Play your own game

Make sure you know the rules of the game before you start playing.

You will not be able to change the rules if things don’t go your way.

Or you can start a new game.

A variation of the original, or something completely different.

A game where you get to make the rules.

 

“Life is a game, and it’s much more fun if you play it as your own game, so stay light and loose and relaxed.” – Bill Murray

“Treat your life like a game.” – Ray Dalio, billionaire hedge fund manager, philanthropist and author of “Principles: Life & Work”

It’s your move …

The pieces on the playing board are still moving.

Though that doesn’t really matter.

Because even the board has not settled yet.

So, what can you do?

You can go play on a separate board you know.

One you have played with before and understand.

With all the known pieces.

You can wait for the board to settle.

If it does, then you can see what pieces are left to play with.

If it doesn’t, then this is now the new evolving playing board.

You’ll have to find the pieces and work with what you’ve got.

You can assist with settling the board.

Working with the pieces and (re-)establishing the rules of the game.

Or, you can design your own totally new playing board.

With any many, or as few, pieces as you like.

It’s your move.
