If you’ve ever played a good video game, chances are you spent a lot of time on it. Whether you’re shooting them up, messing around with your in-game character or planning a strategy to defeat your enemies, games bring a lot of joy. However, as we grow up, we eventually abandon games in favor of more productive activities.

We come to deal with reality and approach matters more practically. Those who spend long periods of time on games are scorned and deemed to be immature. As we move away from games and concern ourselves with more solemn matters, we inevitably lose our sense of wonderment and ability to take ourselves less seriously.

Life doesn’t have to be stale. We can confront reality the same way as we do in the virtual world. In fact, we live better when we approach life like a game. In conjunction of supporting the world mental health 2020, the purpose of this article with short videoclips is to co-creating a stress-free space to quiet and relax your mind, while the outer world is full of fears and uncertainties.

Take back the ‘remote control’ of your own life

And now, let’s back to the world of reality. If there is only one thing you can take away from this, know this: you are in firm control of your life.

The game of life is the biggest and most important MMORPG you will ever play. In this MMORPG, you dictate your own narrative and decide the path you are going to take. There is no ‘win’ condition. You are the main character in your own story — how far you go is all up to you.

“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” — William Ernest Henley

A game remains fun only because it excites us and continues to be a novel experience. The same can be said of life: we must design it in such a way that we are committed and deeply involved every single day.

Begin your own quest. Take the road less travelled. Explore and experiment without fear of repercussions. Do what has never been done before. Live life on your own terms.

Above all, remember to enjoy the game of life!
