We have been in many circumstances where there is no way we can exceed expectations. No matter what we do in life there are things and circumstances where we are not successful. We may think success is related to our attitude towards it, however if we have a good attitude towards success as our only goal, this is not good enough! The reason for this is that we cannot do well in life by only putting importance on success.
Instead we need to place importance in the life process, and this needs to be realistic and achievable. Then we come steps closer to gain what we seek in the game of life! What we achieve is result of what effort we put in and what we pursue! We are in the middle of this game of life. We both impact life and get influenced by life. We can only determine the steps we take towards this process and not the success in life itself.
It is the value of our life that makes us who we are and not the success achieved by material gains. More than anything we need to bring value to our life. This is what makes us find meaning in life, and to be self reliant and self accepting.
In general life never ceases to have meaning and in any moment a person can choose a different path to the one chosen before. This means that our meanings and purposes in life are dependant on our choices partly effected by our environment. However we have a say in the way we play the game and what we want to gain from life. It is never too late to do something meaningful or have meaning in life. The point is to not give up on life. Instead we need to celebrate our being and ability to play in the game of life. We will gain what we seek as long as we look and see our limitations in life but yet still take life opportunity with two hands.
We play an important role in our life, we are not mere products of our environment. Even so the environment impacts us and influences us in many ways, yet still there is an inner voice, or inner choice that plays a central role in our decision making. We need to know that our identity and the way we are in life is dependant on this inner voice.
We play a game in our relationships, we play a game in life. This game is dependent on our view of ourselves, and our view of others. Therefore in order to be synchronised with our authentic self and play our own game in life, first we need to sweep irrational beliefs and replace them with rational ones. Then we need to learn to harmonise our feelings in accordance to our thoughts, and lastly to have a one to one relationship with our inner beings and to do the same with others. It is important to reflect and know ourselves and our story and narrative in order to play the right game in life.
We have multiple functioning in life, and these functioning are important in how we deal with life events. Every life event has a function and this function is what we label it as in accordance to our views. We choose life events functioning and how they are useful in our life. This is in accordance to our life experiences and our phenomenological field.
