Game Called Life - Back to Your Quest

Writing my previous post, it took me a few iterations.

At first, I had a simple comparison:

the game’s main character as a mirror of ourselves.

But then new perspectives came in — one after another.

Until finally, I crafted my version and hit publish — happy with its form and message.

And then it happened again.

During an early morning walk — in the excitement of a new quest I’ve just started —surrounded by nature and stillness,

gazing at the surface of the lake in front of me…

It struck me again.

Another layer. Another insight.

An extension to the post I thought was finished.

Whether it’s a board game or a digital adventure,

you don’t only face obstacles and enemies trying to slow you down, distract you, or push you off the road.

You also face yourself — and your choices along the way.

The turn you take.

The doors you open.

The way you play your character.

And there’s also the element of chance.

The dice. The unexpected twist. The roll of fate.

Some moves take you forward.

Others… pull you back.

Sometimes it’s just a few steps.

Sometimes a whole chapter.

Sometimes — a complete reset. A brand-new game.

Still — you don’t give up.

You keep playing.

Wiser. Smarter. Trained. Experienced.

You avoid known traps.

You read the signs around you.

You focus deeper.

You play with more intention.

Isn’t that life, too?

Whenever it feels like you’re starting over — again and again —

know that it has purpose.

You’re not the same person who stood at that start line the first time.

You’ve learned. You’ve grown.

You’ve fallen and risen.

You’ve tried and adapted.

When you know a certain path in the game didn’t serve you —

you don’t choose it again.

At least… not without awareness.

And yet, sometimes we still do.

We take the path we know doesn’t work,

hoping this time it will lead somewhere new.

We wouldn't risk that in the game.

I’m not leaving you with a clean conclusion. Just an open wonder. A reflection in motion.

Thank you for reading this reflection. If it stirred something in you — stay close.The next pages are on their way.

✨ Now… get back to your quest.
