I love the term “happily ever after.” It’s one of those phrases that’s meant to be a catch-all to describe that you’ll never be unhappy with your life once you get to the other side. I’m not saying that your life is perfect, or that you don’t have challenges and obstacles, but you are fully, 100 percent, aware of exactly what you have and the life you want to live.
I agree that in the best case scenario, you will be able to see the big picture. But it also means knowing exactly what you want and how to get it. It means making the necessary sacrifices to make sure that you get what you want. For example, if you’re not a gamer and you want to buy a new video game system, you’re going to be unhappy for a while until you get what you want, but you’ll never be unhappy if you just get an Xbox.
That’s right, you want to be happy, but you don’t want to take on the work and struggle that comes with living the dream. What I’m talking about is the “not giving up” mindset. The “this is just a phase” mentality. It’s easy to fall into this trap, but it’s how we got stuck in “the game”.
Some people get stuck in this mindset, especially when they get used to the idea of being a gamer and having to work hard to make a living.
I don’t mean this as a bad thing, it’s actually a good thing. The hard work that comes with living a life in the game is beneficial for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is that it makes you realize how good you are at what you do. Another reason is that it makes you realize how much you suck at something. One of the worst things you can do when you become a game player is just let the game determine what constitutes success and failure.
The worst thing you can do when you become a game player is to let the game determine what constitutes success and failure. I wouldn’t say you’re a game player, but you could be. When you’re not a game player, your every action in the game has a value. This is true for your actions as well as your thoughts.
In the early days of our era, we’d think that you’d be the one who didn’t get the point that the game doesn’t know who you are. In the early days, we were wrong. In our day, we were wrong and you’d be the one who wasn’t understanding our game of life.
In the game, success is defined as the fact that youve achieved a goal, either by accomplishing it in a short period of time, or by earning the right to a permanent piece of status. A permanent piece of status, however, is something that can be acquired by going into certain situations, and/or through certain activities. So when youre in the game, you want to be the one who achieves permanent status.
We want to achieve permanent status in the game, so we want to achieve permanent status in life, so we want to achieve permanent status in relationships.
