There is no script for the game of life. Your options are changing every day. But you have to make a move to keep moving.

The good news is, there is an infinite number of ways to play the game of life. That’s why it pays to figure things out first before every step. Every move shapes where you end up.

At a fundamental level, the game of life is about solving problems in different areas of life and overcoming obstacles.

To win the game of life, you have to think in models, recognise patterns that accelerate growth, think both short and long term and most importantly, keep an open mind.

Allan Rufus explains it beautifully, “Life is like a game of chess. To win, you have to make a move. Knowing which move to make comes with insight and knowledge, and by learning the lessons that are accumulated along the way. We become each and every piece within the game called life.”

Great chess players think ahead of every move. They look for patterns before every move. They use logic on a whole new level to keep moving.
