Some say that life is a game to be played. Where there are more and more people believe this as a fact, however humanity is suffering because of this idea. There are always people who think that they have to be better than someone else. It is what this society has come to, and everyone is trying to out do the others. This is where the stress of life happens and the cause of what the media has flooded the world with. The real game should be doing better than you did the day before.
What I am saying is that you should be focusing on your own life and not worrying about what someone else has. This way of life is what must be taught to the younger generations in school and at home. It is something that I have done all my life as it is the right way in life. In many ways society does not want you to live that way because they will have no control over the population.
To play the game of life is something that starts at home and in the school years. We are taught how to care for ourselves by are parents or other family members. The school system teaches us how to study which prepares us for our future. These first eighteen years of life are where the lessons we need before we are able to make our own choices, or what we are told are our choices. Then there is the biggest lesson of it all, we start our life and find out that the world is filled with people who want control over us or to compete with us. Thus, we really never have control because we are always told what to do in our career so we can keep our jobs.
After we have managed to finish our schooling in college or university, we start to understand what the real game that society plays. Most people accept what is happening and follow the rules for each part of their lives. The easy way is to follow these rules and live out your life in the way that society dictates. Personally, I never cared what others were doing and the games they were playing because I followed my own path in life. I did not compare myself to others because I was only focusing on my life. I always known to do my job and take care of my life. I learnt that at a very young age.
When you are trying to be something that you are not and to out do someone else, the stress will take you into an inner hell. It could also cause you to spend more than you are making which is what society want you to do. That way you are licked into a cycle of the game of life.
The best thing is to make your life simple and not to care what everyone else is doing. The most important thing is that if you are caught in societies game and you want to stop to get your life back, well it takes time. Depending on what has taken place from the point you are at is what you have to look at. You can not change what has happened in the past, however from this moment forward you can change the direction you are going.
There are other games that take place in our lives like the game of live, and the mental game that friends play against each other. If it is in a positive way the games will be seen as helpful, take it from me, if a game is being played and you are part of it and it is negative, get out.
For my life I have always pictured my life as a game of chess that started in 1986 when I moved to Leader. I was not like by most of the kids in school so I spent my days studying topics that I liked and until I started working, after school I would be bottle picking and during the winters I was always reading.
When I made that first choice to work, I found the kitchen which was to become where I would spend most of my working career as a chef. I went to school in Edmonton for Culinary Arts. I saw the games that were being played and I never followed suite. The only person I was competing against was me. I became one of the best chefs in the world in a short four years. I know that I was the one who had to do the work if I wanted to not be sucked into societies game.
After January of 2005, I made the switch from the drive for a successful career as a chef to taking care of my mental health. What would be the end of my career, I was shown the path that I am now on. I did hold jobs up until September of 2020 when I had to take early retirement because of health reasons.
Since I am no longer in societies game, I have achieved a new career that I can do at my own speed. The game of life spit me out and now I have the ability to share my story with the world as an author where societies game can not touch me.
Stay safe.
