If life is a game, how did you play it?

Looking at my life now, I strongly believe that I still have more spaces to work on to become better and to grow to become more an inspiration.
Looking back, I have wasted so much of my energy and my time enriching myself of what is not necessary. Now that I have gained age and halfway the golden age (LOL), I only seem to have few years left (I guess), if life was a game, I didn't really played well to win. Now, it may not be enough but if I play wise and well, I guess it would be something I will personally proud of in the coming days. Living is not about accumulating more but enjoying it with the people we love. Do you agree?
How about you, how do you describe your life if it was a game, how did you play it?

Dear friend,
Life is a game, we are all here as a part of game, we get points, responds and God itself has created us entirely different from each one of us. Each one has their won talent and each one is here with a purpose or intention. We all are in the field to achieve that intentions and our own aims and goals. In between some may get hurt, die, get in bed, so on still others in the field goes on.

I totally agree....but you say that you spent your life enriching yourself with what is not necessary? Well I think as we go life is a learning experience...so even now you can look back at the way you have grown! I hope that I have played my life with the thought in mine to touch someone's heart. From the very beginning I had parents that were such a good influence that they set the path for all the children in my family and it was the best learning tool anyone could have. I grew up in a house where love lived...and that made me the luckiest girl in the world.....and I have tried to pass on what my parents taught me to my own kids...Sure we all make mistakes...but they help develop who we are. I can see too that by the few replies you have made that you are a wonderful..warm and enriched person!

yes it is really a game. i highly believe that. all of your doings is like a game. you must be careful in all your step and moves so that you will not lose. i think also that it's time for me to play game wisely because i am now on my last stage of age. i will see to it that i will win. i agree with you life is not accumulating of more wealth but you must be enjoy while you are still alive. you could not bring you wealth when you die but the memory of people around will be the best to consider.

If life is a game as you say, I was in a poker game and got a very bad hand. I had no control over that hand it was the hand that I was dealt, but I played it and continue to play it to the best of my ability.

I have had my share of mistakes in the past that makes me a better person now. I learn a few hard lessons in life that what we actually plan or what we want to is not really what gonna happen but if we work harder and not give up then we still gonna get it though we had to take the other road but the important thing is in the end it ended good and that is life. Its not always good times but there is also bad times, we just need to get up and learn and continue life. Just remember whatever card you play just don't play with the heart. Instead value love because it's the only win you can proud of the rest of your life.

My life is not the way I wanted it to be. I wasted my years with unnecessary things. I realize that I need to make plans and improve it for the future. I just go with the flow. They said dance with the music. I do it and I believe that I don't worry much like before.
It's a game, I'm not trying to win but I'm trying to enjoy the game.

If my life is a game I'd say there are times that I won the game but there are also times that I lose. But it doesn't matter with me if I lose the game what matter is that I still continue to play it and I have learned something on the time that I lost. Now I a can't say I am winning but definitely Im safe sure to be a winner of the game since I am trying to be more careful now on every decission that Im doing. I also apply the things that I have learned from the past which makes it helpful for me to be at where I am now.

That's a good question. I always don't like to play a game by cheats. So if life is a game, I will treat it seriously. I like to continuously have a challenge for myself. I always want to have a good achievement when I play the game.

hi jeanniemay!
I completely agree with you kapatid! I do believe that the material things one has accumulated over the years is not the measure of a man but how you live and love well. Material things are important but they are just the icing on the cake. But I wouldn't be denying that I am wanting financial gains. I still can't claim that I lived and loved well. Although, I am in my forties I still have a lot to learn. Oh yes, the experiences I had taught me valuable lessons and they are the ones that have enriched my spirit and mind..but i am still learning and struggling. I have peace and love but at the same time I still have worries and pain. My faith, although it is so little, will carry me through my end days. And when I reached the end of the road, maybe that is the time I will have an idea if how well I lived my life and how well I played it. Just my thoughts friend! Take care and have a nice day! :)
