THIS LIFE…IS
A GAME: You must play to win.
However, in this game of life, there have been a lot of casualty, as many a player is not conversant with the rules of the game before attempting to play. Fortunately for some, they have an extra time in which they have a chance to make amends, for many others, they are not that fortunate.
There are other sets of people that play just for the fun. They have no goal in sight. For them, this game is a hobby and not a profession. They plan to achieve nothing significant.
Others are reduced to mere fans , passively standing by, admiring and cheering the active players of the game, who are serious enough to have a prize in view.
A BATTLEFIELD: You must fight to win.
In fact, you fought among millions as a sperm cell to fertilize the ovum; you fought to be born. You fought through life growing up. With the birth of every vision, opposition mounts up to stop you getting to your enviable position. Challenges abound. Yet you must keep your eyes on the reward. You are a survivor. If you keep at it, you will make it.
A RACE: Run to win.
You must develop a winning strategy as the winner is not necessarily the swiftest. Run against time, as you don’t have forever to achieve all you’ve got to accomplish. If you will not be distracted an side-tracked, you will get there!
A MYSTERY: You must unravel it. One and one do not always add up to two. Where someone danced and was ‘sprayed’ with money, another dances there and gets the beating of his life. Everything you see is not as it seems. Not all that glitters is gold.
A PUZZLE: You must resolve it. In a jigsaw puzzle, all the pieces are usually there but are in the wrong place. When everything in your life assume its natural position, life becomes beautiful.
BRIEF: You must maximize the moment.
“Not everything that counts can be counted; and not everything that can be counted counts.” Stop counting your years; instead, make your years count. Some things in life are more important than life itself.
