Game of life


For once, let’s not go into the whole mind-soul explanation. For this time, let’s focus on the here and now, on this moment, this reality, this existence, this life. The life we have now, however much we may want to call it an illusion, is one that would never come back again. We may have another hundred lives ahead of us, or maybe even none. But this one, the life in which you are you right now, is a one-shot game. Mess it up and you’ve lost your hand.
Play your cards well and you’ll walk away with pride intact.
Sure, there will be some scary moments along the way. Aren’t there always? But we forget the immense power we possess to mould our lives into what we want them to be. We have the ability to create and destroy. Yet, so many only learn the self-destruct function instead of the co-creator one.
Why though? Hasn’t “life” given us enough examples of always giving a second chance? New opportunities always follow closed doors, the tears are inevitably replaced by a smile and a last kiss has always preceded a first kiss.
So sure, you’ll argue and fight your way through the end of a relationship, cry yourself silly, scream, shout, rant and rave, hide in a corner, sulk, moan and groan. And then, guess what? The universe creates its little miracle. Before you know it, there a new face in your life, a new soul your heart beats for and moonlight kisses to gently wipe away those tears.
And with its traditional fanfare and trumpets blowing, those girls in their cheerleader skirts and pompoms are holding your name up in the lights because You have truly emerged the star, the Victorious One. The one life never did manage to defeat. You’re the cheered and admired one who did believe in second chances, or third, or fourth, or twenty-fifth chances even. And you do know why the universe gave you all those chances, don’t you? Because you believed it was your total and absolute right to have those chances. You never gave up even for a second. And the universe, in all its glory, always, always gives back to you exactly what you believe in.
So don’t waste your chances believing that you’re not entitled them. Remember that this is a game after all, and you’re still a player, you still have your hand, and you know what else? Unbeknownst to all others, you hold the trump card. The belief card. It’s yours to play whenever you feel the need to, or want to, or even just for kicks. It’s your card. And if you look at your hand closely enough, you’ll see that you have the Belief card in multiples.
So keep playing your game, keep believing, keep winning. You’ll get exactly what you think you deserve to get. And you are you, after all. Surely you deserve nothing less than the best!
