Hello Friends,
I trust you all are doing well!
Today, I am sharing my thoughts while entering the next level of the game.
We are about to enter 2019 and I am referring it as a next level of the game.
Yes, sometimes I feel, Life is like a Video Game and every year is like a New Level.
While ending the level of 2018, I suggest you look back at your life, I am sure it will give a quick boost to your confidence.
No matter what situation you are in, you must have achieved some good things.
Wherever you are right now, is not where you started your journey.
If you look at the past, you might get amazed to see that you have conquered some fears that were holding you back.
Something that seemed very difficult at some point of time is now done with ease; you have overcome various challenges.
Your mistakes of the past must have taught you some good lessons while your achievements must have shown you the better ways of doing things. Your experience so far must have broadened your overall thought process.
So, if you have come along this level, you will certainly pass the next level as well.
Imagine Life as if you are playing a video game. Usually you don’t know what challenges you are going to face in the new level. But you still enter the new level without any fear or anxiety. Rather you always have lot of excitement while playing any video game. Isn’t it? At least, that’s my personal experience.
Of course, as you face various challenges in the game, you find creative ways to overcome those challenges. And many times, there is no single correct way of solving a problem. While playing, you have choices to make which will lead you through different challenges, different tasks, and may even show you some shortcuts or even give you some bonuses.
While you are playing, you celebrate small wins within each level. For example, any time you collect some coins or energy booster or a jet pack or anything that increases your chances of winning the game, you immediately scream, you enjoy. Likewise, in your life, whenever you achieve something that will lead you to the bigger success then appreciate yourself, celebrate that small win immediately, don’t postpone the enjoyment till the end of the level. That will help you in keeping your dopamine level up and energy higher which in turn will enable you to achieve more and better.
Now, is it possible not to make even a single mistake while playing? No way, but you don’t give up, you still continue your game, don’t you? Similarly, in real life even if something goes wrong, continue your efforts and things will get better. Just remember that with one or two mistakes, you cannot lose the game. In fact, as you are facing new challenges in the new level, you may commit some errors, but you must learn from those errors and take precautions not to repeat those errors. And then you are alright.
You need strategies to win any game, similarly you need to have strategy for your life!
The strategy doesn’t have to be too complex always, even a simple Plan followed with Commitment and Discipline can bring you a big win!
By the way, just completing levels is not enough rather what matters is how effectively you are completing the levels. Apart from the fun you had while playing, your score is important, and it depends on how well you have played the game!
In case, you have not achieved the desired score in 2018, then set your target much higher for 2019 and work towards achieving it.
Even if you have achieved good score in 2018, please don’t rest yet, look for bigger challenges, look for bigger problems to solve.
Do you know, you have extremely powerful tool with you? It is called Mind. If anything can limit you, is only your mind. Anything that you can imagine can be achieved for sure. Absolutely nothing can limit you, if you are Affirmative. Just play the game with the utmost PASSION and you will have reasons and opportunities to celebrate at the end of each level.
I wish you all a very successful 2019.
Good luck for your Game! Good luck for your Life!!
