Life is a game, and we have to play alone.

Life is too short to live roughly.

Day-to-day decisions are sometimes self-contradictory. Minds are busy deciding right or wrong, superior or inferior. There are many opinions, but we don’t know their merits until they are tested. Likes and dislikes are endless. Technology is taking up more space in our lives and also creating new spaces to grow. Heraclitus has rightly said that change is only constant.
Mentors are asking for growth, but minds love to be in the same zone. It is my life, but I allow others to kick as they deem fit. Interacting with different classes of people indicates that some people are alert about leading an impactful life, but the majority are blurred.
"Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant". Robert Louis Stevenson
The above quote suggests working and working and being less worried about outcomes. So, it is an insight into how to play the game of life. However, it is part of the whole and not final for the varying hues of our lives. As our awareness grows, we trace emptiness and gaps that are yet to be filled. I am responsible for such unworthiness, and there is no point in blaming others. I must accept who I am today, and it is the sum of our choices.
"Most of us have two lives—the life we live and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands resistance". Steven Pressfield
It is my life, and it is my resistance. Then say who is responsible. Out of total potentiality, we live a partial life. It is our choice.
It is to specify that through resistance, we get strength, but just to keep us going. Resistance, more than necessary, distorts whole pictures.
Willingly or unwillingly, we have to play games with our lives. There are more or less support systems for all of us, but we are steering the wheels of life at all times. Passengers on the bus are not deciding the direction, the speed, the roads, or the brakes. It is the driver who is alone, playing the game of driving.
We are living in a subjective world. When we see anything in absolute terms, even a simple task becomes complex. We are good when bad people are in our surroundings. Otherwise, there is no way to decide between a good and a bad person.
We may be losers in many areas. It does not mean we are worthless. We have something to get eminence in a few areas of our lives. But it is on us to find them or lose them.
We show that we understand what is to be done. Practically, we are influenced by outside forces to varying degrees. It is not unwise, but we must take responsibility if anything goes wrong.
In life, there is love, hatred, joy, sorrow, cooperation, jealousy, and other feelings. We have to learn how to live with them. It makes us stronger to face the toughness ahead.
"Sometimes it is the mistakes that turn out to be the best parts of life". Carrie Ryan
Most of us are afraid of mistakes. Eventually, such people miss the best parts of life. Going forward, taking our own experiences as a yardstick every time is an error in the sense that a few experiences may be unfit for the changing milieu.
Remember that winners are not great ab initio, but they have started to lead a responsible life before others take note of the difference.
