Life Is A Game

Life ain't nothing but a game aint it? 

I remember when I was little, I would play video games. I used to really love Laura Croft Tomb Raider but there were some levels that were very hard to beat. I remember my Dad buying me the video game book and it was only from there that I actually could go to the next level. In life it’s going to be the same thing sometimes. God has you at a certain level and there is some information, knowledge and habits that you may need to acquire in order to get to the next level. We as human beings have blind spots and knowledge and awareness is how we get rid of the blind spot. Your suffering is not just a spiritual attack, it is actually done on purpose to tell you something is wrong here, you need to change your mindset, your approach or you have ignorance in a certain area. All of this takes humility to grow through. It’s like when you have a car and something’s wrong, doesn’t the engine light come on? Well your suffering or your problem is your engine light. Problems are in your life in order for you to grow and learn. The wealthiest and happiest people in the world have solved the biggest problems. On a monetary level how much you are being paid is your value in the marketplace. I fully believe that we are intrinsically invaluable, we are worth so much no money can buy us because of who made us. But as far as the skills and our value in work, the higher your skills and knowledge the more you will be paid. I was telling myself the other day if life is a game, why don’t I use the mindsets and strategies of the most successful and happy people in the world, whether that's getting a mentor, course or a book, we have everything in our fingertips.. And many times it's actually unlearning. Unlearning everything we learned from culture and our past to strip away everything we thought we needed to be in order to be the person we actually are. This is a transformation process. Now that you know that life is a game, what is the next step or knowledge you need to acquire in order to get to where you want to go? Or who you want to be?

1 Corinthians 9:24-27 KJV

“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway”
