’t how the game works. On plenty of occasions, you’ll charge onto the battlefield filled with motivation and positive intentions, and you’ll get slammed. That’s supposed to happen. It’s part of the game. The game is supposed to be challenging.
How boring life would be if all of your attempts succeeded the first time… and instantly! A game that includes setbacks, delays, and randomness is a lot more fun. It keeps you playing longer and with greater motivation. Thank goodness our desires don’t manifest immediately, or we’d be bored to tears. It’s the effort and uncertainty that makes life so rewarding because the ultimate reward is the experience of playing, not the gold we collect.
The game of human life may eventually end when you die, but in the meantime enjoy yourself while you’re here. Life is supposed to be fun. Get out there and go play! Tackle some of those compelling choices you’ve been avoiding, accept the consequences, and grow from there.
